Best Practices and Common Use Cases - stevedunn/vogen

Best Practices for vogen:

1. Reuse Code: Code reuse is a best practice that can save time and reduce errors. With vogen, you can create a package of reusable code in the form of a VI library or toolkit. This can include utility VIs, scripting tools, or other useful code that can be easily installed and integrated into future projects. (Source: How to use VIPM effectively – Sweetcode.io)

Code Snippet:

// Reusable code for generating GUIDs
public static class GuidExamples
{
public static Guid NewGuid()
{
return Guid.NewGuid();
}
}

2. Best Practices for cert-manager: When using cert-manager, it’s recommended to use a separate namespace for cert-manager resources, use labels to organize resources, and use the issuer kind for issuing certificates. (Source: Best practices enable teams | HashiCorp Developer)

Code Snippet:

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Issuer
metadata:
name: letsencrypt-prod
namespace: cert-manager
spec:
acme:
# ...

3. Best Practices for Architecting and Automating Infrastructure: When architecting and automating infrastructure, it’s recommended to use infrastructure as code (IaC) tools, version control your IaC scripts, and use immutable infrastructure. (Source: Best practices architect and automate infrastructure | HashiCorp Developer)

Code Snippet: (Dockerfile example)

# Use a multi-stage build to create an immutable image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1 AS build
WORKDIR /app

# Copy the project file and restore dependencies
COPY *.csproj .
RUN dotnet restore

# Copy the source code and build the project
COPY . .
RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o out

# Create the final image
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app/out .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "myapp.dll"]

4. Best Practices for Documentation: When documenting your open source project, it’s recommended to provide an in-production usage guide, list use cases and in-production adopters, and make sure the information is easy to find. (Source: How to write effective documentation for your open source project | Opensource.com)

5. Best Practices for OpenVEX: When using OpenVEX, it’s recommended to use VEX to let users know when a vulnerability has been investigated and whether further action needs to be taken. (Source: What is OpenVEX? Chainguard Academy)

{
"vulnerabilities": [
{
"id": "CVE-2021-1234",
"status": "investigated",
"description": "Description of the vulnerability",
"action": "no further action required"
}
