This issue originated from the fact that git by default uses the “Linux” crypto backend.
However, there is a simple solution, from the beginning of version Git on Windows 2.14, you can configure Git to use SChannel. This is a built-in Windows networking layer as the crypto backend. In other words, the Windows networking layer will be used with the Windows certificate storage mechanism and you are not required to configure the curl CA storage mechanism.
Fortunately, you don’t have to change anything in your Windows environment, just run the following Git command: “git config –global http.sslbackend schannel”.
Let me know if that helped with your problem and keep me in the loop if you had a similar problem.
Let’s focus on answering the main question of this post. And some of you may suspect that we will allude to Azure Arc, right?
Microsoft Azure Arc
Yes, with the Microsoft Azure Arc, you can manage servers running on-premises, at the edge, and in multi-cloud environments. And with the latest updates, now, you also get SSH access to your Linux and Windows Servers running anywhere using Azure Arc-enabled servers.
Direct Network Connectivity
Even though direct network connectivity (like SSH connection into the server) can be a challenge in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, Azure Arc-enabled servers enable this unique capability for you.
What are the Helpful References?
Well, let me mention the following important three references that will get you going in your Azure Arc journey, ok?
I hope this provides you with a good overview and resources of how you can manage and SSH access your Linux and Windows Servers anywhere using Azure Arc. And if you feel like you got a question, please, feel free to leave a comment on my LinkedIn post.

I was prompted to update my CLI and wanted to share this easy experience with everyone.
There is an easy straightforward process to check & update your favourite Azure CLI in a few minutes without leaving the command line tool of your choice.
There are 2 commands that you would ever need going forward, assuming that your version of CLI is already “2.x”.
Check your az cli version
Just run the az version --help command first.
Check the AZ CLI version
Running update on AZ CLI
Next, run the az upgrade command and press key Y when prompted to continue.
Upgrade the AZ CLI version
And finally, check the updated version and its extensions if needed.
Verify upraded version and Bicep
In case your AZ CLI is up to date, you could always run az bicep upgrade command and get the job done.
Stay tuned for more Azure automation & Security related posts.
There might be some technical knowledge gaps when we start to learn a new cloud service or its features. One way to minimize it – is to study for a certification exam or read a book that has a more holistic approach into the technology.
Well, while not all of you might agree with this approach of reading the book, certain books can open a completely new perspective into your vision. Of course, there is a risk that over-time, the cloud services described in the book might be phased out, merged or re-named (like, Azure Data Warehouse service got evolution into Azure Synapse Analytics) into some other services.
In addition, hands-on learning is the recommended approach to masterย your knowledge and get technical depth into the subject matter area.
Anyway, no matter what approach works best for you, the “Azure Strategy and Implementation Guide 4th Edition” is an essential handbook to cloud transformation with Azure that you don’t want to miss out on.
As it is a common case in technology, there are many different scenarios for running your workloads on Azure to meet your company’s business needs. This book puts renewed emphasis on the importance of using design principles and how crucial planning is – when moving resources to Azure.
The authors of the book use the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework, and recommend to adopting best practices to improve the quality of your workloads in the cloud.
That said, let’s have a look into the chapters:
โ๏ธ Introduction to Azure โ๏ธ Automation and governance in Azure โ๏ธ Modernizing with hybrid cloud and multicloud โ๏ธ Cloud migration: Planning, implementation, and best practices โ๏ธ Enabling secure, remote work with Microsoft Azure AD and WVD โ๏ธ Security fundamentals to help protect against cybercrime โ๏ธ Offers, support, resources, and tips to optimize cost in Azure
I hope those listing sparkled your interest to read the book. Well, without any overdue check the download link and put it on your device.
Hopefully, you could get solid Azure cloud understanding from this book and lighten-up your cloud transformation journey.
