SonarQube - SQL Server Integrated Security

While moving our build agents from one server to another, I also had to move our SonarQube instance.

To install the SonarQube instance I followed the instructions mentioned here: https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/setup/install-server/

As I was using SQL Server with Integrated Security, I took special attention when reading this section:

To use integrated security:

  1. Download the Microsoft SQL JDBC Driver 9.2.0 package and copy mssql-jdbc_auth-9.2.0.x64.dll to any folder in your path.

  2. If you're running SonarQube as a Windows service, make sure the Windows account under which the service is running has permission to connect your SQL server. The account should have db_owner database role membership.

    If you're running the SonarQube server from a command prompt, the user under which the command prompt is running should have db_owner database role membership.

  3. Ensure that sonar.jdbc.username or sonar.jdbc.password properties are commented out or SonarQube will use SQL authentication.
sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=sonar;integratedSecurity=true
This instructions were not completely obvious to me. So here is some extra info in case you don’t get it working with the instructions above:
Tip 1: 
If you are looking for the mentioned dll, you can find it in the following folder inside the zip file: \enu\auth\x64\mssql-jdbc_auth-9.2.0.x64.dll 
Tip 2: 
It wasn’t clear to me what was meant with any folder in your path. I copied the DLL to both the bin and lib folder of my OpenJDK installation.
Tip 3:
After doing the steps above, it still didn’t work. Turns out that SonarQube was expecting the 9.2.0 version. If you follow the download link, you arrive at the latest version of the JDBC driver which is version 9.2.1.
To get the correct DLL, I had to go to Github and download the correct version there: https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-jdbc/releases/tag/v9.2.0

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
