I’ve talked before about Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) for .NET on this blog, but I feel like I should bring attention to another product that our team ships that is massively adopted in the community - MSAL Python.

To remove the toil of writing authentication code directly, our team at Microsoft has been working on adding a new tool to the developer toolbox - an authentication broker.

How to collect and aggregate MSAL metrics in the cloud with minimal code.

I am a big believer in good documentation being an essential part of the product. Good docs are hard to come by for several reasons, not the least being the fact that writing good docs is hard.

I decided to host a static site on Azure App Service. I also decided that it would be nice if I could restrict who could access the site.

If you are building software on Azure, you’ve likely stumbled across the concept of managed identity. In layman’s terms, a managed identity is an automatically provisioned and managed identity resource that can be used to access other resources in Azure.
