Description
Learn Azure Logicapps to widen your cloud skills and,•Automate repeated or complex tasks.•Set yourself apart from your peers and take a step forward in your career.•For people with limited Programming/Scripting knowledge.•Easy to use GUI development interface.•Low code/No code development.•Easy integration with other systems and enterprise components.In this course, we learn Azure Logic App by hands on work and building a useful solution. At the end of the course, you will have a working solution for a common real world problem for any Azure enterprise customer.We build a Logic App automation to Alert on App Registrations / Service Principal secret expiry.App Registrations / Service Principal are artefacts in Azure Entra ID/Azure AD. It is commonly used in every organzation. Failure to renew secrets can lead to application failures and production downtime.This course will be part of a series which tackles common use cases using Logic App.This course cover the basic logic app building blocks to get you started.What are the prerequisites:•A basic knowledge of Azure services is recommended.•Access to Azure Portal.•A client ID and secret with permission to read app registrations in Azure AD/Entra ID•An Office 365 account (if you need an operational email alert)
