Owin–Stage Markers

While reviewing some code I noticed the following code snippet;

I had no clue what Stage Markers where so time to dig in…

What are stage markers?

Stage markers play a rol when you are using OWIN in IIS. IIS has a specific execution pipeline containing a predefined set of pipeline events. If you want to run a specific set of OWIN middleware  during a particular stage in the IIS pipeline, you  can use the UseStageMarker method as seen in the sample above.

Stage marker rules

There are rules on which stage of the pipeline you can execute middleware and the order components must run. Following stage events are supported:

By default, OWIN middleware runs at the last event (PreHandlerExecute). To run a set of middleware components during an earlier stage, insert a stage marker right after the last component in the set during registration.

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

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities.  DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks.
