Talk on how to use .NET, Azure Container Apps and Dapr to build modern and intellignet applications.

Use .NET, Azure Container Apps and Dapr to build modern and intellignet applications.

In this talk, we’ll look at how to create, build and run a server-side WebAssembly app in C#. Then we’ll push the resulting WASM binary to Azure Container Registry and run the app in Kubernetes!

One question I often get from by my customers is how to use Azure Active Directroy to protect their Node.js or .NET APIs. Every single time I answer by redirecting them to this amazing post (Proteger una API en Node.js con Azure Active Directory), written in spanish, by my friend and peer Gisela Torres (0gis0).

Microservices architectures are inherently distributed and building such solutions always bring interesting challenges to the table: resilient service invocation, distributed transactions, on-demand scaling, idempotent message processing and more. Deploying Microservices on Kubernetes doesn’t solve these problems and Developers need to learn and use SDK’s on top of frameworks such as .NET, while building distributed Microservices architectures.

A talk (Spanish) on Dapr and Azure Functions

As you may know I’ve been collaborating with Dapr and I’ve learned that one of the things it enables you to do is to collect traces with the use of the OpenTelemetry Collector and push the events to Azure Application Insights. After some reading I went and check if I could also write my ASP.NET Core applications to log using the OpenTelemetry Log and Event record definition:

Now that Dapr is about to hit version 1.0.0 let me show you how easy is to read secrets with a .NET 5 console application. Create a console application # dotnet new console -n DaprSecretSample cd DaprSecretSample Add a reference to the Dapr.Client library # dotnet add package Dapr.Client --prerelease Create a Secret Store component # Create a components folder and inside place a file named secretstore.yaml with the following contents:

Let’s see how Azure ARM, Terraform, Azure Service Operator for Kubernetes and other solutions compare to each other so you can choose the right weapon to win the Infrastructure as Code War!

In this workshop you’ll learn how to deploy, monitor, scale, secure and debug workloads in AKS: Deploy an aplication. Configure monitoring and health checks for your application. Scale your application to meet demand. Enable SSL/TLS with an ingress controller. Secret Management with AKS & Keyvault. Debugging your Kubernetes application.

Today I’m going to show you how to manage Terraform Cloud with .NET Core using the Tfe.NetClient library. The idea is to create a simple console application that will: Add GitHub as a VCS Provider. Create a Workspace conected to a GitHub repo where your Terraform files live. Create a variable in the workspace. Create a Run (Plan) based on the Terraform files Apply the Run. Tfe.NetClient is still in alpha and not every Terraform Cloud API or feature is present. Please feel free to submit any issues, bugs or pull requests.

Let’s learn how to use Dapr to build resilient, stateless and stateful microservices solutions that run on the cloud and edge solving the challenges you´ll face if you try to remove your applications SDK dependencies, port your applications (without code modifications) between clouds and implement event-driven architectures.

A common challenge when building cloud applications is how to manage the credentials in your code for authenticating to cloud services. In this session we’ll explore how to keep your credentials safe and how you can work without saving those credentials in the developers machines and therefore avoid an accidental upload to source control.

Let’s learn how to use Dapr to build resilient, stateless and stateful microservices solutions that run on the cloud and edge solving the challenges you´ll face if you try to remove your applications SDK dependencies, port your applications (without code modifications) between clouds and implement event-driven architectures.

Dapr is an event-driven, portable runtime for building microservices on cloud and edge. Dapr supports the fundamental features you’ll need such as: service invocation, state management, publish/subscribe messaging and since version 0.5.0 the ability to read from secret stores! This post will show you to read kubernetes secrets using Dapr and .NET Core:

This is the perfect session if you want to understand the tools, features and best practices we’ve learned from customer engagements, that will allow your enterprise to deploy, use and operate Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with confidence. And here a picture taken during the session:
