Visual Studio 2013: Where is the Identity and Access tool?

In Visual Studio 2012, you had the Identity and Access tool which gave you an easy way to configure your WIF configuration and integrate with an existing STS.

After installing Visual Studio 2013, I started looking on the Visual Studio Gallery for a new version of the tool. But no luck, only a VS 2012 version was available Bedroefde emoticon. And it seems that a version for Visual Studio 2013 will never appear.

Vittorio  Bertocci shared the following information:

In VS2013 Microsoft added support for claims-based identity directly into the ASP.NET project creation experience (see http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2013/06/26/improved-windows-azure-active-directory-integration-with-asp-net-amp-visual-studio.aspx ), hence there are no plans of porting the Identity and Access tool to VS2013. We are aware of the fact that as of today the feature set of the two approaches are not 100% equivalent. VS2012 and VS2013 work well side by side, if you depend on functionality only available on the Identity & Access tool we recommend you keep both available until functional parity is reached (see below).

Here there are some comments on the main differences:

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
