Slow connection when connecting to Team Foundation Server from Visual Studio 2010

At a client we were testing our newest line of development machines. After installing Visual Studio 2010 we noticed that the performance was VERY slow when connecting to Team Foundation Server (2010). Performing a get latest of a large solution took several hours(!).

Some investigation showed that it does not appear to be a TFS issue per se but rather something lower in the .NET Framework stack, having to do with automatic proxy discovery through the WPAD protocol.

You can work around the issue by turning off proxy autodiscovery on a per-application basis by using a .exe.config setting.

The .exe.config for Visual Studio is %VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config and it already contains a section in the .exe.config for System.Net. After adding the defaultProxy element, that section would look like this:

   1:  <system.net>
   2:     <defaultProxy enabled="false" />
   3:     <settings>
   4:        <ipv6 enabled="true"/>
   5:     </settings>
   6:  </system.net>


Issue solved!

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...
