If you are a Spring developer and maintaining some Spring apps for your company, upgrading to the new Spring version should be a regular task for you. While upgrading to the latest versions of Spring Boot and JDK is a monumental step forward, bringing substantial performance improvements and new features to enjoy, it’s a fact that this leap can pose significant challenges and demand substantial effort from developers. Typically, open-source Spring project minor releases receive support for a minimum of 12 months from the date of initial release, and then making sure upgrading the Spring version timely before reaching the end-of-life date is a hard commitment to avoid putting your mission-critical workloads at risk. Now with VMware Tanzu Spring Runtime Support naturally built in Azure Sprin…

When developing a function, it is imperative to thoroughly test the code on multiple occasions. Utilizing the Code+Test feature in the portal provides a straightforward method for testing, where you can simply click the "Run" button.   If your function is configured to be accessible from the public network, testing on your local PC is a viable option. However, in the scenario where the private endpoint is enabled within your function app, attempting to test may result in a 403 error accompanied by an error message. Error message: You must have direct network access in order to run your function. Your app may be restricted with Private Endpoints, Access Restrictions or Service Endpoints.   Why did I get the 403 status code? As you are aware, a private endpoint imposes restrictions on publi…

TL; DR Socket.IO library is natively supported on Azure. Since we public previewed this feature, we received positive feedback from users. Now we are happy to share that Web PubSub for Socket.IO is generally available, which means that Azure customers can expect stable APIs, SLAs customer support and it’s suitable for use in production.   Solve the scalability issue without code rewrite. When we interviewed Socket.IO users, the challenge of scaling out Socket.IO servers came up repeatedly. It’s a challenge that can be met uniquely by Azure. With the input from Socket.IO users, it’s a challenge we aimed to solve when we public previewed the support for Socket.IO on Azure two months ago.   Developers can continue using the Socket.IO APIs they know and love and migrate to Azure seamless with…

As microservices architecture becomes increasingly prevalent, each microservices cluster is tasked with independently handling identity authentication and authorization. This not only increases the development workload but also gives rise to maintenance and security challenges. However, the introduction of a gateway concept provides an innovative solution to these issues. VMware Spring Cloud Gateway, acting as the first line of defense for all incoming requests, assumes the crucial responsibility of handling identity authentication, verifying user identities, and validating their permissions. This means that each microservice no longer needs to code authentication and authorization independently, thus reducing the development workload significantly. Compared with the open source version of…

also on placemark.io/blog The company and product side of Placemark didn’t work out. Some fantastic, friendly people used it, but I couldn’t find a way to make it work as a sustainable bootstrapped startup. Building it was incredibly fun. Failing to find success and sustainability was pretty hard but it’s okay. Here’s the plan: Today I’m turning off signups to Placemark.io. Placemark is free for all existing customers until January 19, 2023, at which point the servers will be shut down. Later in January, I’ll release the full source code to the site. This might take a little while. It’s a big application. Building Placemark was an incredible experience. I learned a ton and got to know a lot of new people in the process. I’m really proud of what it turned out to be, even if the business fell short of my goals. I built, coded, designed, documented, marketed, and ran Placemark. It had paying customers who used it for real-world purposes. It shipped, and it was a real business. With luck, it’ll become something as an open source project – either maintained, or used as inspiration and fuel for future projects. I’m happy to create more value than I capture. There’s more to write about what I learned, but for now I just want to say thanks to everyone who gave it a shot, and all of the people who were supportive along the way - special thanks to Gabriel Coch, Aaron Boodman, Brian Lovin, Adam Krebs, Prerna Nadathur, and many others.

I developed an old roll of film and the photos are pretty decent! My Olympus XA-2 is my default walking-around camera. I love it, but its age is showing and I’m envious of the crisp photos that people get out of later-era SLR film cameras. Thinking about getting a lightweight viewfinder for my monstrous Nikon F, or buying something like a Nikon FM2. There’s a paradox to this gear, though, and I don’t want to delude myself into thinking that I’d use a slightly different camera more when really the issue is that I’m not shooting many photos regardless. These were shot with SantaColor, which produces the strong green & red channels. It’s interesting? I chose not to “correct it” all the way back to natural lighting. Or I couldn’t find a way to do that without ruining the look. Getting film developed is harder than ever, but most major cities have an option. In New York, I use Gelatin and Pink Folder Film House In DC, I used Dodge Chrome In San Francisco, I used Photoworks I’m still using Capture One to manage my photos, which is expensive and vastly overkill but really nice, focused, “pro” software.

