Azure Change Analysis enhances the visibility of changes made to Azure resources. It does this by tracking these changes at the subscription level and recording them in the Azure Resource Graph's resourceschanges table.

As of March 2024, change tracking now also includes detailed information about the principal that initiated the change, the client type (e.g. Azure Portal, Azure CLI, ARM template), and the operation which resulted in the change (e.g. Microsoft.Web/sites/write). This enhancement means you no longer need to consult Azure activity logs separately to understand who initiated a change and what action they performed. Everything is conveniently available within th

Here is how you can emulate Azure managed identity on your local system by running an instance metadata service identity endpoint and simulating the token API to return an access token from Azure CLI. You can use this for example to log into SQL Server Management studio using your Azure CLI identity, or locally test code that uses the "Azure only" [ManagedIdentityCredential](https://learn

This PowerShell script streams Application Insights live metric traces to your local system and displays them in a PowerShell grid view. This is useful since the Azure Portal trace viewing experience is somewhat limited.

Warning

This script uses undocumented functionality. Exercise caution when running any scripts against your infrastructure.

To use:

1. Ensure you are logged in using Azure CLI and have selected the relevant subscription.
2. Run the script in a PowerShell terminal (tested only with PowerShell 7.3).
3. Select the relevant Application Insights resource from the first grid view. This lists all Application Insights resources in the Azure CL

This script retrieves published Azure location information and transforms it into GeoJSON format, with Point features indicating Azure regions and LineString features indicating links between paired regions.
