Azure: Cloud services are not available in this subscription

I encountered a strange issue when using the Azure Cloud Services(Web and worker roles). When I tried to publish the project to Azure using Visual Studio, I couldn’t continue after selecting the Azure subscription I wanted to deploy to. Instead I got the following error message:

Cloud services are not available in this subscription

The error is caused because the Cloud Services still use the old deployment model that is based on Azure Service Management (ASM). To deploy an ASM based component to Azure you need to be ‘co-admin’ for the subscription. Our subscription administrator made me ‘Owner’ on the new portal but this role only has impact on the new ARM based resources.

So I had to ask our subscription admin to login to the old portal(https://manage.windowsazure.com) and make me co-administrator:

  • Login to the old portal
  • Click on Settings –> Administrators
  • Click on the Add button at the bottom
  • Enter the co-admin email address and click on the OK button.

After I got the confirmation from our subscription administrator, I hitted refresh in Visual Studio and the error disappeared. Great!

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...

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...
