Azure DevOps Extension for Azure CLI

Microsoft is introducing a new extensions for the Azure CLI, the Azure DevOps Extension. This extension adds Pipelines, Boards, Repos, Artifacts and DevOps commands to the Azure CLI 2.0. It replaces the VSTS CLI that has been deprecated and will no longer be receiving new features.

Getting started

az –version

    • Add the Azure DevOps Extension

    az extension add --name azure-devops

      • Run the az login command. This will open up the default browser and load a sign-in page. You can also login using a PAT if you want.

      az login

      • Set the default project organization and project name. This avoids that we have to do this for every command:

      az devops configure --defaults organization=https://dev.azure.com/ordina project=SampleProject

      az pipelines build list -o table

      .NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

      A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

      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...
