Feed: What's New. Previously, you could only restrict Run Command access based on instance IDs, which required manual permission updates as your environment scaled up or down.

Now, you will see a warning if these policy elements (actions, resources, and conditions) defined in an IAM policy do not match. With this update, policy summaries make it easy to detect if a policy ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Stuart Kwan. A common challenge in cloud development is managing the credentials used to authenticate to cloud services.
