Adding a build agent to TFS 2015

I was shocked how simple we can create and attach a new build agent to TFS 2015. There are only a few simple and small steps that we need to do.
The new build system that comes with TFS 2015 and Visual Studio Team Services (Visual Studio Online) is not using anymore the old and classic XAML build definition. The new one allows you to define the build as a flow of events where you can specify at each step what do you want to happen. This is done easily directly from the web portal.

If you need to create or add a new build agent to your TFS 2015 infrastructure, than you will be shocked how easily this can be done.
First step is to download from the "Agent Pools" tab the agent.

Once you done this step, you will need to run the executable on the machine that will become the new Build Agent. I recommend to run the executable file from a command prompt and provide all the information that are required. You only need to know the TFS 2015 address and to have access to TFS as "Agent Pool Service Account".
And we are done!

You will find out that you cannot run the build directly. This will happen because you will need to install the application that are needed by your build (msbuild, visualstudio, vstest). The error that is displayed when you didn't install all that you need looks like the one below.

"No agent found in pool 1 which satisfies the specified demands"

Don't worry. The installation of all this dependencies is smooth and you don't need to do any kind of custom confirmation.

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(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
