Team Foundation Server–402 (Payment Required)

As part of our build process we push some of our artifacts as NuGet packages to Team Foundation Server.

After adding a new build agent, executing the push failed with the following log output:

The problem is that this new agent is running using a service account that isn’t know inside Team Foundation Server. Let’s fix this…

  • Browse to your Team Foundation Server collection
  • On the Start page click on the Gear icon and select Users from the dropdown

  • On the Users tab, select Package Management on the left.

  • Afterwards click on Assign to add extra users.

Remark: The steps above apply to Team Foundation Server not to Azure DevOps(the latest incarnation of TFS)

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. Instead of using different websites you get a fully offline experience offering help for a large list of tasks. Many tools are available.
