Utilizing Azure Key vault with Private link in DevOps
Azure Key Vault is a cloud service that provides secure storage and access to secrets such as API keys, passwords, certificates, or cryptographic keys. To enhance security and disable public access, Azure Key Vault can be integrated with Private Endpoint powered by Azure Private Link. This private endpoint uses a private IP address from your VNet and brings the service into your VNet, effectively eliminating exposure from the public Internet by traversing traffic between your virtual network and the service over the Microsoft backbone network.Azure OpenAI GPT model to review Pull Requests for Azure DevOps
In recent months, the use of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models for natural language processing (NLP) has gained significant traction. GPT models, which are based on the Transformer architecture, can generate text from arbitrary sources of input data and can be trained to identify errors and detect anomalies in text. As such, GPT models are increasingly being used for a variety of applications, ranging from natural language understanding to text summarization and question-answering. In the software development world, developers use pull requests to submit proposed changes to a codebase. However, reviews by other developers can sometimes take a long time and not accurate, and in some cases, these reviews can introduce new bugs and issues. In order to reduce this risk, During my research I found the integration of GPT models is possible and we can add Azure OpenAI service as pull request reviewers for Azure Pipelines service. The GPT models are trained on developer codebases and are able to detect potential coding issues such as typos, syntax errors, style inconsistencies and code smells. In addition, they can also assess code structure and suggest improvements to the overall code quality. Once the GPT models have been trained, they can be integrated into the Azure Pipelines service so that they can automatically review pull requests and provide feedback. This helps to reduce the time taken for code reviews, as well as reduce the likelihood of introducing bugs and issues.Restricting Azure Cognitive Search & Azure OpenAI Output with Azure Entra Security Groups
Azure Cognitive Search & OpenAI Output can be effectively restricted with the help of Azure Entra Security Groups. With Azure Entra Security Groups, organizations can limit access to an Azure search instance or an OpenAI Output instance based on group membership of the user. This ensures that users only have access to the data within the scope of their job responsibilities. Azure Entra Security Groups also provide advanced authentication and authorization services for Azure services, offering additional layers of security for organizations to protect their data.Unlocking the Power of Open AI – Azure DevOps Backlogs from Images/PDFs
In today's digital world, the need to convert images and PDFs to text is becoming increasingly important. However, the process of manually transcribing images and PDFs can be time-consuming and error-prone. Fortunately, there is a better way. With the Azure Open AI service, you can easily and quickly convert images and PDFs to text.OpenAI’s GPT-3 to Triage Azure DevOps Bugs
OpenAI’s GPT-3 is a game-changer in the bug hunting industry. Its ability to generate natural language content with high accuracy and coherence makes it an invaluable tool for identifying potential security vulnerabilities in software applications. In this article, I will explain how you can implement an automation solution to triage a bug and best practices in Azure DevOps.
