The target framework 'netcoreapp3.0' is out of support and will not receive security updates in the future.

After upgrading to the latest Visual Studio version(16.8.1) that added support for .NET 5, I got a new warning when opening an existing .NET 3.0 solution:

The target framework 'netcoreapp3.0' is out of support and will not receive security updates in the future. Please refer to https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-support for more information about the support policy.

You don’t have to panic when you see this warning. The only thing you need to be aware of is that some versions of .NET have a short support lifecyle where other versions are LTS (Long Term Support) versions. .NET Core 3.0 is a release with a short support lifecycle(support ended March 3 2020) where .NET Core 3.1 is an LTS version.

To get rid of this warning upgrade your app to .NET Core 3.1.

Remark: Be aware that .NET 5 is also a version with short support. Support will end with the release of .NET 6 (planned for February 2022).

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...
