Azure Static Web Apps - Using the Astro Static Site Generator

As a follow-up on the presentation I did at CloudBrew about Azure Static Web Apps I want to write a series of blog posts.

Yesterday I showed you how to deploy your first Static Web App using the VSCode extension. As an example I used a static website created using Astro.

What I didnā€™t mention is that the first time the Github Actions workflow tried to build and deploy the application it failed with the following error message:

Build error:

Node.js v16.20.2 is not supported by Astro!

Please upgrade Node.js to a supported version: ">=18.14.1"

The problem is that the Github Action that is created by the extension assumes the use of node 14. As Astro requires a more recent Node.js version the Astro build fails. To resolve this we need to update our package.json to explicitly specify a node version by adding an engines section:

{
"name": "astro-landing-page",
"type": "module",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"dev": "astro dev",
"start": "astro dev",
"build": "astro build",
"preview": "astro preview",
"astro": "astro",
"format": "prettier --write **/*.astro .",
"clean": "rimraf dist .astro node_modules"
},
"engines": {
"node": ">=18.0.0"
},

"astro-icon": "^0.8.1",
"prettier": "^3.0.3",
"prettier-plugin-astro": "^0.12.0",
"prettier-plugin-tailwindcss": "^0.5.6",
"rimraf": "^5.0.5",
"tailwindcss-fluid-type": "^2.0.3"

}

Kubernetesā€“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...
