Creating An API

Creating The Service

There are numerous methods to develop a service, including REST or possibly gRPC. REST, which stands for REpresentational State Transfer, is essentially a method for computers to communicate with one another using HTTP. In REST, various HTTP verbs are utilized for distinct operations. It could look something like this:

URI

Verb

Action

/BlogPosts

Get

Gets a list of blog posts

/BlogPosts

Post

Creates a new blog post

/BlogPosts/{id}

Get

Gets a blogpost with a specific ID

/BlogPosts/{id}

Put

Replaces a blogpost

/BlogPosts/{id}

Patch

Updates a blogpost

/BlogPosts/{id}

Delete

Deletes a blogpost

 

This is what we are going to implement for tags, categories, and blog posts. Since the API determines if the post should be created, we will only implement the Put (replace) since we cannot ascertain whether we are creating new data or updating existing data. The API will exclusively be utilized by Blazor WebAssembly, thus we will develop the API within the MyBlogWebAssembly.Server project.

Adding Database Access

Execute the following steps to provide database access:

  • In the MyBlogWebAssembly.Server project, open Startup.cs.

  • Add a reference to the MyBlog.Data project by right-clicking Dependencies beneath the MyBlogWebAssembly.Server project and selecting Add project reference.

  • Check MyBlog.Data and click Ok.

  • Add namespaces.

We have now incorporated access to the classes from the MyBlog.Data project.

We have set it up so that when we request an instance of IMyBlogApi, we receive an instance of the MyBlogApiServerSide class. This is due to our server-side context, allowing the API to connect directly to the database.

Conclusion

Starting process of creating an API is discussed.

How AMI Store & Restore Works?

By Ashwin Venugopal -

  CreateStoreImageTask The CreateStoreImageTask API stores an AMI as a single object in an S3 bucket. The API initiates a task that collects all the data from the AMI and its associated snapshots, subsequently using an S3 multipart upload to store this data in an S3 object. It gathers all elements of the AMI, including most of the non-Region-specific metadata and all EBS snapshots included in the AMI, and consolidates them into a single object in S3. During the upload process, the data is compressed to minimize the space utilized in S3, which means that the S3 object could be smaller than the total sizes of the snapshots in the AMI. If the account making this API call has access to AMI and snapshot tags, they will be retained. The S3 object shares the same ID as the AMI, except it has a .bin extension. Additionally, the S3 metadata tags for the object include the AMI name, AMI description, AMI registration date, AMI owner account, and a timestamp indicating when the store operation...

Create A Store Image Task

By Ashwin Venugopal -

  Introduction When you save an AMI in an S3 bucket, a task for storing the image is initiated. This store image task allows you to track the progress and result of the procedure. Securing your AMIs It is crucial to verify that the S3 bucket is set up with adequate security to protect the content of the AMI and that this security is upheld for the entire duration that the AMI objects are stored in the bucket. If this cannot be achieved, it is advisable to refrain from using these APIs. Make sure that public access to the S3 bucket is prohibited. It is suggested to activate Server-side encryption for the S3 buckets where you keep the AMIs, even though it’s not mandatory. When AMI snapshots are transferred to the S3 object, they are sent over TLS connections. It is possible to save AMIs that contain encrypted snapshots; however, the snapshots will be decrypted during the storing process.

Information Protection Scanner: Resolve Issues with Information Protection Scanner Deployment

  About If you are experiencing problems with the Microsoft Purview Information Protection scanner, check the health of your deployment by utilizing the Start-ScannerDiagnosticsPowerShell cmdlet to start the scanner diagnostic tool. The diagnostics tool checks the following details and then creates a log files with the results: Whether the database is up to date. Whether network URLs are accessible. Whether there's a valid authentication token and policy can be acquired. Whether the profile is defined in the Azure portal. Whether offline/online configuration exists and can be acquired. Whether the rules configured are valid.  The Start-ScannerDiagnostics command does not perform a comprehensive check of prerequisites. If you encounter problems with the scanner, you need to verify that your system meets the scanner's requirements, and that your scanner's configuration and installation are finished.  Verify Scanning Details Per Scanner Node and Repository Run the Get-ScanSt...
