SharePoint 2013: Distributed Cache Services

Image
What is Distributed Cache Services(DCS)? - It is a Platform Service, it runs at the Farm Level.   -- You can decide to run it on all servers in the farm or you can use it to run on a 1 or a couple of servers.   -- Suggest to have dedicate servers for DCS. - It provides in-memory cache for the entire farm. - It is based on Window Server App Fabric Distributed Caching. - It uses to cache Authentication Token(to avoid multiple authentication processes) and MySite Social Feeds. - DCS enable by default and allocate memory based on total memory on your server.   -- You should at least dedicate 50% of RAM or more just to the DCS service for overhead. What is it NOT : - It do not uses Window Azure Cache services and thus it cache on local server (no cloud). - It uses Window Server App Fabric version that comes together with the installer: You are not recommended download any version from Microsoft and upgrade it independently.  - You are not recommende...

AWS: On Demand Capacity Reservation (ODCR) and preventing Insufficient Capacity Error (ICE)

 What is ODCR, and why does it matter? On-Demand Capacity Reservation is one of the ways how we can reserve capacity on AWS. This feature helped to reserved capacity especially the large EC2 instance or special instances like (P series) that is very little in the Availability Zones (AZ). The service will not charge you if you have an EC2 running 24 by 7. It will ensure when you need to start/stop your EC2, the same instance family/types for that particular AZ are reserved for you. It is not commitment-based, like a Reserved Instance or Saving Plan, where you need a minimum of 1 year. ODCR is only activated once you enable it in the AWS Console. You can cancel it anytime if you do not needed. What is an Insufficient Capacity Error (ICE)? ICE is an exception where there are not enough EC2 instance families available in a particular Region or AZ. This is not common in AWS, but it has happened before, especially for large EC2 like 32x or special EC2 like P series.  How does ODCR h...

File Structure (Part 1)

Image
There are few ways for people who arrange their folder structures and which i do not wish to invent it. My approach is to arranging my folder structures based on Features not by types What is Type? Angular have alot of types. for example, we have Controller, Services, Directives which are the commonly used. We do not wish to arrange our file structure like this: This file approach is suitable only for SMALL application, for enterprise application, we have tons of Modules and alot of programmers are working on different modules. So before we jump to multiple modules, we should first arrange our file structures by modules. Let say build an intranet application which consists with Employees modules, eTimelog modules and eLeave modules. I would like also to create main folder to stores all my framework (layout, sidebar, navigationbar, footer-bar etc on my site. here is my simple file structure: - common: putting all my modal, services\repositories\utilities class to be...
