Tech in 5 minutes: Azure Dynamic DNS

Kelvin Tegelaar | 25 May, 2021 | 1 Mins Read

Tech in 5 minutes is a new video series to help managed services providers, or technology specialists get small digestible bites about new technologies, complex scripts, and solutions you could be implementing in your MSP today. I’m fairly anti-tool culture where MSPs get a different tool for each minor inconvenience and focus just on that tool, so I’ll be focussed on modern technologies in the Microsoft stack, but also will cover other external tools if they make a big enough difference.

In just about 5 minutes I’ll try to explain what you can use the technology for, and even include the most basic setup to get it running. I hope you’ll enjoy the video content. This episode is about using an Azure Function, in combination with Azure DNS to create your own alternative Azure Dynamic DNS, and all of this for the low price about 1-2 dollars a month.

Do you have any other technology or script you want me to cover? Let me know! 🙂

We’re Joining #IntuneForMSPs 🎉

Being invited by Microsoft to join a global initiative is a big moment for us, and we want to be clear about why it matters. #IntuneForMSPs is Microsoft’s program to help MSPs deliver Microsoft 365, Intune, and Copilot services at scale, and CIPP is now part of it, bringing the largest MSP community in the channel directly to Microsoft.

CyberDrain CTF returns! (and so do I!)

It’s been since september that I actually picked up a digital pen equivalent and wrote anything down. This was due to me being busy with life but also my side projects like CIPP. I’m trying to get back into the game of scripting and blogging about these scripts. There’s still so much to automate and so little time, right? ;)

Intro

This is a monitoring script requested via Reddit, One of the reddit r/msp users wondered how they can monitor Acronis a little bit easier. I jumped on this because it happened pretty much at the same time that I was asked to speak at the Acronis CyberSummit so it kinda made sense to script this so I have something to demonstrate at my session there.
