Demonstrating creating EventHubs and Identities using the Azure template engine

Create resources in Azure using the Azure Portal Template UI. We created a resource group with a Namespace and individual EventHubs in another video. Then I exported the resource group contents to a JSON file. Here we load that JSON file into another Resource Group to recreate the EventHubs and their associated identities and security settings.

The code for this discussion came out of working on a different blog posting. 

 

The exported template is mostly hardcoded. You will want to parameterize any names that might vary by environment by reuse of the template for other purposes.

Understanding your WSL2 RAM and swap - Changing the default 50%-25%

Image
The Windows Subsystem for Linux operates as a virtual machine that can dynamically grow the amount of RAM to a maximum set at startup time.  Microsoft sets a default maximum RAM available to 50% of the physical memory and a swap-space that is 1/4 of the maximum WSL RAM.  You can scale those numbers up or down to allocate more or less RAM to the Linux instance. The first drawing shows the default WSL memory and swap space sizing. The images below show a developer machine that is running a dev environment in WSL2 and Docker Desktop.  Docker Desktop has two of its own WSL modules that need to be accounted for.  You can see that the memory would actually be oversubscribed, 3 x 50% if every VM used its maximum memory.  The actual amount of memory used is significantly smaller allowing every piece to fit. Click to Enlarge The second drawing shows the memory allocation on my 64GB laptop. WSL Linux defaults to a maximum RAM size of 5

DNS for Azure Point to Site (P2S) VPN - getting the internal IPs

Image
I wanted to access all my Azure resources without making any of them visible to the Internet.   The easiest give my local machine access to everything on my Azure Virtual Network (VNET) was to connect to it over VPN. It turns out creating Azure VPN gateways and connecting to Azure VPN endpoints is easy.  There are some subtleties in getting DNS name resolution to work that can confuse when first starting out. Setting the Stage There are a few ways to get to Azure endpoints and resources that are blocked from the internet.  We can  Create a Point-to-Site connection from our local machines to Azure Network Gateways Create a Site-to-Site network connection from our local networks to Azure Network Gateways. Use Bastion Hosts Use Cloud Shell Leave everything open to the internet. I chose a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN connection that connects from my laptop to a VNet Gateway.  That joins my laptop

Accelerate Storage Spaces with SSDs in Windows 10 Storage Pool tiers

Image
Create Storage Spaces in Windows 10 Windows Server O/S contains Storage Spaces support for Server Spaces tiered storage. You can front slower spinning disks with smaller faster SSDs. Windows 10 has a Storage Spaces GUI Control Panel that does not include the tiered storage GUI. This means Powershell must be used for all configuration. https://github.com/freemansoft/win10-storage-spaces  contains scripts that create tiered storage pools that integrate SSDs as caching drives and HDDs as storage drives. They assume you have at least one SSD and one HDD. The scripts automatically find all raw drives and add them to the pool. Some HDDs have their types incorrectly identified. The script can coerce them to be MediaType:HDD The entire virtual drive is added to the system as a single large volume You need at least 1 SSD and 1 HDD to run cached storage / Simple resiliency 2 SSD and 2 HDD to run cached storage / Mirror resiliency / 1 SSD and 2 HDD to run cached storage / Simple re
