Tech Tips, Tricks & Trivia

This Week I Learned -  *  Migrate application workloads written in full .NET Framework, which requires running in Windows containers to .NET Standard . Migrated workloads will run in Linux containers with a smaller footprint in terms of a container image and hence provide better density. This decreases the number of agent nodes required to host and run applications. *  Azure shared disks is a feature for Azure managed disks that allow you to attach a managed disk to multiple virtual machines (VMs) simultaneously .  * You can attach an SSD persistent disk in multi-writer mode to up to two N2 virtual machine (VM) instances simultaneously so that both VMs can read and write to the disk. Persistent disks in multi-writer mode support a subset of SCSI-3 Persistent Reservations (SCSI PR) commands.  You can attach a non-boot persistent disk to more than one VM in read-only mode , which lets you share static data between multiple VMs. Sharing static data betw...

This Week I Learned -  * Cloud Foundry is an open-source platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for building, deploying, and operating 12-factor applications developed in various languages and frameworks. There are two forms of Cloud Foundry available to run on Azure : open-source Cloud Foundry (OSS CF) and Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). OSS CF is an entirely open-source version of Cloud Foundry managed by the Cloud Foundry Foundation. Pivotal Cloud Foundry is an enterprise distribution of Cloud Foundry from Pivotal Software Inc. which is now acquired by VMware. It is now called Tanzu Application Service (TAS). VMware is transitioning from Cloud Foundry to Tanzu tools and nomenclature. * Free ebook -  Azure SQL Revealed: A Guide to the Cloud for SQL Server Professionals ;519 pages, 2021 *  Terraform Workshop slides *  OpenStack began as a joint project between Rackspace and NASA .   *  OpenStack is an open source platform that uses pooled virtual resources t...
