Sonatype Nexus supports the Repository Manager integration with various active directory systems for authentication, such as Microsoft Exchange / Active Directory, OpenLDAP, ApacheDS, and others. In order to use LDAP authentication in the nexus repository manager, we will need to add the LDAP Authentication Realm by navigating to the realms…

Stateful sets are similar to deployments, they can scale up and scale down, they can perform rolling updates etc. All most it performs similar functions like replica sets and deployment sets. but there some difference as well, in stateful sets pods are created in a sequential order, that means when…

In the previous blog we would have seen what GitHub is, who started this project and how it evolved over time. We discussed about how it is different from Git, even though GitHub is created from Git, it provides lot of other functionalities for carry out DevOps practices. We also…

If you want to access the SonarQube server with LDAP credentials (i.e. with Active Directory Credentials), we need to integrate the SonarQube with LDAP servers. Now, in this article we will discuss the integration process of LDAP with SonarQube. We need to install an LDAP plugin for integration process. This…

If any organization has an LDAP directory service such as Active Directory, then GitLab can be configured to allow your users to sign with their LDAP credentials (i.e. Active Directory Credentials). The first time a user signs in with LDAP credentials, GitLab will create a new GitLab user associated with…

Scenario – You are trying to assign a work item to your colleague but unable to assign as it shows an error – “Sign-in required” as you type the username.     Solution –  Suppose you have tried clearing cache and logging in again to Azure DevOps portal and this…

Let us check what is Git and GitHub and how they work. To understand this, let us imagine a scenario where we are writing a document or a piece of software or app or just an essay or poem. When we start to write or develop we create the file(s)…

Till now I have given blogs on k8s objects, services, namespaces, ingress etc. but where to execute and implement all those, yes, we need a k8s cluster for that, if you have it already go n execute, if not, here is the solution for you. Execute below commands to configure…

If you have deployed different applications on k8s cluster using various objects like deployments, pods, services etc. all the info about cluster is stored into ETCD cluster. If your application is using persistent storage that will be considered as another backup scenario. We will be creating different resources either using…

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is commonly used for open source and commercial software development. GitHub is a web-based service for version control using Git. Basically, it is a social code-hosting…

Taints and tolerations are used to restrict the pods to schedule them onto respective nodes. There is nothing to do with security. If no restrictions are applied K8s scheduler places the pods in all respective nodes equally to balance all the pods Assume we have certain resources assigned for application…

Assume you have 3 nodes cluster of which two of them are having lower hardware resources and one of them is larger node configured with higher resources, and there are different kinds of workloads running in our cluster, and you would like to dedicate data-processing workloads that require higher horse…

The k8s node affinity feature is to ensure pods are hosted on a particular node. As mentioned in previous blog large data processing nodes are into node-1. we achieved that using node selectors. As I mentioned that we cannot provide advance expressions like large or medium / not in small…

Ingress is a resource, which exposes the http and https from external sources to the services within the cluster, by adding the rules in the ingress resource for routing the traffic, where traffic is controlled by ingress controller. From the above lines we can understand that ingress consists of two…

The Kubernetes RBAC (role bases access control) system helps us in defining set of rules in controlling the access among users across resources. Kubernetes cluster by default has two name spaces, “default” and “kube-system”. Creation of additional namespaces is also possible for organizing and separation of work based on our…

To understand GitHub, you must first have an understanding of Git. Git is an open-source version control system and GitHub is a cloud-based Git repository hosting service. Essentially, it makes it a lot easier for individuals and teams to use Git for version control and collaboration. In this article, we…

Nearly all versions of the Visual Studio IDE provide integration features for source control. Git Client is directly built into all the latest versions of Visual Studio IDE. This documentation is about using git in Visual Studio 2019 version. Git Cloning Process: – 1. All features relevant to Git are available…

A default namespace is created automatically when the cluster is being setup. To isolate or prevent a user from accidentally deleting the services, Kubernetes creates certain pods for its internal purpose like networking solution, DNS service etc. Kubernetes creates them under another namespace which is created at cluster startup named…

In this article, we’ll briefly focus on services and blue-green deployment strategy. What is a service in Kubernetes? A service is responsible for making our pods discoverable inside the network or exposing them to the internet. A service identifies pods by its LabelSelector. What are the types of services? Cluster…

In this article, we will learn about the basic objects of Kubernetes in detail with their respective YAML files. POD Replication Controller Replica Set Daemon Set Deployment Service Volume Job POD A pod is a basic unit of K8S. Pod always run on node. In K8S cluster Pod represents running…

Windows Service in C#: This article is about how to create a Windows Service in C# .net using Visual Studio. Windows Services: Windows services are the executable applications which run in the background and doesn’t contain any user interface. Windows services can be scheduled to run automatically whenever operating system…

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is a modern development tool for building SQL Server relational databases, Azure SQL Databases, Analysis Services (AS) data models, Integration Services (IS) packages, and Reporting Services (RS) reports, which comes integrated with Visual Studio. With SSDT, you can design and deploy any SQL Server data models…

Trust you and your teams are safe!   The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has affected lives around the world and has been a crisis for all sectors.  The global pandemic continues to impact organizations – big or small and their customer base. It has thrown a couple of twists –…
