Azure MP 1.1.238.0

I have implemented the recent Azure MP in a SCOM 2012 R2 environment to monitor a customers Azure subscriptions. Everything has been set up correctly and we are now getting errors into the Console however, there isn't much knowledge available to troubleshoot
the issues;
1. Windows Azure Module Initialization Failure
Failed to initialize DiagnosticsModuleBase`1 module. Please verify the configuration of the workflow.
Subscription ID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Service name: xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx
Invalid parameter: CertificateBlob ()
Inner exception:
Workflow name: Microsoft.SystemCenter.WindowsAzure.RoleInstance.NetworkInterface.BytesSent.CollectData
Instance name: xxx.xxxx.xxxxx..Worker_IN_0
2. Windows Azure Remote Name Resolution Failure
Subscription ID: xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xx
Service name: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-x----xxxxxxxxx
Proxy address:
Exception: Unable to connect to the remote server
Workflow name: many
Instance name: many
Instance ID: many
Management group: XXXXX
Any assistance or pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,
Alert Rule: Windows Azure Remote Name Resolution Failure
In order to track down the typo, you do the following:
Capture the <DNSPrefix you entered> from the event
Using that string, try full and partial searches of your Windows Azure Application list until you find the right one
Again, this assumes that you’re following the best practice I mentioned above of putting the
DNS prefix of the hosted service into the Name of the
Windows Azure Application template
Open its properties and reconcile the information entered for the proxy server
Fix any typos and click OK to apply the changes

Visual Studio Authoring Extensions - MPSimulator crashes

I am using Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 and VSAE to develop custom MPs but can't get past the MP Simulator as it crashes saying it can't find the Azure MP 1.1.238.0 .mp file. I have added a MPB reference to the Azure MP 1.1.238.0. I have tried on my local
machine with the SCOM Agent installed, A colleagues machine with the agent installed and even tried running Visual Studio from the secondary management server?

Hi,
Please also let us know the full error message appeared.
Considering the issue is related to Visual Studio, it is also recommended that you go to the corresponding forum for help:

Error while uploading the files to Azure

Hi All,
we have developed a web site to upload files to the Azure blob storage. i can upload files to Azure directly in my development environment and i hosted the same in the local iis in my pc and it worked. but when i tried to host it to an external iis server.

Remove "sslVersion=3L," from Sample R Code Invoking a Web Service, as a Result of Azure Disabling SSLV3 Support

Hello everyone,
As part of January security updates, Azure has disabled SSLV3.0 support by default for Azure Cloud Services customers, effective 01/19/2015. For details, please check
Security Bulletin.
As a result, the sample code to invoke a web service will not work if SSL version 3.0 is specified. For example, R sample code has
# Accept SSL certificates issued by public Certificate Authorities
options(RCurlOptions = list(sslVersion=3L, cainfo = system.file("CurlSSL", "cacert.pem", package = "RCurl")))
You will hit errors as below
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 191.238.225.148...
* Connected to ussouthcentral.services.azureml.net (191.238.225.148) port 443 (#0)
* successfully set certificate verify locations:
* CAfile: C:/Program Files/R/R-3.1.2/library/RCurl/CurlSSL/cacert.pem
CApath: none
* Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to ussouthcentral.services.azureml.net:443
* Closing connection 0
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :
Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to ussouthcentral.services.azureml.net:443
The mitigation is
Upgrade R client's RCurl package to the latest version (in RStudio, this can be done using Tools -> Check for package updates)
In the sample code, remove sslVersion=3L.
AzureML team is aware of this issue and an update to the sample code is scheduled soon.
Thanks,
Jing

Or, if you want to be explicit, set sslVersion = 1, that also works,
Thanks,
Jing

Custom event details:
Crazy thing is I just added <customErrors mode="Off" /> into web.config and see what error is happening via the web site, and the complication errors magically
went away. Don't know what this assembly truly represents and what it is trying to achieve in our application; there is no such config for our WCF app to use that.
From what I read it seems that machine.config should be adjusted to not reference that assembly, but this is a Windows Azure cloud service; should machine.config really be
adjusted?

