From project to product–Microsoft DevOps Dojo

Microsoft transitioned from a large enterprise software business to a cloud company. In that sense, they are like most compagnies out there who struggle to move from an existing business model to a new cloud first service model. This also means that there are a lot of useful lessons that are relevant for all of us.

Through the Microsoft Dojo for customers program, they started to show the way they work, the way they learn, and the way they experiment.

Here are some of the topics they already covered:

  1. Dojo – People & Teams
  2. Dojo – Experiential Learning
  3. Dojo – Customers & Trust
  4. Dojo – Culture & Mindset
  5. Dojo – Product Centric Model – Part 1
  6. Dojo – Product Centric Model – Part 2
  7. Dojo – Product Centric Model – Part 3
  8. Dojo – OKRs (Objectives and Key Results)

.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...
