Track cloud service configuration changes

I've cloud service and if you go to the azure portal and click on cloud services ->choose service -> click on configure . you see the setting which you put in VS cloud service MVC project like following:
This configure settings was configured and deployod from the cloud service in VS MVC project (which have cloud service) when you click on cloud service click on your MVC project and click on specific role and than you have screen of cofigure
/settings /endpoints etc ,and you put the setting like key val in the setting view
which reflect in the azure portal when you deploy the cloud service in the cloud service configuretion screen.
User can change this config setting values in the portal and I want to track it,If I go the the managment services I can
see all the changes in the azure cloud service (caller id ,operation ID etc and there is option to see detailes but this is not sufficent) ,I want to see which
property was changed and the old values.
1.There is event which is invoked when user change this configuration in the portal,if yes which event and how should I get this data
2.I want to find which field was changed and what is the old value... ?
3.in the managment service you can see the operation ID ,can I get from it somehow addional data?
I've read the following (and more about diagnostic )but not find how to do that...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn186185.aspx
I guess I need to do it by code so any example will be very helpful!

I found the this which when I change conifgration I see it in the operation name
ChangeDeploymentConfigurationBySlot
But how should I use it I didnt understand it...Im new to azure ...

ExactTarget Cloud Services Configuration and CQ5.5

Hello All,
I am currently running CQ5.5 sp1 and there is no ExactTarget Cloud Services Configuration. Does anyone know how to integrate ExactTarget on CQ5.5 sp1? Is there a package I need to install or a some java I need to implement?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

AFAIK there is no FP for 5.5 for such configuration. I have placed the documentation (DOC-3411) update request.

Azure PAAS Cloud service Role restart scenario

Hi Azure team,
I want to know if i'm changing any configuration setting value through azure portal, Will it restart the Role instance?
Steps:
Azure portal login->cloud service->configure->change and save the configuration value.

It depends on the change, adding disks won't restart. Changing the underlying hardware - i.e. changing the size of the machine will force a restart.

How do I tell my clients to configure the connectionstrings for a cloud service?

I have an application that exists in two forms
A Windows Service
A Clouse Service with a Web Worker Role
Both applications have an encrypted connection string in the app.config;
for clients using the Windows Service I know how to tell them to change the config file.
For a cloud service is it possible to edit the configuration file?
I read something about Azure Settings, but I can't find any good information about that, is that the preferred method for setting environment settings in a Cloud Service?
Can you remote in to a VM or whatever hosts the Cloud Service?
Thank you for any help. I am writing the documentation about how to setup the Azure environment and I realized I don't know myself, I only know how to publish with Visual Studio to a cloud service with the values already set. That works, but I can't
tell a client to use Visual Studio.

Hi,
For a cloud service, though it is possible to access instance VMs and do changes on their file system by RDP sessions, but it is not recommended, as you will end up loosing your changes if role instance VMs are restarted.
If you really want to keep certain settings configurable and which will be shared by all your role instances, best way to do is to utilise the cloud service configurations, typically you mention these settings in .cscfg file and you can also edit those using
azure management portal.
You can also access those from your code
string settingValue = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("SettingString");

Configure commonly used settings for a cloud service

Hi All,
Have a question regarding Azure Cloud Service. If I change a cloud service setting (Cloud Service -> Configure) in the portal, does the change persist if or when an instance is re-imaged? For example, if I change the "DatabaseRetryCount"
parameter from 5 to 10 and save it, this change will update the runtime configuration. However, when Azure rebuild this role, is this change get carried over?
Thanks

In azure cloud services nothing is persistent, meaning that every time role instances are restarted or created, it will be created from the scratch and will pick up only those settings which you either have done in the role start up or defined as a start
up activity.
About azure cloud service configuration files, i.e. cscfg - you can specify the settings similar to what you define in web configuration file of your application, these settings can be read at run time and can be reffered in your custom code. If you add
/ update any setting from the portal - you should also do similar in cscfg file in your solution so that next time you upgrade the deployment, the updated settings will be deployed.