The melody of logic will always play out the truth. ~ Narumi Ayumu, Spiral

Hi Aaron,
I suggest you have a look at this thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9181039/error-publishing-nodejs-app-to-azure, try the method provided by Mark Cowlishaw, see the content below.
This looks like an issue with your machine.config. Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink.Behavior is a wcf behavior that enables wcf debugging features inside visual studio, and it loooks like something removed the behavior extension
from your machine configuration without removing the references to it in common endpoint and service behaviors.
If the dll (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink) is installed on your computer (should be in the Global Assembly Cache if so, \windows\assembly), then you should be able to add the extension element back into your machine .config:
inside
<system.serviceModel>
<extensions>
<behaviorExtensions>
<add name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink.Behavior" type="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink.Behavior, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Diagnostics.ServiceModelSink, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
If the dll isn't installed, you can remove the references to it in machine.config at:
system.serviceModel/commonBehaviors/endpointBehaviors
and
system.serviceModel/commonBehaviors/serviceBehaviors
Note that you will want to BACK UP your machine.config before making any changes.

Is there a way to create a virtual network using C# and the Azure SDK/API?

I don't see a clear way to create an Azure Virtual Network using the SDK.
I have all the methods to create the virtual network configuration, but no way to submit it:
IList<string> VirtualNetworkAddressPrefixes = new List<string>();
IList<string> LocalNetworkAddressPrefixes = new List<string>();
IList<NetworkListResponse.DnsServer> DNSServers = new List<NetworkListResponse.DnsServer>();
IList<NetworkListResponse.Subnet> Subnets = new List<NetworkListResponse.Subnet>();
NetworkListResponse.Gateway Gateway = new NetworkListResponse.Gateway();
IList<NetworkListResponse.LocalNetworkSite> LocalSites = new List<NetworkListResponse.LocalNetworkSite>();
IList<NetworkListResponse.Connection> Connections = new List<NetworkListResponse.Connection>();
VirtualNetworkAddressPrefixes.Add("a.b.c.d/cidr");
DNSServers.Add(new NetworkListResponse.DnsServer() { Name = "TestDNS1", Address = "a.b.c.d" });
Subnets.Add(new NetworkListResponse.Subnet() { Name = "Subnet-1", AddressPrefix = "a.b.c.d/cidr" });
Subnets.Add(new NetworkListResponse.Subnet() { Name = "GatewaySubnet", AddressPrefix = "a.b.c.d/cidr" });
Connections.Add(new NetworkListResponse.Connection() { Type = LocalNetworkConnectionType.IPSecurity });
LocalNetworkAddressPrefixes.Add("a.b.c.d/cidr");
LocalSites.Add(new NetworkListResponse.LocalNetworkSite()
Name = "On-Prem",
Connections = Connections,
VpnGatewayAddress = "a.b.c.d",
AddressSpace = new NetworkListResponse.AddressSpace() { AddressPrefixes = LocalNetworkAddressPrefixes }
Gateway.Sites = LocalSites;
Gateway.Profile = GatewayProfile.ExtraLarge;
NetworkManagementClient netMgmtClient = new NetworkManagementClient(CloudCredentials);
NetworkListResponse netlistresp = GlobalSettings.mainWindow.netMgmtClient.Networks.List();
netlistresp.VirtualNetworkSites
.Add(new NetworkListResponse.VirtualNetworkSite()
Name = "TestVirtualNetwork",
AddressSpace = new NetworkListResponse.AddressSpace() { AddressPrefixes = VirtualNetworkAddressPrefixes },
DnsServers = DNSServers,
Subnets = Subnets,
AffinityGroup = "East US",
Gateway = Gateway,
Label = "LabelValue"
I have also created the entire XML response and sent it to the NetworkManagementClient -> Networks.SetConfiguration() method, but it appears this command expects the virtual network to already be in existence. If anyone could give guidance, it would be
appreciated.

