Azure vs AWS for AI applications: what hands-on testing shows about performance, cost and complexity

Introduction

AI is now moving from experiments to real business systems. RAG-based applications and agentic AI are being used to speed up support, improve internal search, generate code, and automate work. The infrastructure choice matters because AI apps are sensitive to latency, rely on several connected services, and often handle valuable or regulated data.

A hands-on test by Principled Technologies compared two approaches to running an AI application using Azure OpenAI. One approach was to host the app on Azure. The other hosted the app on AWS while still calling Azure OpenAI for the model. The results showed clear performance advantages when the application was deployed fully on Azure, especially in the RAG search layer.

Azure Key Vault Transition to RBAC: What You Must Do Before February 2027

0 Comments

Azure Key Vault Is Moving to RBAC – Are You Ready?

Microsoft has announced a major security change affecting Azure Key Vault users. If you rely on Azure Key Vault for secrets, keys, or certificates, action is required well before 27 February 2027 to avoid service disruption.

All Azure Key Vault API versions earlier than 2026-02-01 will be retired on that date. The upcoming 2026-02-01 API, releasing in February 2026, introduces a critical change: Azure role-based access control (RBAC) becomes the default access model for new vaults.

This shift is designed to improve security, consistency, and governance across Azure environments.

What Is Changing?

Under the new API version:

  • Azure RBAC will be the default access model for new Key Vaults
  • Existing vaults will continue using their current access configuration
  • The Azure Portal experience will remain unchanged
  • Legacy access policies will no longer be assumed by default

If your applications, scripts, or infrastructure templates rely on legacy access policies, you may encounter HTTP 403 permission errors unless changes are made.

Why Azure RBAC Matters

Azure RBAC provides:

  • Centralised identity and access management
  • Fine-grained permissions using Azure Active Directory
  • Better auditing and compliance
  • Consistent security across cloud services

This aligns Key Vault security with the rest of the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, reducing the risk of misconfiguration in production environments.

Required Action Before February 2027

To avoid outages or failed deployments, Microsoft strongly recommends one of the following actions:

Option 1: Migrate all Key Vaults to Azure RBAC

This is the preferred and future-proof approach.

Option 2: Explicitly configure legacy access policies

If you must continue using access policies, you must specify them in:

  • Azure CLI
  • PowerShell
  • REST API
  • ARM templates
  • Bicep
  • Terraform

If you do not explicitly configure this, new vaults will default to RBAC, which can break existing automation.

Common Risks If You Delay

  • Application authentication failures
  • CI/CD pipeline errors
  • Production outages due to missing roles
  • Security gaps caused by misconfigured permissions

This is especially risky for businesses running enterprise workloads, DevOps pipelines, or regulated systems.

Final Thoughts

The transition to Azure RBAC is mandatory — a security evolution. Planning early gives you time to test, migrate, and secure your environment without pressure.

If you manage Azure infrastructure today, now is the right time to review your Key Vault strategy.

How to Configure an Additional IP Address

How to Configure an Additional IP Address

Applies to: AlmaLinux 8 & 9, Rocky Linux 8 & 9

For Digitalberg VPS & Dedicated Server Clients

To configure an additional IP address on your Digitalberg server, follow the steps below carefully. This guide assumes you are using NetworkManager.

Step 1: Identify Your Main Network Interface

Run the following command:

ip a

Note the name of the main network interface. This is usually something like eth0.

Step 2: Create a New Configuration File

Each additional IP requires a separate configuration file in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory.

Use this format for the file name:

ifcfg-NETWORK_INTERFACE:ID

For example, for the first alias on eth0, use:

ifcfg-eth0:0

Create the file using:

sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0

Step 3: Add the Configuration

Paste the following lines into the new file, replacing the values with your actual interface and IP:

DEVICE=eth0:0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none  # Use "static" for CentOS
IPADDR=ADDITIONAL_IP
NETMASK=255.255.255.255
BROADCAST=ADDITIONAL_IP

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Restart the Network Interface

Apply the changes with:

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Troubleshooting

  • If the additional IP doesn’t respond after restarting NetworkManager, try rebooting the server.
  • You can also test the configuration by setting the IP manually:
ifconfig eth0:0 ADDITIONAL_IP netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast ADDITIONAL_IP up

Then try pinging the IP from an external device.

Still Not Working?

If you’re still facing issues:

  1. Ensure the IP is correctly routed and assigned to your server from the Digitalberg client panel.
  2. Confirm that your firewall or security rules aren’t blocking traffic to the new IP.
  3. If you’re unsure, feel free to open a support ticket via your Digitalberg dashboard and share the following:
  • Your OS name and version
  • Name of the interface used
  • The full content of the new config file
