Easily Navigate Large Azure DevOps Pipelines

When an Azure DevOps pipeline contains hundreds of stages, navigating the pipeline UI can become challenging for several reasons.

• * Finding a specific stage among hundreds can be difficult.
• * Extensive horizontal and vertical scrolling is often required.
• * Failed stages are harder to identify in a large pipeline.
• * Navigation more difficult for users.

To address these challenges, Azure DevOps has introduced a new feature that makes navigating large pipelines much easier.

Prerequisites:

An Azure DevOps pipeline with multiple stages.

Managing Kubernetes Clusters Efficiently with K9s Terminal UI

When working with multiple Kubernetes clusters, administrators and developers often use kubectl commands and kube config contexts to switch between clusters. While this is a powerful approach, it requires users to remember various commands and context names, which can become difficult as the number of clusters grows.

For those who prefer a more interactive way to manage Kubernetes environments, tools with user-friendly interfaces can simplify day to day operations. In this blog, we will learn about K9s, a terminal based user interface that provides an efficient way to interact with Kubernetes clusters. K9s enables users to navigate resources, monitor workloads, view logs, and manage clusters directly from the terminal.

Prerequisites: This blog is demonstrated on Windows, and Chocolatey should be installed on your machine.
