This is more of a system integration question, but I'm wondering if Workday EIB has the capability to export csv's to Azure Blobs (i.e. on a cadence).
Currently, I see that supported delivery methods are: Workday attachment, FTP, HTTP/SSL, FTP/SSL, FTP, Email, Amazon simple storage service
Azure Blob isn't explicitly listed as a supported delivery method, so I'm thinking not?
No, EIB can't do that. You will need to develop something.
With an external integration, you get the Workday data from a RAAS (report-as-a-service) and then use the Azure BLOB Service REST API to send your data.
Or you can develop a Workday Studio Integration instead to do everything in the Workday tenant.
Azure Blob storage now supports incoming SFTP endpoint, so you should be able to integrate directly from EIB with it now.

I am working in banking sector and we have different portals for managing employee information, performance etc. I want to send push notification in mobile app from our asp.net web service when a new event (e.g. a Line Manager has to approve any pending request) occurs. How can I send notification to mobile app from our servers(where the web service has been deployed)? We don't have rights to place employee data on cloud servers or cloud databases.
Hopefully this is your request:
We don't have rights to place employee data on cloud servers or cloud
databases.
And not this:
Send Push Notification In Xamarin Forms Without Firebase
As they are entirely different. If you want to send data to Android devices you need to use Firebase for that just like you need to use Apple's servers for iOS devices. However you don't need to have any database or store data on them.
You can use PushSharp nuget if you want to minimize 3rd party server usage or some other similar solution.
Just for the record using Firebase (or other services like Azure) to send push notifications doesn't require you to place employee data on cloud servers either. Firebase and other solutions contain range of services that can be used independently and it seems that you consider them as all or nothing solution.
Our customer using Alibaba cloud to deploy their application. They rented dozens of VMs/instances. We are asked to using API to get instance configuration (i.e. number of core, memory, network bandwidth, SSD, disk type, zone and etc) by program. We have found Ali open APIs in github./1/
Could someone point out which exact API could we call to get instance configuration?
/1/ https://github.com/aliyun/aliyun-openapi-java-sdk/
You can use the DescribeInstanceAttribute API. I feel it's very helpful to use the APIExplorer to debug APIs. You don't need to install SDKs, CLIs, write any code, and configure access keys etc. Just login your Alibaba Cloud account, fill in some inputs, and click the Send Request. Everything is there!
If i wish to create a StorageController to generate the SAS tokens inorder to make the Azure File Syncing work with Xamarin forms, is that possible ? All the documentation that I have seen only mention a way to do it in ASP.NET.
Reference :
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/file-management-with-azure-mobile-apps/
It seems I can create a SAS token in Node js, but how do I tie it up the /table endpoint ?
http://azure.github.io/azure-storage-node/
There is significant work involved in creating the equivalent of a StorageController for the Node.js backend. You could create a simple custom API endpoint that generates SAS tokens and consume those from your client application, i.e. interacting directly with Azure Storage rather than using the file sync plugin for Azure Mobile Apps.
I was looking at Azure SDK for ruby and after comparing the API available there with the list of Azure's services, I noticed that the SDK does not have API for achieving many of the tasks related to various services. Are the API mentioned on SDK's github homepage the only API available ?
Eg: It has API to create a virtual machine, but no API to add DNS server.
The SDK has API to create Virtual network which can take params or XML file.
I also want to know whether we can configure other services using XML files and if yes, where can I find the XML data structure to configure those services.
The azure documentation is huge and I am unable to find proper reference for the XML data structure and list of services which can be configured using Ruby SDK.
FYI : I am on Ubuntu machine and cannot use Azure's other tools which are specific to only Windows.
I wrote an Azure API client (that despite my best efforts, has remained closed source) in ruby that my company uses, and I can relate to how much of a beast their API can be. You will find the best resources here, which will document all of the XML that can be configured. It might also be relevant to note that the official cross platform SDK is actually their Node.js client, which is available at github, which will definitely work on Ubuntu, better than the Ruby SDK.
Following is the list of services configurable by the azure-sdk-for-ruby
Base Management Service (creating affinity group, listing locations)
Cloud Service
Storage Management Service (Blob, Queue, Table)
Service Bus Service (Queue, Topic) - Could not make it work.
SQL Database Management Service
Virtual Machine Management Service
Virtual Image & Disk Management Service
Virtual Network Management Service
I have created a quick reference of available methods and short description of various Azure entities.
I am planning on a photo app, and want to know how I could upload/ download images from windows phone 7 to the blob storage as well as access the table storage. I don't mind placing the access key on the application, since the app is planned to be distributed internally only.
Since the Azure API is not available can somebody tell me how I can do the same ?
You can:
use Azure BLOB API directly (including key on the phone)
Abstract Blob operations behind a server-side web service
I also recommend to check out article by Steve Marx on accessing Azure Blob from Silverlight. It covers a wide range of topics including Shared Access Signatures and how to actually work with Azure Blob API.
I would not place the Access key into any client device. You should think about creating a webservice which can handle the upload for you. That way your phone has not to know about the Azure API.
Try to decouple your Phone 7 application from the backend implementation. Windows Phone 7 supports XNA and Silverlight applications so I guess you're going for the latter. That implies that you need to connect to a service anyway. I would suggest that you put all the backend and Azure specific logic behind a WCF service and call that from within your application.
