The zoom-ins in the video are from Screenflow - the app I use to record my screen and keyboard shortcuts for these videos. AFAIK there isn't a functionality in VS Code for zooming in a specific section. I only know of making the text larger across the board with cmd + '+'. Hope that answers your question.

Thank you Conrad!

Thanks Ikechi ♥️ for your support. It means a lot to me :)

I do. But it only does it for the contents of the files, not in the filenames themselves. And that's the bug that cost me hours 😅

Thank you. If you watch the whole hour, thank you x5 🙌

@@JulieNgTech Just did 👀 Very refreshing to see you "fight" through all sorts of small issues, permission stuff or simply typos. Extremely recognizable. Definitely keep the keyboard shortcuts, made me discover some I did not know about in VS Code. And I am going to need that VS Code theme please 🙏

Hey, thanks for your thoughtful comments. Apologies, I didn't get a chance to respond until now. I agree with you and part of me would love to do the "zero to hero" videos. But they take too much time. The smaller 5-6 minute videos work well indeed. The super short ones I have for Azure DevOps are amongst the most viewed on this channel. My biggest challenge is time. Making videos is not my job so this takes time from my personal life. Even short videos, but esp. zero to hero take hours to plan and shoot. The "easiest" videos for me to do are the unplanned and unscripted ones 😅 But I worry that long term that will make this channel disjointed. So thank you for the feedback. I'll see what I can do medium term.

You're welcome! Thank you for watching this video. Funnily enough I recorded another Terraform state video last week :) I need to re-watch it to see if it's worth releasing since I already have a debugging Terraform state video.

Aaaw, thank you for noticing. The pair programming idea is intriguing. Maybe one day on some OSS if I get back into OSS. If you work for AWS, OSS is probably the only place I can pair program with someone from a competitor without violating my contract… I'm a goodie two-shoes who dots all her Is and crosses all her Ts 🫠

Oh I don’t work for a competitor. I work for FICO. The AWS Hero recognition is similar to the Microsoft MVP program. So we can certainly do something together! 🎉🎉🎉 I run the YT channel @cicdonaws but do non-AWS stuff too!

I am also happy to do something in the k8s or Azure ecosystem as long it’s CI/CD or automation related 😊

Thank you Frank. I am going to try to post more regularly. And thank you for noticing the poster, probably one of my most prized possessions as I got it from Erik Spiekermann himself. I encourage you to check out his work if you want a poster. If you don't know his name, but you like in Germany, you definitely know his work. His typography is why the Bahn and Autobahn are amazing. Okay, end design nerd tangent 😅

@@JulieNgTech Shame on me: didn't no him. Wow really impressive. Didn't know I was so ignorant :D I'll certainly check out his work. I am kind of surrounding by his work everyday. Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it! And I am relieved it is still relevant many years later 😅

Thank you for the feedback. 2FA is already awesome and a great step! Means your already more security consciousness than most people. And putting GPG keys on the yubikey will bring you into the elite 🤓

I ended up buying a YubiKey as well, haha I love it!

Awesome! Sorry for slow response. But personally yeah, I think a physical key, esp. with PIN is best. I like the physical separateness incl. independent authentication of it all. There is new passkey technology that's similar and will be great for improving the default security levels of the general population. But I still want the separation because biometric authentication is a risk in my opinion. Lots of people turn off phones and laptops before traveling to some countries. And although I find Windows Hello on my work computer useful, it activates accidentally too often and find I need to close it every time I step away from my desk. Anyway, super glad we have more security in the world, one YubiKey at a time :)

Aaawww, that is one of the most lovely comments I have ever received. Thank you ♥️

Thank you Josh!

Thank you mohameddridi8020! Because this video is like 3 years old… did you still find it relevant?

