A look into App Service: Backup and Restore over Azure Virtual Network
There is a new preview feature that provides a secure way backups are handled for web applications. This feature “App Service: Backup and Restore over Azure Virtual Network”, provides an additional layer of security by allowing backups to be stored in a firewall-protected storage account. The primary advantage I see of this feature is the enhanced security it offers. By storing backups in a firewall-protected storage account, it ensures that your data is safe from unauthorized access. Additionally, this feature allows for custom backups giving more control over what data is backed up and when. There are a few prerequisites needed: The app must be integrated with a virtual network or be in a v3 App Service environment. The storage account must have granted access from the virtual network that the app is integrated with. I am sharing couple of scenarios where this feature could be beneficial: A healthcare company web app that handles sensitive patient data. If there is a requirement to ensure that data is securely backed up and protected from unauthorized access they can back up their web app’s files and configuration data to a firewall-protected storage account, ensuring that their data is secure. In software development projects following DTAP deployment strategy, they have multiple environments such as Development, Testing, Staging, and Production. Each environment is isolated and has its own set of resources. With this feature, the pipelines can back up the web app’s files and configuration data to a firewall-protected storage account in the same virtual network. This aligns with their backup policy and adds an extra layer of security as the backups are not exposed to the public internet. This new preview feature offers enhanced security and flexibility for backing up web app data. It should be part of backup and disaster recovery strategy. It’s worth checking out if you’re looking for a secure and customizable backup solution for your web apps.It's time to 🍂 #FallForIntelligentApps 🍂

How to increase the limits of permissions requested per application - Azure AD signInAudience
I am currently developing an app that allows different operations with Microsoft SharePoint, I am using Microsoft Graph and I have registered the App in Azure AD, and it works fine. But my wish is that the App is public and thousands of people can use it, using their Microsoft account. But reading the documentation of Microsoft Graph I find an article that says that it has Limits of permissions requested by application. The limit indicated by the documentation is a maximum of 400 for a signInAudience= AzureADMultipleOrgs but I want and aspire to have more users, perhaps thousands of users. What do you recommend I do in this case? I want thousands of users to access the app with their Microsoft account and be able to do different activities. In the app when a user logs in, the app requests permission to access API Graph and performs the desired query, this process has to do with "Limits on requested permissions per app"???
