RabbitMQ Streams - No such host is known

Yesterday I talked about RabbitMQ Streams, a new persistent and replicated data structure in RabbitMQ 3.9 which models an append-only log with non-destructive consumer semantics.

I demonstrated how you could build a small example application in C# to test this stream. I first tried this code against a local cluster I had running in a docker container (check my repo if you want a Dockerfile where this plugin is already enabled: https://github.com/wullemsb/docker-rabbitmq).

At first this failed with the following error message:

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known

In my configuration you can see that I’m pointing to the local Loopback address which should be localhost:

Let’s open the debugger and see what is going on…

When I looked at the connection settings I noticed the following:

You can see that the advertised host is not ‘localhost’ but a random string.

This is the random name assigned to the node in my cluster.

To get rid of this problem, I have to start the docker container with an extra argument to set the node name to localhost:

RABBITMQ_SERVER_ADDITIONAL_ERL_ARGS="-rabbitmq_stream advertised_host localhost"

.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...
