🚀 New Project — 8 Days of Azure PaaS

I’ve kicked off a learn-in-public series exploring Microsoft Azure’s Platform as a Service.

I’ve kicked off a new project: 8 Days of Azure PaaS 🎉

Over the next 8 days, I’ll be refreshing and documenting my knowledge of Microsoft Azure’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings. Each day I’ll dive into a new component — App Services, Functions, SQL Database, AKS, Logic Apps, and more — and add my notes to a living guide page.

💡 This is a learn-in-public project. I’m sharing the journey openly — the good, the confusing, and the “aha!” moments. I will also be sharing links to the learning sources that I reviewed along the way.

👉 Check out Day 1 here

🔹 Why I’m Doing This

In a recent conversation I realized I’ve been more focused on MSP mindset, and pratice, IT security, RMM tools and PSA tools — and I needed a refresher on Azure’s PaaS side. Its great to to be reminded that I must make sure to refresh on those things I have forgotten or maybe have not used in a while.
This project is how I’m filling that gap while keeping myself accountable.

🔹 What’s Coming Up

  • Day 1 – What is PaaS? (vs IaaS & SaaS) ✅
  • Day 2 – Azure App Services
  • Day 3 – Azure Functions
  • Day 4 – Azure SQL Database
  • Day 5 – Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
  • Day 6 – Logic Apps & Event Grid
  • Day 7 – App Service Plans & Scaling
  • Day 8 – Security & Identity in PaaS

Follow along as I update the guide daily — and if you’ve got tips, real-world examples, or lessons learned with Azure PaaS, I’d love to hear them.

⚠️ Security Advisory: N-able N-central on CISA KEV — CVE-2025-8875 (insecure deserialization) & CVE-2025-8876 (command injection). Active exploitation reported. Update to 2025.3.1 Or install 2024.6 HF2 Enforce MFA for Admins Share client notice MSPs, Take Note: When Your Core Tool Is in the Crosshairs The N-central news shows how fast a central platform can become a central risk. In the MSP world, your RMM/central platform is the heartbeat of patching, monitoring, and response. When it lands on the KEV list, it’s not just a patch—it’s an operational fire drill: validate exposure, confirm versions, brief staff, notify clients, and verify compensating controls. Why It Hurts the MSP Space Trust shockwave: Headlines trigger client anxiety. Even fully patched orgs get the “Are we safe?” calls. Operational drag: War-room time: scanning, change w...
