ARM \ Logic App Deployment with Azure DevOps

Enrico

Microsoft’s documentation refers to Logic Apps as being iPaaS or integration Platform-as-a-Service. The “i” in iPaaS indicates the strength of Logic Apps; not only are Azure systems integrated but external and third-party systems can be included in your Logic Apps, including Twitter, Slack, Office 365, and many others.

GitHub now gives free users unlimited private repositories

Enrico

GitHub is by far the most popular way to build and share software. That said, one weakness of the platform is that it limits who can create private repositories – that is, software projects that aren’t visible to the broader public, and are shared only with a handful of pre-defined collaborators – to paying users. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case, as GitHub today announced it was giving users of its free plan access to unlimited private repositories.
