Project Orleans error: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

I’m currently experimenting with Orleans and trying to compare it with my experiences using Akka.NET and the Azure Service Fabric actors. So far I like the experience although I encountered some issues in the beginning.

I got my first problem when trying the “hello world” of actor model examples; https://dotnet.github.io/orleans/Tutorials/My-First-Orleans-Application.html. After following the tutorial, my Orleans host blew up with the following exception:

ERROR starting Orleans silo name=[MyMachineName] Exception=

at Orleans.Runtime.Silo..ctor(String name, SiloType siloType, ClusterConfiguration config)
at Orleans.Runtime.Host.SiloHost.InitializeOrleansSilo()

Whoops! Not a great start for my first experience with Orleans. A netstat –o brought some insight into the root cause of this issue. The default port used by Orleans(port 22222) was already in use.  I removed the tool(RedGate Ants Profiler in my case) that was using the port and I was good to go!

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...
