I recently learned that I could turn on experimentally features in Docker for Windows and run both Windows and Linux images simultaneously. Normally we need to switch between them, and you can run one or the other. The feature is here for some time now, but below is the 2021 short tutorial :). 1. Switch…

This is exciting! I’ve been brewing the idea about this for almost a year now, and it’s finally come to the realization. I developed and used many tools and scripts over the years, but I never compiled them in the packages that I could share with you. Finally, after a month of refactoring and preparing…

In this short post, I’ll share a simple script to modify the YML files. You can also use the script in the CI/CD pipelines, an example for Azure DevOps is below. To read the YML file we will use powershell-yaml module, which you can install and active like this: Install-Module -Name powershell-yaml Import-Module powershell-yaml 12…

And running them is a joy… 1, 2, 3, and BAMMM!!!. 🙂 For any number of reasons, instead of writing a script, we do repeating “keystrokes and clicks”, which is…

When we are releasing software to different environments through our release pipelines, we usually want to mark that in our monitoring system. Normally that is a time-stamp or annotation and can help us diagnosing performance issues if they arise. We extensively use Application Insights for monitoring and logging system and Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) for…
read more We all do some sort of logging on our servers, may be log files, database, Application Insights, etc. But that won’t do us much good, if there are no active measures set against them. I am talking about automatic alerts, which will allow us to react quickly in case of performance issues or failures. That’s…
