OutputCache in Windows Azure folosind AppFabric.Cache

In post-ul anterior am vorbit despre cum putem sa ne definim propriul nostru mecanism de cache-ing. Dar daca ne aflam in cloud.
Iata urmatorul scenariu: avem o aplicatie MVC 2 pe Windows Azure si vrem sa putem folosii un mecanism de cache-ing. In cazul in care avem mai multe web roluri dorim sa facem un sistem de cache-ing oarecum centralizat. Nu dorim sa încărcam de doua ori anumite date daca acestea sunt deja incarcate.
O varianta pentru a rezolva aceasta problema este sa ne definim propriul mecanism pentru cache-ing. Nu ar fi foarte complicat, dar ne-ar costa ceva timp. Cea mai simpla varianta este sa folosim mecanismul intern de pe Windows Azure. AppFabric ne ofera si posibilitatea sa facem cache-ing la date. Acest provider de cache-ing se numeste DistributedCache, iar pentru al putea folosi este nevoie sa accesam sectiunea de AppFabric din contul de Windows Azure si sa adaugăm un serviciu.
In web.config-ul aplicatiei trebuie sa adauga o noua sectiune prin care sa putem definii providerul din cloud, iar apoi sa scriem definiția propriu-zisa:
<configSections>
<section name="distributedCache"
type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheClientSection,
Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core"
allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
</configSections>
<distributedCache deployment="Simple">
<hosts>
<host name="raduVunvulea.cache.appfabriclabs.com" cachePort="80" />
</hosts>
<securityProperties mode="Message">
<messageSecurity authorizationInfo="43423423DFJF2rf32f23f23f233gt23f3f3">
</messageSecurity>
</securityProperties>
</distributedCache>
Tot ce mai este nevoie este sa adaugam in sectiunea de cache-ing definitia noastra de provider:
<webconfig>
<caching>
<outputCache defaultProvider="DistributedCacheProvider" >
<add name="DistributedCacheProvider"
type="Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache.DistributedCacheOutputCacheProvider,
Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache"
cacheName="cacheOne" />
</outputCache>
</caching>
</webconfig>
Din acest moment aplicatia noastra o sa poata folosi cache-ing pe care Windows Azure il pune la dispozitie prin intermediul AppFabric. Pentru acest lucru aveti nevoie nu doar de un cont de Windows Azure ci si de un service namespace pe AppFabric, care nu este gratis.

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(

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.

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

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

 Looking back, July 19, 2024, was challenging for customers using Microsoft Azure or Windows machines. Two major outages affected customers using CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Azure computation resources in the Central US. These two outages affected many people and put many businesses on pause for a few hours or even days. The overlap of these two issues was a nightmare for travellers. In addition to blue screens in the airport terminals, they could not get additional information from the airport website, airline personnel, or the support line because they were affected by the outage in the Central US region or the CrowdStrike outage.   But what happened in reality? A faulty CrowdStrike update affected Windows computers globally, from airports and healthcare to small businesses, affecting over 8.5m computers. Even if the Falson Sensor software defect was identified and a fix deployed shortly after, the recovery took longer. In parallel with CrowdStrike, Microsoft provided a too
