🎨Check out my new sketch note on Azure Load Testing!
I have learnt a lot over the last month and it's a great tool to test your application's performance under stress to ensure it can handle high user traffic.
#Azure #AzureLoadTesting #StressTesting #CloudComputing #Sketchnote
ALT A sketch note on Azure Load Testing. It consists of 5 boxes, each describing a different aspect of Azure Load Testing. The first box, titled "Why Load Test," emphasizes the importance of testing an application's performance under stress. The second box, titled "Quick Start" highlights the features of Azure Load Testing and how to get started using them. The third box, titled "Cost," describes the cost considerations associated with using Azure Load Testing. The fourth box, titled "Security," focuses on the security features of Azure Load Testing and how to keep your applications safe while testing and the fifth box describes the features.

Backup is very important on @AzureCosmosDB. Did you know there is Continuous Backup?
The #Terraform AzureRM provider yet supports setting the period and defaults to 30 days.
I have written a post that covers how to set 7-day retention in #code.
