GitHub Copilot Customization Explained for Beginners: Instructions, Prompt Files, Skills, Agents, and Hooks Introduction If you've recently started using GitHub Copilot, you've probably come across terms like Instructions , Prompt Files , Skills , Agents , and Hooks . At first glance, they all seem to do the same thing—they tell Copilot what to do. So why does GitHub have five different customization features? The answer is simple: each feature solves a different problem. Think of GitHub Copilot as a new developer joining your team. On their first day, you don't just hand them code. You explain your coding standards, give them reusable templates, teach them specialized knowledge, assign them a role, and automate repetitive tasks. That's exactly how GitHub Copilot customization works. In this article, you'll learn what each feature does, when to use it, and how they all work together. By the end, you'll know which feature to start with and which ones can wait un...
Disable Azure function for v1 and v2
Disabling an Azure function has a bug in v1, which is fixed
in v2. Below I have made an attempt to explain with both version how it works.
Azure function v2
Enable or disable Azure function bug is fixed in Azure
Function v2. Now things are driven through portal using the below setting
Azure function v1
Recently we had an issue in Production application, due
to business reason we had to stop one of the Azure functions.
We used Azure function app service running on App service
plan and function is Time triggered.
We tried with option available in Azure portal under
functions where it lists all the functions available in the App service plan with
status as shown below. For the Azure function we wanted to stop, we chose
Disable option.
However, immediately we noticed that the function was still
running, and the function monitor showed those further executions.
Solution:
Below are the 3 options
Approach 1:
Requires code change where we need to add “Disable”
attribute and requires code to be redeployed.
Approach 2:
Preferred option while developing Azure function
needs to be considered.
This method lets you enable and disable the function by
changing the app setting, without recompiling or redeploying. Changing an app
setting causes the function app to restart, so the disabled state change is
recognized immediately.
Approach 3:
If approach 2 is not considered during implementation at the
same time don’t want to do a deployment to Production a work around option will
be to rename the dll name from the Azure portal. No release required with this
option.

Automate Certificate Issue and Renewal process - k8s cluster
In this blog post, we will see if you have an existing or new Kubernetes cluster with Ingress resources how do we auto-renew the certificates. If it's not auto-renewed things need to be manually done e.g. every three months you have to renew certificates, delete the expired certificate and secret, update with new certificate secrets accordingly. Manual is always tedious and not an ideal solution especially for your Test & Production environment. Pre-requisites Install and setup kubectl Install and setup Helm Kubernetes cluster already provisioned with Ingress resources. Note: The scope of the blog post is to show how the certificate renewal process can be automated, the same logic can be moved to your Deployment pipelines. Install Cert Manager Installing Cert-Manager CRDs using the below command. #For Kubernetes 1.15+ kubectl apply --validate = false \ -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/downloa...
Tidy up - Unused Project and Nuget package reference using Visual Studio 2019
If you are a Developer/Architect using Visual Studio as IDE for your development activities, this blog post will be of your interest. During the Ignite 2021 conference, Microsoft released Visual Studio 2019 v16.9 and v16.10 Preview 1. As part of version 16.10 Preview 1, one of the cool features they introduced is to "Remove Unused References..." for any Projects and Nuget packages that are not in use. At the time of writing this blog post, we have Visual Studio Version 16.10.0 (official release) which includes this new feature. As part of development, we generally get carried away and introduce new Nuget package references to your project and add new references to your Projects. By the end of development, you will not be 100% sure which are not being referenced and unused which means you will leave those unused project references in your application. Now you might be wondering what's the big deal in it since it doesn't harm. The advantage of removing unused project r...
Authenticate Azure Functions - API Keys
In this blog post, we will see one of the ways to secure your Azure Functions using API keys. Security plays a key role as part of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) doesn't matter whether it's exposed to the client/public or even if it's internal. There are multiple ways to secure your Azure Functions like API Keys, Certificate, API Mgmt, App Service Authentication, etc. If you are new to the Cloud and Azure Functions but want to make a start with minimal effort and less setup of Infrastructure, then API Keys is the ideal choice. Azure Functions allows you to secure HTTP-triggered functions by API access key in the request. As part of creating new Azure Functions, we can select the Authorization Level enum value. If we set the Authorisation level to Anonymous, no security applied which means no authentication applied for the endpoint. Authorization Level - Function By setting the Authorisation level to Function each Azure Functions require a specific API key to Au...
