Once a user requests it through the portal, Approver will receive a notification.
In my previous blog post, I have explained what is Server-Side Encryption (SSE) for Azure Managed Disks. If you didn’t read it yet, please go ahead and read it using this link. In there I have created a new virtual machine with encrypted managed disks. But sometimes we may have to do the same for the existing Azure Managed Disks. In this blog post, I am going to demonstrate how we can encrypt an…
Disk encryption is a basic data protection method for physical & virtual hard disks. It falls under physical data security and it prevents data breaches from stolen hard disks (physical & virtual). By using Azure Disk Encryption, we can encrypt disks within the guest VM. If the guest VM is running Windows OS, Azure Disk Encryption will use BitLocker. If the guest VM is running Linux, it will be…
If you worked with an application that is based on Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC), you may already know that sometimes we have to share virtual disks between servers. Scale-Out File Servers (SoFS), SAP, Remote Desktop Server User Profile Disk, Failover cluster instance (FCI) with SQL Server are some of the examples. If virtual machines are running on VMware, we can do this by enabling…