Hi,
As discuss above , we have to create the XML response ,before that first you have to
GetConfiguration() details of existing virtual network.

Remote App and Azure VM

Hi All. I have a scenario that I wanted to throw out there to see if anyone has either implemented something familiar or whether or not it can be done at all.
I have a small dental practice who is in the process of opening up a couple new remote locations. They've expressed interest in moving their key LOB (the Practice Management solution) to the cloud and accessing that solution as a published application.
With that in mind, I'm looking to possibly:
1. Spin up a new VM in Azure, utilizing recommended specifications provided by LOB vendor.
2. Use the new Azure RemoteApp to publish said LOB to all end-users.
Can this be done? Has anyone else implemented a similar scenario? I know you can utilize RemoteApp in a Hybrid scenario that would allow you to publish apps that tie in to internally stored servers, databases, etc. I just can't seem to
find anything that highlights actually tying RemoteApp in to a solution already housed in the Azure VM environment. My assumption here is that it can be done, was just hoping to get some valuable feedback from those that have experience doing so.
Thank you in advance.
CM

Hi,
Yes, it can be done--I have done it. The key is to connect your RemoteApp Virtual Network (VNet) to your Azure VM VNet. The article below shows how to configure the VNet to VNet connection:
How to link Azure RemoteApp to an existing VNET
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2014/07/21/how-to-link-azure-remoteapp-to-an-existing-vnet.aspx
I recommend you place your RemoteApp collection in the same region as your Azure VMs to minimize latency.

Error while updating a custom Windows Azure Diagnostics configuration xml from powershell. "Invalid update to extension reference for role"

I am attempting to upload a manually edited WADConfig xml to my VM. The WAD service is functioning correctly, I needed to add some custom WinEventLogs. The prescribed steps result in an error.
What am I overlooking?
I am following these instructions:
Step 5: Remotely install Diagnostics on your Azure Virtual Machine
azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-diagnostics/#virtual-machine
$storage_name = "wadexamplevm"
$key = "<StorageAccountKey>"
$config_path="c:\users\<user>\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\WadExampleVM\WadExampleVM\WadExample.xml"
$service_name="wadexamplevm"
$vm_name="WadExample"
$storageContext = New-AzureStorageContext
-StorageAccountName $storage_name -StorageAccountKey $key
$VM1 = Get-AzureVM
-ServiceName $service_name -Name $vm_name
$VM2 = Set-AzureVMDiagnosticsExtension
-DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $config_path
-Version "1.*"
-VM $VM1 -StorageContext $storageContext
$VM3 = Update-AzureVM
-ServiceName $service_name -Name $vm_name
-VM $VM2.VM
Unfortunately, I am receiving this error:
Update-AzureVM : BadRequest: Invalid update to extension reference for role: XXXXXX and reference: IaaSDiagnostics.
What's missing from the above script?

Hi,
Since Azure SDK 2.5 uses the extension model the diagnostics extension, the configuration and the connection string to the diagnostic storage are no longer part of the deployment package and cscfg. All the diagnostics configuration is contained within the
wadcfgx. The advantage with this approach is that diagnostics agent and settings are decoupled from the project and can be dynamically enabled and updated even after your application is deployed.
Due to this change some existing workflows need to be rethought – instead of configuring the diagnostics as part of the application that gets deployed to each environment you can first deploy the application to the environment and then apply the diagnostics
configuration for it. When you publish the application from Visual Studio this process is done automatically for you. However if you were deploying your application outside of VS using PowerShell then you have to install the extension separately through
PowerShell.
There PowerShell cmdlets for managing the diagnostics extensions on a Cloud Service are -
Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension
Get-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension
Remove-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension
You can use the Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension method to enable diagnostics extension on a cloud service. One of the parameters on this cmdlet is the XML configuration file. This file is slightly different from the diagnostics.wadcfgx file. You can
create this file from scratch by either following the article that you are referring to or you can modify the wadcfgx file and pass in the modified file as a parameter to the powershell cmdlet.
To modify the wadcfgx file –
Make a copy the .wadcfgx.
Remove the following elements from the Copy:
<DiagnosticsConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2010/10/DiagnosticsConfiguration">
<PrivateConfig xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2010/10/DiagnosticsConfiguration">
<StorageAccount name=" " endpoint="https://core.windows.net/" />
</PrivateConfig>
<IsEnabled>false</IsEnabled>
</DiagnosticsConfiguration>
Make sure the top of the file still has xml version and encoding –
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
Effectively you are stripping down the Wadcfgx to only contain the <PublicConfig> section and the <?xml> header. You can then call the PowerShell cmdlet along with the appropriate parameters for the staging slots and roles:
$storage_name = ‘
<storagename>’
$key= ‘<key>’
$service_name = '<servicename>'
$public_config = '<thepublicconfigfrom_diagnostics.wadcfgx>'
$storageContext = New-AzureStorageContext –StorageAccountName $storage_name –StorageAccountKey $key
Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $public_config –ServiceName $service_name -Slot ‘Staging’ -Role ‘WebRole1’
Hope this helps !

