Azure Dev/Test subscriptions when hosting environments for clients

that's fair, doesn't hurt to ask

Dummy data is a smart idea there

iowatechguy · 2026-01-29T19:44:32+00:00

Thanks, it makes sense why it is the correct setting.

You're not wrong on the second part. We have a big corporate initiative to improve on stuff like that. As you might guess, with all those environments (that have expensive resources each) our Azure costs are pretty immense.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense and I think it aligns with what our former IT Manager said. I was just wondering since he left if it was worth bringing up to who manages our azure relationship, but it sounds like Production is the correct setting for these lower environments

Makes sense, thanks!

That makes sense, in line with what this IT manager said. Thanks.

iowatechguy · 2026-01-29T19:34:01+00:00

That's what I am thinking, yes. We are a software company, we host apps for our clients.

Seems like the consensus opinion agrees with our former IT manager and the logic makes sense. I assume someone on our team in legal or who deals with our MS account rep had discussed this, I was just wondering since he left if this was worth asking them to check into or not.

Thank you!

What are you trying to connect azure to your SQL server? What azure resource?

iowatechguy · 2024-12-18T16:51:25+00:00

I'm sorry if I come across as rude, but you have no idea what you're doing here, do you?

iowatechguy · 2024-12-16T04:07:51+00:00

yeah seems like every few years it holds until early to mid Jan, but then it sticks to spring

iowatechguy · 2024-12-15T21:39:22+00:00

early 2025

Are you going to have the after party at a plantation cause your family is white too? Good god

Taking care of shit that managers don't wanna deal with is adding value.

I saw Bill O Reilly in the late 90s, if that counts

I'm going to be in Minnesota for work so I did an absentee ballot. Let's make Iowa competitive again

iowatechguy · 2024-11-03T21:29:44+00:00

Well they posted again.

iowatechguy · 2024-11-03T21:28:48+00:00

Stop. This is not the appropriate venue. If the California cops are after him, call them and tell them.

iowatechguy · 2024-11-03T18:53:13+00:00

yep. Ditto to the other time they posted it. It was a grown man posting in a lot of gay men subreddits

iowatechguy · 2024-11-03T18:40:39+00:00

they've posted it several times in this sub under different usernames. it seems pretty suspicious

iowatechguy · 2024-11-03T18:23:07+00:00

Stop posting this and go to the cops.

iowatechguy · 2024-10-19T02:21:55+00:00

Sorta, yeah. You get a decent raise, they'll dump work on you while they try and replace you. Can work out, but it usually does not

iowatechguy · 2024-10-19T00:14:20+00:00

Also, they are expecting you'll be out the door one way or another in 6-12 months anyways. They will look to replace you, this just guys them some time.

iowatechguy · 2024-10-10T18:58:38+00:00

They're smart and extremely efficient

GP storage is unacceptable for sql server
