Taming Docker with Private NuGet Feeds
Breaking the Local Build Dependency: A Docker ChallengeLet’s be honest - we’ve all been there. You clone a repo, run the Docker build command, and… nothing works. That’s exactly what happened to us recently at Anton Tech when we inherited a Docker setup that assumed all files were already built locally before creating the image. Talk about frustrating. This approach flies in the face of what makes Docker so fantastic in the first place. Aren’t containers supposed to free us from the “but it works on my machine” headache? We thought so too, which is why we rolled up our sleeves and fixed it properly.

The Docker Configuration Anti-Pattern
A DevOps Detective Story“It works on my machine” has a cousin, and it’s called “It works in production but nowhere else.” Here’s a tale of Docker detective work that might save you hours of debugging frustration.

Azure Container Apps and Private Networking
IntroductionRecently, we’ve been working with setups that require private networking while leveraging Azure Container Apps (ACA). Since ACA is public by default and operates on Kubernetes, figuring out how to implement private networking isn’t straightforward—especially given the sparse or perhaps poorly organized documentation. We hope this guide helps you navigate the complexities and get your solution working according to your requirements. This example leverages Azure Bicep, a tool I strongly advocate for and enjoy using on Azure. I’ve also implemented this code in Terraform, so if anyone has questions, I’m more than happy to help.

Initial commit
Welcome to Our Azure Adventure! 🚀Hey there! 👋 Glad you dropped by for the start of something awesome. We’re all about making magic happen with Azure, focusing on the cool stuff: automation, continuous delivery, and using tech to take the load off so we can all dive into more creative endeavors. Why? Because we believe in letting computers handle the heavy lifting (they’re pretty good at it, after all), freeing up us humans to do what we rock at: coming up with clever and creative solutions that make a real difference.
