Sebastian is an Azure Nerd with focus on DevOps and Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) that converted from the big world of SharePoint and O365. He was working with O365 since 2013 and loved it ever since.

I am currently trying out a lot with Azure Functions. With CI / CD pipelines and how to automatically deploy them. But also trying out C# and PowerShell to be used with Azure Functions. When I came to use PowerShell with Azure Functions, I got to a problem. I am using an Azure Function with a queue trigger to read from that trigger. This [...]

With the „infrastructure as code“ paradigm even administrators need to cope with their own pipelines and make them as save as possible when deploying resources. Even more, [...]

Recently I had to make another ARM-Template for a project which only lives on Azure. Unfortunately all resources were already created on Azure and I needed to kind reverse engineer all configurations. Within that I came along some problems.

My blog is running on WordPress. I also have my own O365 tenant and I am also using Azure to try out some stuff. One of my wishes was, to not have to worry about my WordPress logins. The best thing would be to have SSO for my blog with my Azure Account, as I am using my Windows 10 machine, O365 and Azure with one account. I already tried [...]
