SSL done the right way
This time I decided to devote a separate topic to generate a Private Key and CSR. In the world of DevOps, security certificates are something you deal with on a daily basis, so knowing how to get an SSL certificate and convert it into a proper format is critical. Despite many similar topics over the internet, people still can’t make heads and tails around this theme and the explanation below is

The theory of control
The idea to write this topic came to me after a production system failure we experienced recently. Failures are unavoidable. Nothing is worse than having your business application down without the proper way to mitigate the issue. That’s exactly how the catastrophe may develop, i.e. due to the somebody's negligence, lack of experience, bugs sneaked into the software, natural disaster, hacker

DevOps Friday: Build a deployment pipeline using K8s secrets
Continuing the series about Kubernetes, this time I’d like to talk more about the applied approach using this platform. This article demonstrates even more how Dev and Ops are tied together. Everything related to K8s deployments is interesting, and this time, the issue I was facing was quite unusual.

Agile teams typically configure CI to include automated compilation, unit test execution, and

C# on steroids or what’s new in C# 7.0?
Before talking about new stuff in C# and .NET Framework overall, it would be good to see how the platform evolved over the time (e.g. since the first release in 2002). A lot has been changed since, meaning that .NET became platform-agnostic and very mature platform for Enterprise-grade software development. Figure 1. C# Language evolution As you see from the scheme, every version brought

Creating a Service Principal for VSTS endpoint
Imagine a situation where you have to manage multiple Azure subscriptions (that belong to different tenants), not only for your organization but also for your company’s clients. In the software development process, you can host VSTS (Visual Studio Team Services) on your organization’s Azure account and deploy to customers’ subscriptions (which is quite a widespread use case).
