Cloud Rendering Adobe After Effects Video with Windows Docker Container

Since I run Newbie Homemade Mashup Lab, I always have video render needs for After Effects. When there are many videos, my personal computer will spend a lot of time rendering them. During this time, I cannot do anything else. So, I came up with the idea of Cloud Rendering. This article will guide you to build your own After Effects Docker image and ultimately try rendering on Azure App Service.

Azure Lab 01: Hide Your Public Connection From PaaS To Storage Account

Using PaaS resources in Azure brings convenience to developers such as saving times, concentrating on coding, and etc. However, there is a paradox which convenience and secure might never on the same direction.

Your customers might challenging you by exposing the inter-connection among resources under public networks. For example, You builded a Function App for tracking customers’ information and storing them in to a Blob container (from a Storage Account). Meanwhile, connections invoked by that function uses public domain name to the container, which means those requests might have a great opportunity routing outside.

For security purpose such as ISO/IEC 27001, you may want your resources to co-op privately, however, detail network settings among PaaS services are extreamly hard to find (at least for me, a pure newbie). So this article is my research for connecting PaaS devices such as Azure Function App to a Blob container under private network (and cross region).

Here is the outline, I will inreoduce 2 methods: Service Endpoints and Private Endpoints, help you to protect your connection.
