Azure Spring Clean 2022 — wedoAzure
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.

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:

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!

This month I received an exciting email from Microsoft that I was re-awarded for a fourth year now for the 2021 – 2022 Microsoft Most Valuable (MVP) award in Azure. Receiving the Microsoft MVP award is both a humbling and an exciting experience. It means you’re a member of a select group of experts of just over 3,000 MVPs from around the world, but I like to think of it as doing something I’m passionate about with other like minded individuals, having fun and always having something new to learn and share with the community.
The Microsoft MVP Award is an annual award that recognizes exceptional technology community leaders worldwide who actively share their high quality, real world expertise with users and Microsoft. All of us at Microsoft recognize and appreciate Callon’s extraordinary contributions and want to take this opportunity to share our appreciation with you.
The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award Team
Microsoft Corporation
Since becoming a Microsoft MVP, I’ve learned a lot about the community and continued to share my passion, knowledge and experience within the community around Architecture and Development in Azure, Serverless, and DevOps technologies. I also keep a keen eye on what’s happening on the data technologies like Cosmos DB and Azure SQL.
Once again the MVP Summit back in March was virtual due to COVID-19, but with a little luck I’m hoping for an in person experience in 2022. This is an amazing experience to connect with the product teams and MVPs from around the world – even if it was virtually this year.
If you’re interested in learning about the Microsoft MVP program and seeing what it takes to become a Microsoft MVP, or how to get awarded, I encourage you to take a look at the Microsoft MVP website and also the following article on “How to become a Microsoft MVP” where they explain some of the details of the program.
To wrap up this post I would like to congratulate all the other newly awarded, or renewed Microsoft MVP’s all over the world! You truly are an amazing community and I’m truly humbled and honored to be part of this group.
Enjoy!
