There are a few instances where you want to run SQL Server on macOS and interact with it from a windows VM. As someone that works within the world of SQL Server/Azure SQL, the use of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) comes to mind immediately - for the tasks you can’t complete in Azure Data Studio on macOS directly. Another adjacent (and generally unfortunate scenario) is when work with .NET Framework is required, and for that, you need Windows. This article will step through the network information needed to connect from a Windows VM on macOS to a SQL Server container.
When building applications on Azure SQL, one of the most flexible ways to send data from your database to other systems is to use Azure Functions. Azure Functions are serverless functions that can be triggered by a variety of events, including HTTP requests, timers, and Azure SQL Database changes. In this article, we will discuss how to send data from an Azure SQL Database to an FTP server and API endpoints using Azure Functions. The complete sample code for this article is available on GitHub.

The Georgia Tech online masters of science in computer science has been a groundbreaking endeavour to bring an MS CS program to students at a massive scale.
In five years, the program has received over 25,000 applications and enrolled more than 10,000 students (including those who have graduated), all working their way toward the same Georgia Tech M.S. in Computer Science as their on-campus counterparts. - https://omscs.gatech.edu/explore-oms-cs
Despite the use of online communities, legions of teaching assistants, and other techniques to expand the reach of a traditional masters of science program to thousands of students, there are still opportunities for students to be deeply engaged with university resources. One of these categories of opportunities is research and independent projects, which I was fortunate to experience in three ways during my time in the program.
The online Masters of Computer Science program at Georgia Tech is completely online and designed for working, part-time students. I applied to OMSCS in 2015 when I was concerned about what I saw as a plateau ahead in my career. At the time I worked for a smaller company doing a little bit of everything in technology and development. With a MS in chemistry and a minor in computer science under my belt I was confident that I would be able to succeed in OMSCS and it would contribute to my part of my aspiration to be a better developer and work as software engineer in the future.
I received the decision notification email while driving from Missouri back home to Minnesota. It was unpleasantly cold and windy at a gas station in Iowa as I navigated the applicant portal from my iPhone. Also relatively unpleasant was the news that I had not been accepted to OMSCS.
The nuts and bolts of this post is about sending an HTTP POST request in an Azure Logic App that utilizes the multipart/form-data content type. I don’t run into it often, but when I do, I’m sure glad I figured out how to do more than application/json request bodies in Logic Apps. The use case I came across this week for multipart/form-data body was for the Mailgun API.
