Finally: migrate your Team Foundation Server On Premise to Visual Studio Online

The team from OpsHub, the creators of the (commercially available) OpsHub Integration Manager, released the OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration Utility.  This finally introduces a solution to migrate your on premise TFS data to TFS online.

OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration utility helps customers wanting to migrate the most commonly requested data from an on-premises Team Foundation Server to their Visual Studio Online account.  It is designed for basic migration scenarios to migrate history of version control changesets, work items, test cases, and test results.

Features:
  • Easy to use and helps user make intelligent need based decision.
  • One-way migration from on-premises Team Foundation Server to Visual Studio Online.
  • Change history is preserved during migration with original details included in work item revision history and version control changeset comments.
  • Entities supported include :
    • Version Control
    • Work Item Tracking
    • Test Cases
    • Test Results
  • Mapping between on-premises Active Directory accounts & Workgroup user accounts in Team Foundation Server with Microsoft Accounts (formerly known as Windows Live IDs) used in Visual Studio Online.

I’ll have to try it myself, but it certainly looks promising…

.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...