End-to-end (E2E) TLS encryption for intra-cluster traffic between App Service front-ends and workers is now in Preview for Linux resources on Standard App Service Plans and above.     To better understand the importance of this feature, it would be helpful to understand the current set-up on App Service and how incoming traffic and intra-clusters traffic are handled. Incoming requests to App Service could always be secured with TLS encryption on both multi-tenant and App Service Environments (ASE). However, these incoming HTTPS requests would have TLS terminated on our front-ends and continue as HTTP to the workers running the application workloads. For a few years now, applications running on ASE have had the option to configure and to enable E2E TLS encryption intra-clusters, though this…

With containers becoming the new normal for cloud operations, the adoption of Kubernetes, by cloud native and enterprise organizations alike, continues to skyrocket. The 2022 CNCF Annual Survey touts Kubernetes as “the ‘operating system’ of the cloud,” as it has become the platform for running almost any kind of workload. Cost optimization, however, continues to be a top challenge for organizations regardless of their level of maturity and experience adopting Kubernetes.   Organizations are looking for ways to reduce cloud spend, but without cost visibility and allocation tooling it is difficult to know where to start and what to optimize.

We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21. To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to execute Java applications so if one needs compilation and runtime of Java they need only the JDK package in the future. If, on the other hand, they need just runtime of Java then JRE (or jre-headless) will work. This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade: If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk and this removes the JRE related packages. If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now. If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacman should resolve dependencies normally and no action is needed. At the moment this is only valid for the upcoming JDK 21 release.

Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your requirements and preferences.   In this blog post, I will explain the differences between Kubenet and Azure CNI, and help you choose the best option for your AKS cluster.   Here is a short overview of the network plugin types available to Azure Kubernetes Service:   Kubenet The default plugin for the AKS cluster  Designed for fewer than 400 nodes (only nodes get a "real IP") Pods receive an internal IP address from a logically different address space of the Azure virtual net…

October was another pleasantly busy month in Brooklyn. Really took advantage of the breadth of New York culture: I saw an opera at the Metropolitan Opera House, and then went to see prog-metal band Polyphia play guitar solos as fast as possible. At the latter, there were multiple mosh pits and the most packed audience I’ve ever encountered. It was my first ‘metal’ oriented concert, and the friendliness and openness of everyone who attended was remarkable. Via Arts Gowanus, I saw lots of local art and was especially struck by Perrin Ireland’s art about animals, gender, and climate change. Books I read five great books in a row but broke the streak by reading Charles Eisenstein. Still, it was nice to enjoy book after book, especially Feel Free, which completely validated the buzz around Za…

Creating and deploying Docker containers to Azure resources manually can be a complicated and time-consuming process. This tutorial outlines a graceful process for developing and deploying a Linux Docker container on your Windows PC, making it easy to deploy to Azure resources.   This tutorial emphasizes using the user interface to complete most of the steps, making the process more reliable and understandable. While there are a few steps that require the use of command lines, the majority of tasks can be completed using the UI. This focus on the UI is what makes the process graceful and user-friendly.   In this tutorial, we will use a Python Flask application as an example, but the steps should be similar for other languages such as Node.js.   Prerequisites:   Before you begin, you'll nee…

We need to pay more attention to the physical impacts of mental illness. It could not only be messing with your mind, but also your heart, say scientists.

A new study shows that young adults when sleep-deprived evaluate angry faces as less trustworthy and healthy-looking. Furthermore, neutral and fearful faces appear less attractive following sleep loss.

Scientists pinpoint the molecular epicenter of deep-sleep regulation. The findings, based on research in mice, identify a gene that makes a protein that regulates delta waves -- electrical signals between neurons that occur during the deepest phases of relaxation and are a hallmark of restorative sleep.

Researchers presents a new study demonstrating that a small molecule in brain cells affects the level of hypocretin, which is responsible for making us feel awake during the day and tired at night. People with a genetic variation of this molecule have a higher risk of suffering from daytime sleepiness.

Seven hours is the ideal amount of sleep for people in their middle age and upwards, with too little or too much little sleep associated with poorer cognitive performance and mental health, say researchers.

Up to half of older adults may have sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing and sleep are briefly interrupted many times a night. A new study shows that this chronic tiredness can have serious implications for road safety.

Black women are disproportionately affected by poor sleep, which is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, depression and worse quality of life. The gold standard treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which specifically targets the individual's problematic sleep behaviors and beliefs.

A new study has paved the way for the first drug treatment for sleep apnea. Compared to before receiving the treatment, breathing pauses decreased with on average more than 20 per hour for patients given the drug.
