Azure Firewall: DNS, DNS proxy and FQDN filtering

Hello, everyone !!!
Did you know that in Azure Firewall it is possible to do custom DNS filtering, using your Azure Firewall as a DNS proxy and even create rules based on FQDN (for non-HTTP/S and non-MSSQL protocols).

Participation in Microsoft Ignite The Tour 2019
Hello everyone!!
On the 12th and 13th, I had the great opportunity to participate in another Microsoft Ignite The Tour in São Paulo. For those who don’t know, this is the largest technical event in Latin America and it is a reproduction of the event that takes place in the United States, bringing together great professionals and technical news from Microsoft products. Thank you Clairo Dorneles for the partnership in this edition.
Creating SPOT VMs in Azure
Hello!
Microsoft has finally launched the SPOT VMs, which we already had in other clouds such as AWS and GCP. These virtual machines provide access to unused computational resources in Azure and also large discounts. However, they cannot be reserved and Azure can interrupt them at any time to use its resources. The SPOT VMs are ideal for:
- Workloads that can support interruptions
- Development and testing
- Applications that do not store state
- Short-lived tasks
- Batch jobs
Creating Proximity Positioning Groups
Hello guys,
Do you know about Proximity Placement Groups in Azure and what they are used for? With proximity groups, you can place your Virtual Machines as close as possible, thus achieving the best possible latency. These proximity groups are a logical grouping to ensure that computational resources are physically located close to each other.
Participation in the CloudUp event 2019
Yesterday (10/11/2019) I had the great pleasure of speaking with my friend Clairo Dorneles, voluntarily at the CloudUp event – 3rd Edition. We simulated a live threat and automated response through Azure Sentinel, Microsoft’s SIEM tool. THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this great event and especially to the organizers Erik Filippini and Felipe Santos for the invitation.
Creating 2nd Generation VMs in Azure.
On the last day of 11/04/2019, Microsoft finally made second-generation VMs generally available, which we had on our local Hyper-v since Windows Server 2012 R2. They have a new architecture based on UEFI that is different from the BIOS-based architecture of generation 1. With these VMs, according to Microsoft, you will be able to:
- Create larger VMs (up to 12 TBs).
- Provision OS disk sizes that exceed 2 TBs.
Script to Automate Backup Vault Deployment and a Protection Policy in Azure.
Guys, I developed a PowerShell script to deploy a backup vault and a standard protection policy for your VMs in Azure. Through it, it is much faster and more practical to configure your backup infrastructure.

Talk at Global Azure BOOTCAMP 2019!!!
Good evening!! Last Saturday (27/04/2019) I had the great opportunity to speak with my friend Deivid Soares, voluntarily at Global Azure BOOTCAMP 2019. In this talk we explained and demonstrated the concept of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Azure DevOps.
