Operational limits when using Azure DevOps

Azure DevOps is the SaaS(Software-as-a-Service) version of Azure DevOps Server(the on-premise alternative). As with most SaaS solutions, certain limits apply. Some are operational limits placed on work tracking operations and some are object limits. In addition to the specified hard limits on specific objects, some practical limits apply.

All of these limits are documented. but only operational limits like pipeline usage and top commands can be monitored directly in Azure DevOps through the Usage tab. However, object limits—such as the number of projects, dashboards, or teams—have not been traceable so far.

With the latest update you can now see the object limits both at the project level:

  • Go to Project Settings and scroll down on the Overview tab:


As at the organizational level:

  • Go to Organization Settings and scroll down on the Overview tab:


Nice!

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
