Windows server 2012: where is my start button??

If you have been using Windows Server OS for a while, the one thing that will strike you most when you login to a Windows server 2012 is that there is no start button!!.. What??..How am I going to manage it?? Microsoft feels that you really dont need a start button, since you can do almost everything from your server  manager or even remotely from your desktop. After all the initial configurations are done, you could also do away with the GUI and go back to server core option.(In server 2012, there is an option to add and remove GUI). So does that mean, you need to learn to live without a start button. Actually no, the start button is very much there .Lets start looking for it. Option 1: There is "charms" bar on the side of your deskop, where you will find a "start" option. You can use the "Windows +C" shortcut to pop out the charms bar Option 2: There is a hidden "start area"in  the bottom left corner of your desktop

Kubernetes best practices in Azure: AKS name space isolation and AAD integration

Once you have decided to run your workloads in AKS service in Azure, there are certain best practices to be followed during design and implementation. In this blog we will discuss two of these recommended practices and the practical aspects of their implementation- Azure AD integration and name space isolation While AAD helps to authenticate users to your AKS cluster using the existing users and groups in your Azure AD, name space isolation provides logical isolation of resources used by them. It is useful in multi tenant scenarios where the same cluster is being used by different teams/departments to run their workloads. It is also useful in running say a dev, test and QA environment for organization in the same cluster. Combining AAD integration with name spaces allow users to login to their namespace using their Azure AD credentials AAD integration with AKS : The following Microsoft document will get you started  with AAD integration of AKS cluster.: https://docs.microsof