There's no good OOTB that I know of to do that, at least not for pipelines. Picking how you slice jobs, stages, etc. will let you leverage some of the tooling UI to do that. But I know what you mean. My honest opinion is that I miss my custom Jenkins dashboards, which did exactly that. And because they are custom, it's possible to configure something useful for 25 environments. Most default OOTB tooling falls flat after 3-5 🤷‍♀️

That concept would be the same, figure out the branch name, normalize it into something FQDN friendly and dynamically create the shell/sandbox/container for it. If it's k8s, it's YAML. If it's a cloud provider you can do IaC, but even running CLI commands in bash would work. The hard part IMO is not deploying...but cleaning things up. Anyway I don't have any plans to do Azure DevOps in the near future. But if you look at my GitHub, I have a repo julie-ng/azure-nodejs-demo that has some more advanced ADO pipelines that maybe you can draw inspiration from. (Written in a hurry, i.e. answering comments on the subway)

Just published a video to answer your question. I was tired or in a rush when I recorded it. But let me know it it's helpful :) ruclips.net/video/LBM_-zPZPpU/видео.htmlsi=267EDleIS59OyG6t

@@JulieNgTech Thank you! it was very helpful. I have had a yubi-key for a while, however I predominantly have been using it for 2FA - It looks like I've been underutilizing it. Out of curiosity why did you opt to authenticate GitHub via HTTP using the .netrc file, rather than using an SSH key pair? Thank you again 😊

Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️

For workloads to AKS? I don't have a distinct video teaching. But the latest video is me trying to deploy to AKS using Copilot to write the GitHub workflow pipeline and k8s YAMLs. That might be interesting - or at least entertaining :) For deploying the cluster? Does it have to be Azure DevOps? If it's GitHub Workflows, maybe :) Did you watch the GitHub workflow video? ruclips.net/video/UG4o4lA2eak/видео.htmlsi=V0AFugZT281ORKC9 Asking because I think the pipeline concepts are generally the same. The syntax will be different and GitHub has some extra constructs like the "environment" and federated identities (watch my most recent video about deploying with AI to see).

Thank you :)

Thank you Felipe ♥️ reading your comment confused me for a second... but then I re-watched and laughed myself. Thank you for the reminder my fast brain is snarky 😅 and that I can be myself 😅

Do you have an actual comment on the information shared in this right to the point video?

It wasn't intentional 😬 I'm actually a lowly individual contributor in a giant corporation just trying to squeeze in some content for the wider world 🤗 - not just the Azure customers who can afford the program I work for.

@@JulieNgTech and you did it again "...customers who can afford the program I work for" reinforcing your self worth. You feel the need to reassure your professionalism and express how proud you are of yourself to be a cog on a giant machine. You did it, you are hooked into the big corporate machine. Slow clap. You have that pro look/vibe so don't worry about people not getting from you anything other than the feel they are talking to a successful profesisonal. But don't be pedantic, no need to point out or make reference to what you already emanate. Your mom and dad must be proud of you, you did it... now let us, humans, listen to you without looking at the Dorian gray painting showing us how little we have accomplished in life.

@bandinopla dude you have some serious issues.

Thank you Rafael. Glad you found it useful. ❤️

Hey Jimmy, sorry for super late reply. I copied and pasted the most relevant parts for you here gist.github.com/julie-ng/bc9e0321a02bfb9ab1676232ad49daca May I ask you what do you mean "never worked quite right"? Like an error message?

For perhaps it was cool to see how you generated the change log and kept a variables file embedded with various conditions, overall good job.

Real world pipelines are rarely simple 🫠

Thank you M. 🤗

Managed identities only make sense if you have the context. There is no "user" (in Entra ID context) if the application is acting as a SaaS. It is not possible to do local development with managed identities. There's great reasons to use managed identities. But beware of blanket philosophies and at end of day, security mechanisms are only as good as the people implementing them.

Thank you Victorno, that means a lot to get the feedback. Hope the new less polished format is okay.

It's a NuxtJS app. Haven't deployed it yet. I'm not an App Service fan. Might give ACA a try for this one. But right now I'm far from deploying. Still building it out in my spare time (which is non-existent at work right now)

Btw, we need to catch up again soon. Seeing you so consistent is inspiring 🥰
