Some months ago a customer asked me if there was a way to deploy a Windows node pool with spot virtual machines and ephemeral disks in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
The idea was to create a cluster that could be used to run Windows batch workloads and minimize costs by deploying the following:
This post will show you the steps you’ll have to take to deploy an Azure Files Storage with a Private Endpoint and use it to create volumes for an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster:
Create a bicep file to declare the Azure resources # You’ll have to declare the following resources:
When configuring Azure Kubernetes Service with Azure Container Network Interface (CNI), every pod gets an IP address of the subnet you’ve configured.
So how do you plan you address space? What factors should you consider?
Each node consumes one IP. Each pod consumes one IP. Each internal LoadBalancer Service you anticipate consumes one IP. Azure reserves 5 IP addresses within each subnet. The Max pods per node is 250. The Max pods per nodes lower limit is 10. 30 pods is the minimum per cluster. Max nodes per cluster is 1000. When a cluster is upgraded a new node is added as part of the process which requires a minimum of one additional block of IP addresses to be available. Your node count is then n + 1. When you scale a cluster an additional node is added. Your node count is then n + number-of-additional-scaled-nodes-you-anticipate + 1. With all that in mind the formula to calculate the number of IPs required for your cluster should look like this:
I’m a proud owner of a Surafe Pro X SQ2 which is an ARM64 device. If you’ve been reading me, you know I like to tinker with kubernetes and therefore I needed a solution for this device.
I remembered reading about k3s a lightweight kubernetes distro built for IoT & Edge computing, and decided to give it a try.
This morning I saw this tweet from Mr Brendan Burns:

Hacktoberfest® is an open global event where people all around de globe contribute to open source projects.
The idea behind Hacktoberfest® is great, in my opinion it encourages and motivates contributions specially from those who don’t know where to start with OSS, but saddly what we saw this year was many people, let’s call them trolls, spamming repos with useless pull requests in order to claim the nice tee. The Hacktoberfest® organization reacted quickly to fix the situation and the rules of the game have been changed: the event is now offically opt-in only for projects and mantainers.
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.
¿habéis visto todas las novedades del Ignite? Bueno, si no es así, estamos de enhorabuena porque nos hemos liado a la manta para contaros las novedades con el siguiente equipo:
Carlos Mendible Josue Yeray Julián Santiago Porras David Vidal Sergio Parra Sergio Hernández Alberto Diaz Victor Estival
Como cada año CATzure organiza una mesa redonda con los mejores expertos de Azure de España para conversar sobre el cloud, desarrollo y todo aquello que os aptezca.
Esta mesa redonda estuvo compuesta por:
Carlos Lande Carlos Mendible Elena Salcedo Pallo Ana Maria Bisbe Nacho Fanjul Fernando Escolar Carles Alonso
Aprende junto a Carlos que es Dapr, y como utilizar este nuevo runtime para desarrollar soluciones basadas en microservicios, entendiendo como resuleve los retos que implican las nuevas arquitecturas, tanto en cloud como en edge: resiliencia, gestión de estado, secretos, eventos, service discovery, etc…
En noviembre de 2019, algunos de los mejores desarrolladores de GitHub lanzaron la beta de GitHub Actions, la solución para CI/CD de GitHub. No tardo en popularizarse entre los mejores desarrolladores de cualquier entorno…
Si te apetece usarlo y puedes permitírtelo, mirate este video donde acompaño a Sergion Navarro Pino:
¿Quieres conocer a un MVP desde dentro? El programa Microsoft Most Valuable Professional es un premio otorgado por Microsoft a los líderes más valiosos en las comunidades destacados como reconocimiento a su labor voluntaria en compartir sus conocimientos en la comunidad.
En este webinar con formato entrevista, Carlos Mendible, Microsoft MVP Azure & Developer Technologies, nos cuenta su trayectoria profesional, nos da sus consejos y sus puntos de vista de la situación del mercado actual.
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.
Durante esta sesión veremos cuál es el estado del arte en el mundo de los Containers y Azure, hablaremos de buenas prácticas, recomendaciones y retos a la hora de trabajar con containers, así como de qué puntos clave hay que tener en cuenta. Nuestros expertos cuentan con una amplia experiencia en el tema, y abordan también situaciones como containers vs serverless, DevOps y containers o qué hacer y qué no hacer si estás empezando.
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.
In this post I’ll show you how to expose your “Daprized” applications using and NGINX ingress controller.
