Team Foundation Server 2012: Request feedback remains disabled

For a customer we are experimenting with the Microsoft Feedback Client.

“Microsoft Feedback Client for TFS can help your development team gather both solicited and unsolicited feedback about your software projects from your customers and stakeholders.It allows you to launch an application, capture your interaction with it as video and capture your verbal or type-written comments as well. Your feedback is stored in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 to support traceability.”

The easiest way to get started is to open the Web Access for a TFS project. On the Home page click on Request feedback under Activities:

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...
