Azure DevOps Wiki - Publish a new wiki version

I think that documentation is really important. If it is not for my future self, it will be for the poor girl/guy who has to take over my code. Therefore I spend a lot of time in the Azure DevOps wiki to document my application.

Today I started to work on a version 2.x of my application. As this new version contains a lot of breaking changes, I immediatelly updated my documentation to reflect these changes. However this 2.x version is still in preview and I want my existing users to still give access to the ‘old’ documentation.

So how can I have multiple versions of my documentation available in Azure DevOps?

Publish a new wiki branch

The answer to this question is by publishing a new wiki branch. My wiki pages live in the same repository as my source code in a separate docs folder:

When I started working on my 2.x version, I created a branch for my previous release:

To publish this new branch to the wiki, open the Wiki page, open the branch picker, and then choose Publish new branch:

Choose the branch we have just created and click Publish:

Now we can choose between the 2 documentation versions:

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...