$100 to the person that can work with me on getting Lightswitch, Telerik Reporting, Azure reporting service working.

I give up. I am not a professional developer however I am pretty good at coding. But I have limitations and do not understand how all the pieces fit together when it comes to WCF, LightSwitch and Telerik Reporting service.
I have spent the better part of the past 5 evenings attempting to deploy a WCF service to my azure account to create reports for my application. I know this should be simple but I cannot find an example that ties all the pieces together.
I have a
working lightswitch application deployed to Azure
20+ working telerik reports created in a separate project (Reports have parameters that is one of the problems)
No way to get the two to talk together.
If you have experience and feel you can help me please respond to this post and I will set up some time for us to work together online.
Regards a very frustrated part time developer
Cliff
P.S. Sorry if this is an inappropriate use of the forum but I am at my wits end!

(I am not in the running for the 'bounty' just trying to help on the WCF RIA part...)
When you deploy the application to Azure you should be able to hit the WCF RIA Service using:
site/{class name}.svc/
For example if you look at the reports I have in this example:
LightSwitch Survey: Handling
Complex Business Logic Using WCF RIA Services
You can use the live application at the following link: https://survey.lightswitchhelpwebsite.com/HTMLClient (use your
username and password from
LightSwitchHelpWebsite.com)
The call in Fiddler looks like this:
/WCF_RIA_ServiceData.svc/SurveyResults?$filter=(SurveyId%20eq%202)&$top=45&$inlinecount=allpages
This is what your reports should be calling. Can you get this far?

Can't view or edit Application Insights webtests in the new Azure Portal

I'm in the process of setting up Application Insights for an Azure Cloud Services Web Role. Things have been looking good so far - I've enabled App Insights telemetry to the VS2013 solution, configured correctly and am getting usage/monitoring data
displayed in the NEW Azure Portal (portal.azure.com).
I set up my first "webtest" on Friday to monitor the site availability from three separate locations around the world and alert when down; however, logging in today shows my webtests graph as blank, i.e. contains no data.
Usually, when this is the case, there's a link provided to create new webtests, but since I've already added a webtest, this is no longer the case. So I can neither view or edit my existing webtest, nor create a new one. I have tried clearing
my browser private data and even use a different browser but the result is the same. I have also tried deleting and recreating the Application Insights instance with the same name but the result is the same (although the data from the deleted instance
remains...). My only recourse is to create a new, differently named Application Insights instance and set it all up again, losing the telemetry collected so far. This isn't such a big deal during the prototype stage, but when this goes into effect
on the production site, deleting and starting from scratch whenever there's a webtests problem isn't going to be an option.
How do I view/edit/clear existing webtests? Is it possible to do this through Azure PowerShell or the Azure SDK?

Hi Chris Haigh,
We are working on this thread and will try to reply with the proper resolution as soon as possible.

Not able to view CrystalReportViewer in Azure Application.

