Where IT Leaders Share Ideas
10th Magnitude consultants Scott Nowicki and Nate Burleson attended Microsoft’s Build 2016 developer conference and came away thinking, ”It’s a new Microsoft, for sure. It’s a different company.” In this video, they share their top Build highlights in a lunch and learn session with the 10th Magnitude team.
For those of you like me who are fans of Git + TeamCity, you’ll notice an immediate gap in the documentation provided by Microsoft on how to deploy to a Service Fabric cluster. Microsoft strongly encourages using Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS), which is fine, but it leaves some blanks to fill in for those of us who don’t have that option. Luckily the steps to set this up are fairly similar and only take a small adjustment.
Included with every Microsoft Azure Service Fabric Actor and Service is a nice little settings.xml file that you may have considered using to store configuration values for your actors and services. Unfortunately, the documentation on how this file can be used is a bit lacking, so after hitting my head against it for a couple days, I figured out how it can be used so you don’t have to!
In this Epicenter video, Ryan Lee, Cloud Consultant at 10th Magnitude, and contributor to the DC/OS project at Mesosphere, demos how to install DC/OS on Azure, how to get frameworks like Spark and Kafka up and running with a single command in the UI or CLI, and how easy it is to run containers at large scale
In this episode of the Manhattans Project, special guests Matt Watson and Jason Taylor from Stackify join me to talk about their new free development monitoring utility, Prefix. What is Prefix, and what makes it “The Developer’s Sidekick?” How can it be used to repair application code problems in real time, and how does that complement a DevOps workflow? Let’s find out!
We are incredibly happy to announce a new webseries from 10th Magnitude! Joining “The Manhattans Project,” our casual cloud discussion series, “Epicenter” is a new video series that will offer more technical and instructional content. Epicenter will include tutorials and demos, webinar-style presentations, and technical deep dives from special guests and our own cloud technology experts.
