Angular 4–Visual Studio 2017 - error TS2420: Class 'MdButton' incorrectly implements interface 'CanDisable'. Property 'disabled' is missing in type 'MdButton'.

After upgrading to Angular 4, my Visual Studio turned red from all the TypeScript errors.

Some samples:

/node_modules/@angular/material/typings/button/button.d.ts(40,22): error TS2420: Class 'MdButton' incorrectly implements interface 'CanDisable'.
  Property 'disabled' is missing in type 'MdButton'.

/node_modules/@angular/material/typings/button/button.d.ts(40,39): error TS2507: Type '(new (...args: any[]) => CanDisable) & typeof MdButtonBase' is not a constructor function type.
The strange thing was, that when I used the Angular CLI and ng build(or serve) no errors appeared and everything seemed to work. 
I first tried to remove my node_modules folder and do a clean install –> didn’t help Sad smile
Then I removed my globally installed node_modules and reinstalled them as well –> didn’t help Sad smile
Then I upgraded my TypeScript version and the related Visual Studio tooling –> didn’t help Sad smile
In the end I found a solution that worked for me here, I had to update to Visual Studio 2017 Update 15.2. I don’t understand why upgrading an Angular version will get Visual Studio into trouble. I hope this experience will improve as I will become hesitant to upgrade Angular in the future.
Remark: Afterwards I noticed that a colleague already sent me an email telling me to update my Visual Studio before upgrading. Better read my mails next time… Confused smile

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...