Hi All,
We have an application which was developed in VS 2005 with .Net framework 2.0 and crystal report version 10.
We have migrated this application to azure using VS 2013 with .Net framework 4.5 and crystal report version 13.2.
We have included the Crystal report msi in the package for deploying it on azure.
We have used the CrystalReportViewer on one of the page in our application to view the reports but we are not able to view it.
Thanks

Here is a KBA that discusses Azure and CR:
1765620 - What version of Crystal Reports supports Windows Azure?
Note that the simple string "crystal azure" in the search box at the top right corner found the above as the very 1st hit. E.g.; please search 1st...
The KBA points to the SAP Idea Place where anyone can ask for an enhancement to CR. Note that the Idea has been viewed 264 times and only voted up 4 times (one of those votes is mine). E.g.; it does not appear to be a highly demanded enhancement and I do not believe it will ever see the light of day.

SQL azure database size not dropping down after deleting all table

Dear all,
I have a simple database on Azure for which I have deleted all table data. The size of the database is still showing 5Mb of data and I am charge for that. I have heard that this may happen from cluster index getting fragmented.
I have run a querry I found on internet on all my table index to show percentage of fragmentation and all report 0%.
DBA is not so my job but what could it be or how can I reduce that size ?
ON premise I would use COMPACT DB but not available in azure like some others DB action
Thnaks for tips
regards

user created objects/data are not the only ones stored in your database. you got system objects and metadata as Mike mentions above.
are you trying to skip being charged if you're not storing data? looking at the pricing table, you'll still get charged the $4.995 for the 0-100MB database size range.

Unable to log in Azure Linux VM using username and password

I tried creating a Linux VM (Cent OS based) using PowerShell. I was able to provision the VM, but when i tried to log in using the credentials in the VM using Putty, I get an error message stating "No supported authentication methods available
(server sent : publicKey).
Although when i create a VM through Azure portal using the same image i don't find any issues to login the VM. Please find below the PowerShell commands i used to provision Linux VM.
Option 1:
New-AzureQuickVM -Linux -ServiceName "customdatalinux" -Name "customdatalinux" -ImageName "0b11de9248dd4d87b1862
1318e037d37__RightImage-CentOS-7.0-x64-v14.2" -Password "******" -Location "East US" -LinuxUser "*****" -InstanceSize "ExtraSmall"
Option 2:
PS C:\> $vm1 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name "customdatalinux" -InstanceSize "ExtraSmall" -ImageName "0b11de9248dd4d87b18621318e037d37__RightImage-CentOS-7.0-x64-v14.2" | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Linux -LinuxUser "*****"
-Password "*****"
New-AzureVM -ServiceName "customdatalinux" -VMs $vm1
Option 3:
$vm1 = New-AzureVMConfig -Name "customdatalinux" -InstanceSize "ExtraSmall" -ImageName "0b11de9248dd4d87b1862131
8e037d37__RightImage-CentOS-7.0-x64-v14.2" | Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Linux -LinuxUser "****" -Password "*****" | Set-AzureEndpoint -Name "SSH" -Protocol "TCP" -Loc
alPort "22" -PublicPort "22"
New-AzureVM -ServiceName "customdatalinux" -VMs $vm1
In the Azure portal i can see that there is an option to select credentials authentication alone, where i can enter the password and provision a VM. I try to do the same through PowerShell and VM gets provisioned, but am unable to log in the VM using those
credentials.
Can you please let me know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Anish

Try this
azure vm create customdatalinux0b11de9248dd4d87b18621318e037d37__RightImage-CentOS-7.0-x64-v14.2 username password -l "West US"By default, linux VM on Azure has Port 22 opened so you don't have to configure those unless you want to change port. Also loose | and '' in commands.
Creating new VM creates new service unless you want to use one already created.

"The CREATE USER statement must be the only statement in the batch" in SQL Azure - why? what to do?

