The PowerShell module AzBobbyTables by @palmemanuel.bsky.social is your friend for anything Azure Storage Tables

The bulk of that cost is compute cost (mainly Azure Functions and/or Container Apps)

For my usecases with small (usually less than 1GB) datasets and low transactional volumes (single digit users), the cloud bill is at the most a coffee a month.

Depending on requirements for volume, availability, and performance, of course, but most of my hobby projects run on combinations of Azure Storage (blobs, tables, and queues), Azure SQL (free), and CosmosDB (free). Azure Storage is vastly underrated, in my opinion.

A diet coke or a redbull, often in combination with a good black coffee is how I start the day most of my days.

Also super handy to find which subnet (and vnet) a given IP resides in.

Just had a great session by @simonwahlin.bsky.social about #Bicep and #Azure deployments. Deployment stacks and Azure templates are definitely a thing to look into!

Just ordered some coffee from @palmemanuel.bsky.social's new side business arkanum.coffee/en/. Really looking forward to the first cup! ☕️

Arkanum is a specialty coffee roastery based in Stockholm, weaving clear origins into mystical flavors.

It includes child resources but it only works for a resourceGroup, it is terribly slow and exports a template, meaning I have to parse it and filter the resources I'm interested in which results in more code and worse performance than I have now.

000

Yea, I basically want a command to export the full configuration of any given resource and be able to run that on a (potentially large) list of resources.

100

I cuurently query a few tables in Resource Graph combined with Azure.Bicep.Types library to list potential child resource types, perform a list on each child type to get resourceIds followed by a Get on each resourceId. It works but it not very performant and throttling is a pain.

000

There is also a table for appserviceresources so I can get them there, but I am looking for a generic way to get ANY child resources and not have to implement custom logic for each type.

100

I mean for example given a site resoure (e.i. FunctionAp) I want to get all child resources like configs, but also extension resources like DiagnosticSettings, PolicyExemptions and RoleAssignment. I can find tables for PolicyResources and AuthorizationResources so those can be solved using ARG.

Simon Wåhlin @simonwahlin.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Hey #Azure friends! I have a challenge for you. What would be the most performant way to list all potential child and/or extension resources for any given resource? REST API, SDKs or anything else is fair game, but it must be generic and work for any resource type.

111

Nice! I'll have to try that one!

Simon Wåhlin @simonwahlin.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

That was indeed interesting! I'll have to experiment with that when I get home to a computer.

Simon Wåhlin @simonwahlin.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Please test it first, I'm not sure I didn't get any typos in there ;)
