[Post Event] DevTalks Cluj-Napoca 2018

By
Today (May 16th, 2018) I had the opportunity to participate at DevTalks as an attendee but also as a speaker. I was surprised to discover a conference with more than 1200 people and 7 tracks in parallel. Besides this, the event took place in Polyvalent Hall, a beautiful location that can handle more than 1000 people without a problem.

My session was different from the ones that I had until now. I had to talk about Azure to a Java audience. It was not an easy task to do, and at least nobody said Azure sucks. You can find below session details and slides.

 Title:
  • RUNNING JAVA APPS INSIDE AZURE
Abstract:
  • In this session, we will NOT talk about how much Microsoft loves Linux or how much Azure loves Java. This session will focus on how an application written in Java using tools available for Java environment can survive inside Azure. Together we will take a look at how we can create a similar environment as you have on AWS or on-premises to run your Java applications. We will try to cover topics related to infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, SaaS integration and specific solutions used together with Java applications (e.g., Kafka, Cassandra).

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

By
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(...

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.

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

By
 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 provi...