I'm getting an error on a line in the middle of a larger sql script, only in SQL Azure.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'foouser')
CREATE USER [foouser] FOR LOGIN [foouser] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
Error: "The CREATE USER statement must be the only statement in the batch."
I don't actually understand what 'the only statement in the batch' means.
What is a batch? Is it a SQL file? Is it related to a 'GO' statement or an 'IF' statement? What is the reason for the error? And how do I avoid it?
Thanks,
Tim

>IF...ELSE imposes conditions on the execution of a Transact-SQL statement
I understand the general purpose of an If statement. I could let go of our definition of statement counting disagreeing too except that because of the error I'm stuck.
It's less important for Create User but what I am really puzzled over now is a very similar issue how am I supposed to do a safe version of CREATE LOGIN, when I don't know whether a login has been previously created on the server or whether I
am setting up the database on a clean server?
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.server_principals WHERE name = N'foouser')
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
If I try and execute this script, it throws the same error as above.
The first unworkable workaround idea is to omit the if statement
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
But if the login already exists on the server (because a similar script was already run), then the script throws an error.
The second unworkable workaround idea is to do
DROP LOGIN [foouser]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [foouser] WITH PASSWORD = 'asdfasdf'
GO
Obviously this throws an error in the second block if the login doesn't already exist on the server.
The third workaround idea I have is to go conditional by putting an IF condition around DROP instead of CREATE:
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me either!
"The DROP LOGIN statement must be the only statement in the batch"
(This is despite the fact that 'drop login' is listed on the
supported commands page, not the partially supported page..?! Which disagrees with the notes on
this page.)
Anyway the real question I am interesting in addressing is: is there actually a way to have a 'Create/Delete login
if exists' operation which is SQL-Azure compatible and doesn't throw me error messages (which messes with the sql execution tool I am using)?
If there is no way, I would like to believe it's because it would be a bad idea to do this. But in that case why is it a bad idea?

What is the difference between Azure RemoteApp Basic vs Standard Plans in terms of compute cores and memory?

So our customer has asked us to compare compare Amazon Workspace and Azure RemoteApp offerings for them to choose from. While looking at Amazon Workspace, it clealy defines bundles with specific CPU cores, memory and user storage. However, Azure RemoteApp
only specifies user storage and vaguely compares its basic vs. standard plans in terms of "task worker" vs. "information worker"
I tried looking up its documentation but couldn't find specific CPU cores that are dedicated per user in basic vs. standard plans. I have following questions:
Can anyone point me in the right direction or help understand how many CPU cores and memory are dedicated (or shared) per user in each plan?
Our customer would most likely need a "custom" image for their custom apps. Is it possible for us to choose specific CPU cores and memory for the users to be able to run their apps in azure remoteapp?
In case i am misunderstanding the basic difference between AWS workspace and Azure RemoteApp, i'd appreciate some help in understanding it as well.
Thanks!

Hi,
With Azure RemoteApp users see just the applications themselves, and the applications appear to be running on their local machine similar to other programs. With Workspaces users connect to a full desktop and launch applications within that.
1. Azure RemoteApp currently uses size A3 Virtual Machines, which have 4 vCPUs and 7GB RAM. Under Basic each VM can have a maximum of 16 users using it whereas under Standard each VM is limited to 10 users. The amount of CPU available
to a user depends on what the current demands are on the CPU at that moment from other users and system processes that may be on the server.
For example, say a user is logged on to a VM with 3 other users and the other users are idle (not consuming any CPU). At that moment the user could use all 4 vCPUs if a program they are running needed to. If a few moments later
the other 3 users all needed lots of CPU as well, then the first user would only have approximately 1 vCPU for their use. The process is dynamic and seeks to give each user their fair share of available CPU when there are multiple users demanding CPU.
Under the Standard plan a user will receive approximately a minimum of .4 vCPU assuming that the VM has the maximum number of users logged on and that all users are using as much CPU as possible at a given moment. Under the Basic plan the approximate
minimum would be .25 vCPU.
2. You cannot choose the specific number of cores and memory. What you can do is choose the Azure RemoteApp billing plan, which affects the user density of each VM as described above. If you need a lower density than Standard you
may contact support.