Azure Cloud Service Stuck in "Stopping" state for a long time (12 hours)

Does anyone have suggestions what to do with the issue I have. I tried to stop my Cloud Service the service is now basically stuck in "Stopping" State and been there over 12 hours. In my Cloud service there is 16 Virtual Machines I am using in
testing.
I tried to start Cloud Service but it also failed with error "Could not start the virtual machine deployment.".
Is there something I could do or some way to get Microsoft Support (without paying extra)? I have "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN" so i have no other support but billing from Microsoft :(

Managed to find the solution. I stopped and deallocated all the Virtual Machines. After that the Cloud Service status changed to stopped state. After that it was possible to start the Cloud Service again.

Azure VM Web Servers, Cloud Service and SSL?

I am deploying two web servers in a cloud service for load balancing. I have tested and I have that working with no problems. My question is how do I setup for SSL? Do I setup a certificate on the cloud service? Do I setup on each server? Any help would
be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
You could use the following link to configure SSL for your Cloud Service:

Issues deploying a cloud service with two endpoints (HTTP and HTTPS)

I ran into an issue this week in the azure portal when I tried to deploy a cloud service with two endpoints. (I am using the azure sdk 2.2). I deployed the cloud service to production with the following endpoints in the ServiceDefinition.csdef:
<WebRole name="NameChanged.Web" vmsize="Small">
<Sites>
<Site name="Web">
<Bindings>
<Binding name="HttpsIn" endpointName="HttpsIn" />
<Binding name="HttpIn" endpointName="HttpIn" />
</Bindings>
</Site>
</Sites>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="HttpIn" protocol="http" port="80" />
<InputEndpoint name="HttpsIn" protocol="https" port="443" certificate="NameChangedCertificate" />
</Endpoints>
<Imports>
<Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
</Imports>
<Certificates>
<Certificate name="NameChangedCertificate" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" />
</Certificates>
</WebRole>
I followed the directions here (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-configure-ssl-certificate/)
in Step 3 for deploying the cloud service to the azure portal. And HTTP worked just fine, but the HTTPS endpoint didn't work, we would get a 502 error whenever we tried to access the service via HTTPS.
We spent a lot of time to debug and see why HTTPS wasn't working, but everything we tried resulted in the same result: 502 error code when accessing the site
via HTTPS.
The only way that we were able to get HTTPS working for the cloud service in azure, was to completely delete our instance in the azure portal, and then do a two step deployment:
Step 1 - Remove the HTTP endpoint from our ServiceDefinition.csdef, like so:
<Site name="Web">
<Bindings>
<Binding name="HttpsIn"
</Bindings>
</Site>
</Sites>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="HttpsIn" protocol="https" port="443" certificate="staging" />
</Endpoints>
</WebRole>
We then deployed the service to the azure portal. AND THE SERVICE WORKED WITH HTTPS!!!
Step 2 - We added the HTTP endpoint back into the ServiceDefinition.csdef, redeployed and both HTTP and HTTPS worked on the site.
I wanted to post this to help others that may have the same issue, and to see if anyone else has experienced this same thing? Is this an issue in the azure 2.2 SDK? This seems like a work around for getting both HTTP and HTTPS endpoints for a
cloud service, and it seems "wrong". Does anyone have a better way to do this?
Tim

Hi Tim;
This seems to be an very useful workaround thanks for sharing it. Hopefully this will come in handy for many of us.

Is there a way to restart my Java cloud service? What are "non-dynamic configuration changes"?

I am trying to deploy an ADF application to my trial instance of Java cloud, I am getting the following error:
2013-10-15 08:24:18 CDT: Deploy Application started
2013-10-15 08:24:19 CDT: weblogic.management.DeploymentException: [Deployer:149189]An attempt was made to execute the 'deploy' operation on an application named 'xyzAPP' that is not currently available. The application may have been created after non-dynamic configuration changes were activated. If so, the operation can not be performed until server is restarted so that the application will be available.
2013-10-15 08:24:19 CDT: WL action state: failed
2013-10-15 08:24:19 CDT: Action FAILED with WL action state: failed
2013-10-15 08:24:19 CDT: Check the server log of your Java cloud service for more info about the failure.
There are tutorials available for deploying your first ADF app to the cloud, which I followed carefully. Except for one thing, the ADF app was originally developed in Jdeveloper 11.1.2.4 and then migrated to 11.1.1.6. Could that be what is causing the problem? How can I try to troubleshoot this?

