Github Actions–Resource not accessible by integration

When trying to run the release pipeline I showed you last Thursday, it originally failed with the following error message:

Error: Resource not accessible by integration

Here is the original Github Actions workflow I was using:

The error above was caused by the fact that the Github Actions workflow couldn’t access the Releases inside Github. There are multiple ways to fix this:

  • Create a separate PAT (Personal Access Token) with specific rights needed to create a release
  • Override  the default permissions in the workflow file itself
  • Update the permissions in the Github Actions settings

I decided to go for the second option and updated the workflow file to include the specific permission needed:

Remark: It can take some time to identify the right permission you need, so certainly check out the documentation or ask Github Copilot for help.

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
