Azure DevOps–Migrate from TFVC to Git

There is a nice feature in Azure DevOps I wasn’t aware it existed.

You can directly migrate from TFS Version Control to Git through Azure DevOps. The import experience is great for small projects. For bigger projects it is recommended to first remove all binaries and executables from the source repo.

Here are the steps to use this feature:

  • Browse to your Azure DevOps (Server) environment
  • Select the project where you want to create the Git repository
  • Go to Repos –> Files

  • From the repo dropdown at the top, select the Import repository option.

  • On the Import repository dialog, select TFVC as the Source type.
  • Now you can specify the name of the repository / branch / folder that you want to import.
  • You can also decide if you want to migrate some of the history. You can migrate up to 180 days of history starting from the most recent changeset.

Thanks Jef for the tip!

.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...
