Microsoft Teams IP Phones and Intune Enrollment

Microsoft Teams provides a growing portfolio of devices that can be used as desk and conference room phones. These IP phones run on Android 8.x or 9.x and are required to be enrolled in Intune. By default, these devices are enrolled as personal devices, which is not ideal as users should not be able to enrol their own personal Android devices.

Azure AD Administrative Units – Preview!

Recently I was approached by a customer regarding a challenge they wanted to solve. How to delegate administrative control of a few users within Azure Active Directory to some lower level administrators? This is a common problem experienced by teams as they move to cloud based directories – a flat structure doesn’t really allow for delegation on business rules. Enter Azure AD Administrative Units; A preview feature enabling delegation & organisation of your cloud directory. For Active Directory Administrators, this will be a quite familiar experience to Organisational Units & delegating permissions. Okta also has a similar functionality, albeit implemented differently.

Making The Most Out Of AKS: Tools to Get Production-Ready

Being of a highly complex nature, container orchestration platforms (such as Kubernetes) benefit from being packed into a managed service. A well-designed managed service eases the load on your DevOps team, while keeping things simplified and structured to encourage an optimised and robust environment. Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) is one such managed service. However, while Microsoft has done what they can to simplify Kubernetes, there is still a lot to architect, build and configure to get this service ready for production. Fortunately, there are a range of supporting products available that can improve your overall experience with productionising AKS.

Early dip into using Azure Sentinel and Fusion

Microsoft have recently announced their cloud-native SEIM tool with built in AI capabilities with a public preview now available. It certainly feels fresh out of the oven as documentation around the product is still lightweight (but being added to at a rapid rate!) and not a lot of collateral just yet around the mechanics of how one should leverage this tool.
