Azure Course Blueprints
Please refer to the updated document now in Azure Architecture Blog https://aka.ms/courseblueprint Overview The Course Blueprint is a comprehensive visual guide to the Azure ecosystem, integrating all the resources, tools, structures, and connections covered in the course into one inclusive diagram. It enables students to map out and understand the elements they've studied, providing a clear picture of their place within the larger Azure ecosystem. It serves as a 1:1 representation of all the topics officially covered in the instructor-led training. Links: Each icon in the blueprint has a hyperlink to the pertinent document in the learning path on Learn. Layers: You have the capability to filter layers to concentrate on segments of the course by modules. I.E.: Just day 1 of AZ-104, using filters in Visio and selecting modules 1-3 Enhanced Integration: The Visio Template+ for expert courses such as SC-100 and AZ-305 now features an additional layer that allows you to compare SC-100, AZ-500, and SC-300 within the same diagram. Similarly, you can compare any combination of AZ-305, AZ-204, AZ-700, and AZ-104 to identify differences and study gaps. Since SC-300 and AZ-500 are potential prerequisites for SC-100, and AZ-204 or AZ-104 for AZ-305, this comparison is particularly useful for understanding the extra knowledge or skills required to advance to the next level. Advantages for Students Defined Goals: The blueprint presents learners with a clear vision of what they are expected to master and achieve by the course’s end. Focused Learning: By spotlighting the course content and learning targets, it steers learners’ efforts towards essential areas, leading to more productive learning. Progress Tracking: The blueprint allows learners to track their advancement and assess their command of the course material. New Feature: A comprehensive list of topics for each slide deck is now available in a downloadable .xlsx file. Each entry includes a link to Learn and its dependencies.

Azure Databricks - SQL query - Configuration not available
I spun up a FINO's Legend Studio instance locally, and I was able to establish a connectivity between the application and my Azure Databricks resource. However, when I run a SQL query from Legend Studio, which is supposed to execute on Databricks, I get a "Configuration legend_databricks_http_path is not available" error from Databricks: By going to the "Query History" on Azure Databricks, I can confirm Legend Studio is reaching Databricks, but this is responding with the error mentioned above. The "See error" button doesn't provide any additional error details. Is anyone familiar with the "Configuration is not available" type of error in Azure Databricks SQL queries?
Can't add a custom Background in a Teams call in AVD
Hi, When we use Teams directly on our laptops, we get the option under Video Effects and Settings, 'add new', but in AVD, the option is not there on any call. We want to put our company logo behind meetings. We use the latest Slimcore teams version and Windows App. Any advice on why it doesn't work, or a work around? Thanks
Cannot see any events in Event Hub Data Explorer
Hi, I am learning Azure Event Hub. I had created an Event Hub Namespace and Event Hub. I am using Data Explorer to send some events. But whenever I click View Events button nothing is showing. I am using admin account so I guess there should be no access related issue. I am sending events through Send events button. Once the event send notification is received I click View events button. I have only default Consumer group. I connected this Event Hub to MS Fabric Event Stream and data was showing there. Would like any suggestions to solve this issue or any steps to try out.Azure Firewall has no capacity to maintain source IP on outbound traffic?
Hello all, My use case: To have multiple static public IP addresses attached to Azure Firewall with SNAT rules configured so that the public IP isn't just randomly selected. We have multiple services that have whitelisting configured for specific public load balancer IPs and now we are trying to move them behind Azure Firewall. Since there is whitelisting on the destination, the public IP being randomly selected won't work. My resources: One instance of premium SKU Azure Firewall. Hub and spoke architecture. Route tables being used to force traffic through Firewall (routed to private IP of firewall) The research I have conducted: I have tried absolutely everything I can think of before coming to this forum and from what I can tell the 4 ways of outbound connectivity provided by Azure are: Default outbound connectivity. Against best practice to do this and won't work since its routing through a virtual appliance (firewall) Associate a NAT gateway to a subnet. This won't work since we have only one instance of Azure Firewall and the requirement for multiple public IPs to be used. Assign a public IP to a virtual machine. Not applicable, sitting in backend pool of a load balancer, single public IP to be used for multiple member servers. Using the frontend IP address(es) of a load balancer for outbound via outbound rules. Needs to go through the firewall, impossible unless we can somehow integrate the firewall between the load balancer and the backend pool? Expanding more on the load balancer scenario, I ran across this documentation in Microsoft Learn. This looks great to tackle the asymmetric routing issue, however, we are only interested in maintaining the source IP for outbound traffic, this would again just use the firewalls public IP for outbound traffic and again randomly select it. Consensus: It seems bizarre to me that Azure has no capacity for static SNAT configuration like most firewalls do. I would have thought a large amount of use cases would require this function. Am I missing something? Is there another workaround? Or is Azure just behind the 8ball with networking. Thanks heaps in advance for any help :) Much Appreciated, usernameone101
