Visual Studio 2017–.editorconfig

Visual Studio 2017 adds support for .editorconfig files within projects to help developers define and maintain consistent coding styles between different editors and IDEs, which can be useful for large development teams looking to maintain a consistent style across their code base.

Teams can configure convention preferences and choose how they are enforced inside the editor (as suggestions, warnings, or errors). The rules apply to whatever files are in the directory that contains the EditorConfig file. If you have different conventions for different projects, you can define each project’s rules in different EditorConfig files if the projects are in separate directories.

More about the EditorConfig project: http://editorconfig.org/

Easiest way to get started is by installing Mads Kristensen's EditorConfig extension, which can be downloaded from the Visual Studio Marketplace and will provide full autocompletion, syntax highlighting, and much more.

Remark: You don’t need this extension but it makes editing the .editorconfig files so much easier

After installing the extension it is time to open Visual Studio and load a solution.

  • Right click on a project. Choose Add –> .editorconfig File

  • Thanks to the extension you’ll get autocompletion

If you do not wish to use an EditorConfig file or you want to configure rules that your team hasn’t explicitly set, go to Tools>Options>Text Edtior> [C#/Basic]>Code Style to configure your machine local settings.

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         ...
