Azure Service Fabric : Deploying your first container…

Introduction

In the past I’ve already done several posts about containers. This by using various orchestrators & workflow management tools. Today’s post will be about deploying a Linux container with Service Fabric… The main goals is to provide you with the look & feel of the initial steps. In a future posts, I’ll delve into the more advanced stuff (like data persistence & inter-container connectivity).

10 years… Time goes fast!

WOW, really… WOW! It has been 10 years since I started my blog…! And here we are… more than 500 posts later. With more than 300 comments being posted. At the moment this blog has about 7000 visitors per month. My head still cannot fanthom this.

When I first started it was a kind of attempt to document things I discovered. As someone who has been an active member of the OSS community, I’ve always seen given back to the community as a task of everyone. I often joke that my job is “google premium”. Though when looking at ourselves, we must admit that a big chunk of our job relies on finding the right information. Therefore I always publish my findings online, in the hope that it might help someone else out there. That way we can keep evolving at a great pace. 🙂

 

Anyhow, as closing thought of today ;

Thanks to every single visitor out there!

Welcome to WordPress.com

After having hosted my own blog myself since the beginning, I’ve decided to move to WordPress.com. It might look like an odd choice to make, yet this leaves me without the worries of maintaining (upgrades/upgrades/security/…) of my own.

Restyled!

The last theme was getting a bit old. So the time was right to update it! Most of you have probably already noticed it, so this is merely a shoutout to the RSS-only readers! 😉

LogiTouch

About a month ago I started my own webdesign agency. So after almost 2 years of kvaes.be I’ve took the step towards entrepreneurship!

We focus on the “local” market, providing quality websites at an affordable price. It’s not “yet another high priced” bureau… The OpenSource world provides the means which enables us to provide a very interesting price.

OWA Most Popular – version 0.5

This version contains a bugfix and the new “PostOnly”-feature. By selecting this feature, you won’t be pestered by non-posts in your listing. Examples here are the “Flavicon” & the “Homepage”.

Have fun with the release. Suggestions are always welcome!

WordPress widget : Most popular posts

I wanted a “Most popular post” section on my blog, but after some bad experiences with “Popularity Contest” (by Alex King) I decided to write my own. As I already had a statistical mechanism that provided me with the data (namely OWA), it was a no-brainer to write a small plugin that would use the data gathered by OWA. So after a bit of coding, a bit of testing, and polishing… it was done. You can find the script (with some installation help) here. If you have any feedback about it, let me know!
