.NET Core 3.0 - HTTP/2 support

You maybe think this is a bad title for this blog post? HTTP/2 support was already available for .NET Core 3.0. So why a blog post with the release of .NET Core 3.0?

The reason is that although it was possible to host an ASP.NET Core 2.0 application behind an HTTP/2 endpoint, the HttpClient class didn’t had support for it!

There are 2 ways that can be used to enable HTTP/2:

Enable HTTP/2 at the instance level

To enable HTTP/2 support at the instance level, you can set the DefaultRequestVersion when creating the HttpClient instance:

For example, the following code creates an HttpClient instance using HTTP/2 as its default protocol:

Of course even better is to use the HttpClientFactory to create and configure the HttpClient:

Enable HTTP/2 at the request level

It is also possible to create a single request using the HTTP/2 protocol:

Remark: Remember that HTTP/2 needs to be supported by both the server and the client. If either party doesn't support HTTP/2, both will use HTTP/1.1.

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
