Free SQL Server training during the quarantines

Brent Ozar did a nice gesture in these difficult times and gave away part of his training course for free. So if you really need to spice up your SQL server skills, this is really the training for you.

Start with the ‘How to Think Like the Engine’:

Then continue with the ‘Fundamentals of Index tuning’:

And if you want to go even deeper, take it to the next level with ‘Fundamentals of Query tuning’:

Thanks Brent for all the great (free) content!

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.

        Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

        After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...
