After you've installed the .NET Upgrade Assistant CLI tool, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory that contains the project you want to upgrade. You can use the upgrade-assistant --help command to see the available options the CLI provides.
Run the tool with the upgrade-assistant upgrade command, all of the projects from the current folder and below, are listed. The CLI tool provides an interactive way of choosing which project to upgrade. Use the arrow keys to select an item, and press Enter to run the item. Select the project you want to upgrade. In the example provided by this article, there are four projects under the current folder:
Add an account for Home Assistant Core called homeassistant.Since this account is only for running Home Assistant Core the extra arguments of -rm is added to create a system account and create a home directory.
Once you have activated the virtual environment (notice the prompt change to (homeassistant) homeassistant@raspberrypi:/srv/homeassistant $) you will need to run the following command to install a required Python package.
Start Home Assistant Core for the first time. This will complete the installation for you, automatically creating the .homeassistant configuration directory in the /home/homeassistant directory, and installing any basic dependencies.
The Windows to Linux replatforming assistant for Microsoft SQL Server Databases service is a scripting tool. It helps you move existing Microsoft SQL Server workloads from a Windows to a Linux operating system. You can use the replatforming assistant with any Windows Server virtual machines (VMs) hosted in the cloud, or with on-premises environments running Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and later. The tool checks for common incompatibilities, exports databases from the Windows VM, and imports into an EC2 instance running Microsoft SQL Server 2017 on Ubuntu 16.04. The automated process results in a ready-to-use Linux VM configured with your selected SQL Server databases that can be used for experimenting and testing.
AWS Systems Manager (Systems Manager) gives you visibility and control of your infrastructure on AWS. The Windows to Linux replatforming assistant for Microsoft SQL Server Databases uses Systems Manager to move your Microsoft SQL databases to Microsoft SQL Server on EC2 Linux. For more information about Systems Manager, see the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.
Windows to Linux replatforming assistant for Microsoft SQL Server Databases allows you to migrate your Microsoft SQL Server databases from an on-premises environment or from an EC2 Windows instance to Microsoft SQL Server 2017 on EC2 Linux using backup and restore. For the destination EC2 Linux instance, you provide either the EC2 instance ID or the EC2 instance type with the subnet ID and EC2 Key Pair.
When you run the PowerShell script for the Windows to Linux replatforming assistant for Microsoft SQL Server Databases on the source Microsoft SQL Server databases, the Windows instance backs up the databases to an encrypted Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) storage bucket. It then restores the backups to an existing Microsoft SQL Server on EC2 Linux instance, or it launches a new Microsoft SQL Server on EC2 Linux instance and restores the backups to the newly created instance. This process can be used to replatform your 2-tier databases running enterprise applications. It also enables you to replicate your database to Microsoft SQL Server on Linux to test the application while the source Microsoft SQL Server remains online. After testing, you can schedule application downtime and rerun the PowerShell backup script during your final cutover.
The Windows Web Application Migration Assistant is an interactive PowerShell script that migrates entire websites and their configurations to Elastic Beanstalk. The migration assistant is available as an open-source project on GitHub, and can migrate entire ASP.NET applications running on .NET Framework in Windows, as well as on ASP.NET Core. Elastic Beanstalk also runs ASP.NET Core applications on Windows platform. For ASP.NET applications, you can use this tool to migrate both classic Web Forms applications, as well as ASP.NET MVC apps.
The Windows Web Application Migration Assistant allows you to migrate your database(s) during or after migration of web applications. In either case, your migrated web applications should be modified to point any connection strings to the new database endpoints. The migration assistant script also helps you to modify connection strings.
The migration assistant is a PowerShell script. Open a PowerShell window as administrator in your web server and run the MigrateIISWebsiteToElasticBeanstalk.ps1 script. Assuming you have copied the content of the GitHub package to your C: drive, launching the script looks as follows:
Having acquired access credentials, the assistant script then prompts you to enter an AWS Region. Enter the identifier of the AWS Region in which you want your migrated web application to run. If you are not sure which values can be used, check the list of available Regions using following cmdlet (in another PowerShell window):
After specifying the Region, the migration assistant script starts scanning your web server for deployed web applications. You can then choose one of the discovered web applications by entering its application number as shown in the list.
Once you enter the number of the web application that has to migrate, the assistant takes a snapshot of your environment and lists any connection strings used by your application. To update a connection string, enter its number. Optionally, you could choose Enter to skip this step, but remember to manually update connection strings, if any, before bringing the web application online.
The assistant then prompts you to update any connection strings selected above. If you choose M, you can update the string manually by editing it in the file path provided by the migration assistant. Otherwise, paste the contents of the new connection string and choose Enter.
By default, the migration assistant automatically creates an environment with a name prefixed with MigrationRun. It also creates a package containing your web application files. This package is called application source bundle. The migration assistant uploads this source bundle as a version inside the Elastic Beanstalk application.
Elastic Beanstalk automatically provisions an Amazon EC2 instance to host your web application. The default Amazon EC2 instance type is t3.medium. When the migration assistant prompts you to enter the instance type, you can choose Enter to accept the default size, or you can enter any other Amazon EC2 Instance Type.
If you use the steps described in this post to test the migration assistant, it creates resources in your AWS account. You keep getting charged for these resources if they go beyond the free tier limit. To avoid that, you can delete resources to stop being billed for them. This is as easy as going to the Elastic Beanstalk console and deleting any applications that you no longer want.
Voice assistants were the pinnacle of AI about a decade ago, but with the rise of generative AI, they have remained somewhat obsolete. Despite needing an upgrade, Google has neglected its voice assistant to pursue more ambitious projects like its Google Bard chatbot -- until now.
Next, Google tackles one of the most annoying problems with voice assistants -- its failure to understand what users say when dictating a text. This issue typically forces users to use very calculated, almost robotic speech when dictating a text to ensure they are understood.
In addition, when you are dictating your message, you will be able to write messages twice as fast, eliminating the typical lag there is between you speaking and the assistant processing what you said.
