We Live in the Cloud 3D Tour
You can also take a 3D virtual tour over at We Live in the Cloud which is pretty neat for learning about what’s inside Azure data centers. Did you know that Microsoft has over 4 million servers that contain over 40 million hard disks and solid-state drives, totally over 40 exabytes of storage capacity.

Beginning gRPC with ASP.NET Core 6: Build Applications using ASP.NET Core Razor Pages, Angular, and Best Practices in .NET 6
My good friend Anthony Giretti, a Microsoft MVP in Developer Technologies has recently published his book “Beginning gRPC with ASP.NET Core 6″ and I wanted to share the news with the community.
About the book
Beginning gRPC with ASP.NET Core 6 is your guide to quickly and efficiently getting down to the business of building gRPC applications in the Microsoft .NET ecosystem. Readers will dive in and build an application using gRPC and the latest technologies such Angular and ASP.NET Core Razor Pages.
This book will teach you how to set up an efficient application using industry best practices such as security, monitoring, logging, testing, and more. You will do this by performing Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on a SQL Server database with Entity Framework Core. From there you will build web applications using Angular and ASP.NET Core Razor pages combined with gRPC APIs.After reading the book, you’ll be able to take advantage of the full range of developer opportunities with gRPC, and come away with any understanding of which usage scenarios are best suited for your projects. And you will possess a solid understanding of the best way to build APIs with ASP.NET Core.
What You Will Learn
- Benefit from a new way to design APIs
- Build modern web applications
- Migrate easily from WCF to gRPC
- Become comfortable with latest industry programming standards

Azurite emulator cannot be started
After installing Visual Studio 2022 and working with Azure Functions I noticed that a new storage emulator is being used called Azurite.
Azurite is an open source Azure Storage API compatible server (emulator). Based on Node.js, Azurite provides cross platform experiences for customers wanting to try Azure Storage easily in a local environment. Azurite simulates most of the commands supported by Azure Storage with minimal dependencies.
https://github.com/Azure/Azurite
This seemed to replace the old Azure Storage Emulator you would run previously when doing local development. I quickly came across an issue where the Azurite emulator cannot be started because port 10000 is already in use. This is also applied to ports 10001 and 10002 which it uses. Here are the contents of the Service Dependencies from the Visual Studio 2022 Output pane:

Unable to start dependency 'storage1'.Let’s drop into Windows Terminal and take a look at what process is using that port:
Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 10002).OwningProcess
After stopping the Node process and re-running Azurite (I restarted Visual Studio) we can see everything starts up as expected:

DotNetCore31-FunctionApp: Azurite Table service is successfully listening at http://127.0.0.1:10002This was not a great experience on the first day I started to use Visual Studio 2022 with Azure Functions as I had to go off and figure out why the Azure emulator could not be started instead of just working on my application. You can go and change the default ports ft you like which is mentioned in the documentation. For more information on Azurite check out the docs on their GitHub repository.
I hope this helps with anyone new to the Azurite emulator in Visual Studio 2022.
Enjoy!
