What if you want to make an Azure Blob storage container public so that you can quickly share data with someone – but don’t really want the rest of the world to discover that it’s in place? A simple approach would be to drop a robots.txt file in the directory with the following contents inside:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

This will ensure that the directory isn’t crawled by search engines – which will reduce the risk of exposing the data to unwanted parties.

Do you have a hoodie which you really love because it has a huge mustard stain? That’s probably a good thing. The staff of Nimbo feel the same way. One of the great advantages of working with us as a cloud architect is that we don’t have a formal dress code unless we’re working at a client site or a client is scheduled to visit us. How is that possible? Because our culture is awesome. Oh – and we have a clothing locker at the office which you can store your Sunday best in.

Send us your resume today at info@nimbo.com if you’re really good at .NET and willing to show us some of your thoughts on a whiteboard.
