Cum putem sincroniza un director cu un blob din cloud.

Ieri am vorbit despre modalitatea prin care una sau mai multe instante de SQL Azure se pot sincroniza.
Astazi o sa incerc sa o ofer o solutie pentru cazul in care un client adauga in mod deconectat date pe blob, pe care noi vrem mai tarziu sa le le sincronizam cu blob-urile din cloud.
Problema: Se da un client care lucreaza cu date din blob-uri in mod deconectat. Se doreste ca la reconectare sa se sincronizeze cele doua storage-uri.
Ati spune simplu, ne apucam sa ne scriem un mecanism prin care sa putem sincroniza cele doua containere de date. Da, e si asta o varianta, dar oare merita sa implementam de la zero acest mecanism. Ati putea spune ca putem vedeam cele doua storage-uri ca si doua directoare si atunci sa folosim un mecanism de sincronizare a directoarelor. Suna bine, dar am o solutie mult mai curata - Microsoft Sync Framework.
Se bazeaza pe idea de a vedea cele doua storage-uri ca si doua directoare( partitii). Folosindu-ne de Microsoft Sync Framework putem sa sincronizam aceste date fara nici o problema.
  FileSyncProvider localfileSyncProvider = new FileSyncProvider(localPathName);
AzureBlobSyncProvider cloudSyncProvider= new AzureBlobSyncProvider(containerName, blobStore);
SyncOrchestrator syncOrchestrator = new SyncOrchestrator();
syncOrchestrator.LocalProvider = localfileSyncProvider;
syncOrchestrator.RemoteProvider = cloudSyncProvider;
syncOrchestrator.Synchronize();
Mai sus am dat un exemplu rudimentar la modul in care se poate face o sincronizare intre un directoru local si un blob folosindu-ne de acest framework. Ce mi-a placut pana acuma este ca nu mai este nevoie sa imi bat capul cum sa detectez modificările. Exista deja implementat un mecanism pentru acest lucru, iar in cazul in care dorim unul custom, putem cu usurinta sa inseram mecanismul nostru propriu.
Zilele astea o sa studiez acest framework si o sa revin cu alte posturi. O prezentare interesanta gasiti aici: http://www.microsoftpdc.com/2009/SVC23

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(

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