Hi,
You will have to raise an sr towards the hosting team to perform the restart.
Kind regards,
Flori

Change basicHttpBinding to wsHttpBinding in azure cloud service web role

So I created a cloud service project in visual studio and added wcf service web role to cloud service.
By default wcf service web role binding is set to basicHttpBinding.
Currently my web.config looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace>
<listeners>
<add type="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics.DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
name="AzureDiagnostics">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>

<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>

<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
<directoryBrowse enabled="true"/>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
How do I change my config to use wsHttpBinding?

Hi,
Please refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733099.aspx. From my experience, in Windows Azure, we cannot use Windows authentication (the default configuration for WSHttpBinding), unless we use WAAD and let the cloud server join the local domian. So it is
needed to turn off authentication, or use an alternative authentication mechanism (such as username and password).

Configuring EMail in Database Cloud Service(Schema)

Hi
I am trying to use APEX_MAIL for emailing. Before using this, Where do I configure SMTP host , port ...etc in my Database Cloud Service.??
I tried log in to APEX console of my Database, Administration tab but I didn't find any place to setup this information.
I am using DB cloud Service associated with JCS-SAAS Extension (Trial version)
Thanks
Samrajyam

I don't think you need or even can change the configuration. You should be able to send and email with:
BEGIN
    l_id := APEX_MAIL.SEND(
        p_to        => '[email protected]',
        p_from      => '[email protected]',
        p_subj      => 'APEX_MAIL',
        p_body      => 'Some content',
        p_body_html => '<b>Some content</b>');
END;
For details of APEX_MAIL refer to the documentation.

Azure Cloud Service Scaling - do I have to configure a Load Balancer?

I'm a little bit confused by how scaling in Azure works. I'm using a Cloud Service and have 2 web roles running a PHP application. I can RDP on both machines and both applications run great on each machine. Also I don't have any problems calling the staging
URL.
But I can't figure out if I configure scaling so that 2 machines run always, if I have to configure a load balancer somehow. Or is this already done for me?
In Azure VM's I had to create a load-balanced set endpoint for an endpoint, but what about cloud services?
And how is this done in the XML configuration file for my service? What if I don't do it?

Hi,
Scaling is affected by core usage. Larger role instances or Virtual Machines use more cores. You can only scale an application within the limit of cores for your subscription. For example, if your subscription has a limit of twenty cores
and you run an application with two medium sized Virtual Machines (a total of four cores), you can only scale up other cloud service deployments in your subscription by sixteen cores. All Virtual Machines in an availability set that are used in scaling an
application must be the same size.
Windows Azure supports load balance for cloud services and standard websites, we just need to set instance count to more than 1 to enable load balance. For virtual machines, it needs to set up manually.
Please refer this link for Load Balance a Virtual Machine:
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/windows/common-tasks/how-to-load-balance-virtual-machines/
for more information.
Auto scale lets you set scaling limits and scheduling goals to ensure you are always getting optimal performance
Please refer this link for Scaling on Cloud Services:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cloud-services/
Also, Please refer this link for Scaling an Application :
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-scale/
XML configuration : Azure (Load-balanced) Endpoints can only be used for TCP/UDP based services. please check

Hope this helps.

How to change parameters in amconsole for "Service Configuration"?

Hello all,
After Sun JES installation I'm changed few parameters in amconsole as amadmin.
1. "Service Configuration" -> "Portal Desktop" -> "Authentication-less Portal Desktop Configuration "
selected as "Disable"
2. "Service Configuration" -> "Globalization Settings" -> "Charsets Supported by Each Locale"
Add locale "locale=ru|charset=UTF-8;ISO-8859-1"
Is it possible to do it from command line?
I think it should be amadmin command...
Thanks
