Developer: Hi there, as you know we are excited to release the next version that uses Azure AD-based authentication. All the 100 development, testing till prod deployment instances require their own Azure app registrations. Also, require certificates added for authentication to outside services. Certificates can be shared across lower environments.
Install Manager: Oh. It is not possible to have one app registration per application instance. It is not manageable.
Developer: What? Are you not paid for managing instances? Hope you are not doing charity.
Install Manager: Yeah I know you are funny. We cannot manage that many app registrations and certificates.
Developer: What do you mean by managing?
Install Manager: Oh boy, higher environments are not like your toy dev instances. It is serious business. Do you know the certificates are not forever? On that day they expire, we need to upload a new certificate to all your dev and test app registrations.
Developer: Hey, we are in 2023. Don't you guys automate?
Install Manager: We don't do automation here.
Developer: It is not huge code. Just use the simple PowerShell commands that any system admin knows.
Install Manager: Enough boy. We don't have skilled people here. If you want, you code it and give it to us.
Developer: Oh ok..here you go.
