With Scheduled AutoScale, you can respond before anything happens.
We had a standalone MySQL server that was running in production. When the workload used to increase/decrease, we had to manually increase/decrease the SKU tier. The process seemed hectic and time-consuming. That’s why we thought of autoscaling the MySQL server which led to better performance of the MySQL server and saved our time.
In this blog, I have explained how to set up an Azure automation account, create a runbook, publish a runbook, scheduling, etc.

Introduction
This is a quick blog on how we can use the TruffleHog utility in our Jenkins pipeline to search for the secrets, passwords, sensitive keys which may have been accidentally committed in our repositories.
