Tool-uri pentru Windows Azure

Total Cost Calculator
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/economics/
O aplicatie oferita de catre Microsoft pentru a ne ajuta sa estimam preturiile unei aplicatii in loud. Estimariile nu sunt foarte exacte, dar ne pot oferii o idee asupra preturiilor in prima faza. As fi vrut sa fie mai exacta si sa ne permita sa introduce in calculul final mai multe variabile, dar in versiunea actuala trebuie sa ne multumim doar cu atat.
Nota 8.

Azure Storage Explorer
http://azurestorageexplorer.codeplex.com/
O alta aplicatie foarte utila poate sa fie Azure Storage Explorer. Prin intermediul ei putem sa interogam si sa executam operatii CRUD pe table, blob si queues aflate in cloud sau de pe masina de test. Poate sa ne fie de foarte ajutor, mai ales in faza de debug sau de testare.
Nota 10.

Windows Azure Service Management CmdLets
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/azurecmdlets
Ne permite sa facem deploy si sa controlam o aplicatie din cloud din linia de comanda. Putem sa scriem scripturi pe care apoi sa le rulam automat. Tot procesul de deploy poate sa fie automatizat si din cate am observat putem sa automatizam si modul in care scalam aplicatie. CmdLets ne permite sa cream( sau distruge) instante in cloud. Daca stim Power Shell putem sa generam scripturi care sa faca minuni.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users.  This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users.  Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see
