In the previous article, we have configured an availability set with Azure Load balancer where we configured everything manually for Availability Set. In this article, we are deploying and configuring VM Scale Sets which use Auto scale based on predefined metrics. Adding and removing VMs automatically based on predefined metrics. You control what metrics to monitor, such as CPU or […]

According to Microsoft definition, “An availability set is a group of virtual machines that are deployed across fault domains and update domains. Availability sets make sure that your application is not affected by single points of failure, like the network switch or the power unit of a rack of servers.”Each virtual machine is assigned an update domain and a fault […]

Microsoft love Linux. Linux operating systems fully supported in Azure public cloud. There are 2 ways to connect Linux VM in Azure; via a user name and password and via a public / private key. Using a public /private key is the recommended option to securely connect to the Linux based VMs. To create a public/ private key pair, you […]

Microsoft Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS load-balancing solution in Azure. It controls the distribution of user traffic for service endpoints in different datacenters. Service endpoints supported by Traffic Manager include Azure VMs, Web Apps, and Cloud services etc. Traffic Manager uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to direct client requests to the most appropriate endpoint based on a traffic-routing […]

A Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN create a secure connection to an Azure virtual network from individual computer via Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) tunnel over the Internet. A P2S VPN is an important when you have a small number of clients computers that you need to connect to an Azure virtual network from any location from the Internet. You do not […]

In the previous article, you have configured Azure VNet peering that connects Azure virtual network within the same Azure region through Azure backbone network. This time, you can use a VNet-to-VNet to connect Azure virtual networks in two different Azure regions. Using VNet-to-VNet is similar to a site-to-site VPN. In site-to-site VPN, traffic does traverse the internet but in VNet-to-VNet […]

VNet peering is a mechanism that connects Azure networks (VNets) within the same Azure region through Azure backbone network. Once peered, virtual networks will work as a single network and resources can be accessed from both VNets via private IP addresses. VNet peering routes packets between virtual networks through the internal Azure backbone network. So VNet has not require Azure […]

Azure virtual network is the core component of Azure networking. It represents your own network in the cloud. Planning an IP addressing scheme within an Azure virtual network is similar to planning an on-premises IP addressing scheme. You can fully control your Azure network setting and define DHCP address blocks, DNS settings, security policies, and define routes to control network […]

Azure virtual machines use disks to store the VMs operating system, applications and data. When an Azure virtual machine is created, two disks are automatically attached to the virtual machine. The Operating system disk and Temporary disk. The default OS drive letter is C: and size is 127 GB. When an Azure virtual machine OS disk is out of space, […]

In this article, you are creating a new Windows virtual machine and Availability set at the same time using the Azure portal. An Availability sets provide redundancy to your application during downtime, such as during maintenance. We need at least two or more similarly configured virtual machines in an availability set. The primary purpose of an availability set is to […]
