101 on AKS defaults, nodes, pods and stuff

I know this blog post is long overdue. No excuses. Been to busy lazy.

Thanks for being here, let’s start with 101 on AKS defaults, nodes, pods and stuff.

Set Up Kubernetes Cluster Playground With Azure Virtual Machines and CLI

I’m going to write some blog posts about my Kubernetes adventures, and the first thing I wanted to do, was to set up some scripts to build up a simple Kubernetes environment to play with. I will of course also play around with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), but I also want to run some experiments with control plane. This means I need to build my own cluster, as control plane in AKS is provided as a managed Azure service.

Custom 404 error page, Hugo and Azure Static Web Apps

In this blog post I will show you how to configure custom 404 error page, for a Hugo site hosted in Azure Static Web Apps. (In case you don’t know what 404 (Not Found) error is, it’s an HTTP status code which means that the page you were trying to reach on a website couldn’t be found on the server, altough the server itself is reachable.)

Using VS Code with Git Integration

Looking for a guide to help you get started using Visual Studio Code with GitHub or some other version control system? In that case you are in a right place.

How to Use Staging in Azure Static Web Apps

TL;DR. Azure Static Web Apps Preview offers staging (pre-production) environments for applications.

What is a staging environment and why should I care?

Staging environment is a fully-functional staged version of your application. Imagine that you want to make a small change to a layout of the site. You change the css file and push the code into production. All done and well. What if you made a typo and broke the layout of the site? Maybe that’s not a big issue for a small site like this. Imagine doing this for a large site. Or, what if you made that small change to function call handling shopping cart and made it impossible to make purchases from your site.

Gitting started - Git Cheat Sheet

I know there are already bunch of Git cheat sheets all around The Internets, but this one is something I have gathered and kept close to me while getting started with git on my (continuing) journey from an ops guy to a devops guy. And if you happened to bump into this page after searching for “git cheat sheet”, I believe you’ll find relevant information for you.

We're Live and Kicking in Azure Static Web Apps

Actually I think that the title should include one more word, finally. Anyways, the site is live and kicking! And in this post I’ll briefly explain how we got here.

Welcome to building[4]

I’ve been thinking about starting my own blog for the looongest time, but I “never” seemed to have time to do it. Yeah, I know, it’s just a terrible excuse. But better late than never, right? And you can’t believe how hard it was for me to even decide the name of the blog. It took forever, and another one while selecting the which tools and theme to use. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Note to self: just get started with it!
