Unity 2.0

With the release of the beta of Unity 2.0, I took a quick look at the new/changed features.

Things I’ve noticed:

  • The objectbuilder is gone: The dependency on the ObjectBuilder2 assembly is removed and most of the code is now incorporated in the core assembly.
  •  Configuration support: Unity configuration can be done using the Enterprise Library configuration tool.
  • IsRegistered extension method: Checks if a type is already registered in the container. Can be useful in some situations where you want to avoid multiple registrations overriding each other.
  • Registrations collection: Similar to the diagnostics feature in StructureMap, you can now inspect the available registrations.
  • New lifetime managers: HierarchicalLifetimeManager and PerResolveLifetimeManager are added.

In a future post I look into more detail in some of this features. I especially hope to find some improvements in passing arguments when resolving types.

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...

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities.  DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks. Instead of using different websites you get a fully offline experience offering help for a large list of tasks. Many tools are available.
