Error while deploying to Windows Azure Devevelopment Fabric

At a customer, after installing the Windows Azure SDK version 1.3 , when we tried to deploy their app on the development fabric, Visual Studio throws us the following exception.

System.ServiceModel.CommunicationObjectFaultedException was unhandled

  Message=The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.

  Source=mscorlib

  StackTrace:

    Server stack trace:

       at System.ServiceModel.Channels.CommunicationObject.Close(TimeSpan timeout)

    Exception rethrown at [0]:

We tried a lot of stuff to get it working. In the end we recreated a new solution from scratch to determine what could be the cause of this issue. Of course everything worked. By comparing the 2 solutions we discovered that our newly created solution was targeting the .NET Framework 4.0 while our existing solution was targeting the .NET Framework 3.5. Changing the target framework from .NET 3.5 to .NET 4.0 solved the problem.

UPDATE We followed some tips in the comments and discovered the root cause of the issue. Because we were using TFS source control the web.config was changed to readonly. Removing the readonly bits solved the problem. I guess that by changing the target framework the readonly attribute was removed by Visual Studio itself.

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

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...
