Stopping unattended-upgrades in Azure Ubuntu VMSS
Issue
Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) has a feature called Automatic OS image upgrade which allows you to automatically upgrade the virtual machine instances in the VMSS to the latest OS image. Automatic OS image upgrades are not always desirable and there are a lot of scenarios where you would like to manually control these upgrades.
Setting up a Kubernetes Cluster on a Windows laptop using Hyper-V
For a developer, Minikube is a very good tool to run Kubernetes locally. But having access to an actual Kubernetes Cluster is always fun. This is an account of how I setup a Single Master Kubernetes Cluster on my Windows laptop using VMs running on Hyper-V.
Azure ARM : InvalidParameter certificateUrl - It should be in the format
Azure ARM templates can refer to certificates from an Azure Key Vault. Earlier this required us to upload the certificate into the Key Vault as a JSON object and refer to the secret as described in https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-vm-push-certificate-windows .

Azure Service Fabric : Replica had multiple failures ... Error = System.MissingMethodException (-2146233069)
When you deploy a Service Fabric Application to a Service Fabric Cluster, the application fails and ends up with Health State as Error. A health state of Error means the Service Fabric Cluster could not successfully spawn up the necessary number of service instances. One reason why this could happen is because of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric SDK version mismatch. In such cases you will see error messages with exception System.MissingMethodException
Bencode2Json : A .NET Core Library for converting Bencoded Dictionaries to Json Documents.
A BitTorrent metadata file (.torrent) is a Bencoded Dictionary. The file is basically a dictionary of data like the Tracker URL and File Pieces which a BitTorrent client can parse. Bencode is a simple ‘cross-platform safe’ encoding that the (.torrent) files use so that they can be parsed across multiple OS platforms.
