ASA DMVPN for Azure Cloud

Hello,
It looks like one of our customers need to buy ISR's to connect to the Azure cloud from Microsoft via DMVPN, since Cisco ASA doesn't support it (yet).
Will ASA support this in nearby future release?
Anybody has eventually suggestions? (Apart from not using Azure ;-)

Based on comments from Cisco representatives in the DMVPN/FlexVPN sessions at Cisco Live!, there's no plan to support DMVPN/FlexVPN on ASA. This may have changed since then, but I doubt it.
Infrastructure VPNs are slowly but surely moving away from the simple policy-based IPSec VPNs that the ASA supports to more modern and flexible route-based VPNs like DMVPN and FlexVPN. The key phrase here is "route-based", which puts the technology firmly into the purview of routers rather than security appliances.
The ASA units are very good at what they do, but modern infrastructure VPNs are just a bit beyond their scope.

Can a Worker Role process call Antimalware for Azure Cloud Services programmatically?

I'm trying to find a solution that I can use to perform virus scanning on files that have been uploaded to Azure blob storage. I wanted to know if it is possible to copy the file to local storage on a Worker Role instance, call Antimalware for Azure
Cloud Services to perform the scan on that specific file, and then depending on whether the file is clean, process the file accordingly. If the Worker Role cannot call the scan programmatically, is there a definitive way to check if a file has been scanned
and whether it is clean or not once it has been copied to local storage (I don't know if the service does a real-time scan when new files are added, or only runs on a schedule)?

Hi,
I would suggest you have a look at this article:
http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/10/30/microsoft-antimalware-for-azure-cloud-services-and-virtual-machines/, please note the Microsoft Antimalware Client and Service is not installed by default in cloud service, please try to use the PowerShell
cmdlet, Set-AzureServiceAntimalwareExtension to enable antimalware in your cloud service. Here's some more info:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn771718.aspx

Is it possible to do Continuous deployment for azure cloud services(website,web and worker roles) using VSO Release management?

Hi,
I am trying to do continuous deployment using visual studio online and release management for Azure cloud services. But not able to find the way to do it(with the help of different blogs, those are describing using VM only).
I tried using Release management visual studio extension also. But no Luck.
Please help me if it is possible to do continuous deployment using release management.

Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services?

Hi all;
I was talking with a Sql Server expert today and learned that Azure Sql Server can take up to a minute to respond to a query that normally takes a fraction of a second. This is one of those things where it's really valuable to learn it when architecting as
opposed to when we go live.
Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
We will be placing the cloud services in multiple datacenters and using traffic manager to point people to the right one. The cloud service will set between an IMAP client & server, pretending to be the mail client to the server, and the server to the client.
Mostly it will pass all requests & responses across from one to the other.

hi dave,
>>Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
For this issue, I have collected some blogs and document about best practices for azure cloud service, you can view them, but I am not sure they are your need.

>>The cloud service will set between an IMAP client & server, pretending to be the mail client to the server, and the server to the client. Mostly it will pass all requests & responses across from one to the other.
For your scenarioes, If you'd like to communicate with each instances, I recommend you refer to this document (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh180158.aspx ). And generally, if we want connect the client to server on Azure, the service bus is a good choice (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-multi-tier-app-using-service-bus-queues/

Visual Studio cannot remote debug Azure cloud service: There was a failure to launch the remote debugger

I am trying to invoke remote debugger on an Azure worker role cloud service, following the example of

But on attaching the remote debugger for the cloud service instance
Microsoft Visual Studio
There was a failure to launch the remote debugger.
OK
According to somebody else's extra coverage on the topic, there are extra ports 4016/4017 that need to be taken care of (but do they have to be exposed externally)?

Anybody regularly perform remote debugging for Azure cloud services?
The melody of logic will always play out the truth. ~ Narumi Ayumu, Spiral

And, how do I control that in Visual Studio?
All I get is the Attach Debugger... context menu option in the Azure cloud service nodes in Server Explorer. That is where it is failing. There are no customisable options.
Because of that, the Attach to Process dialog box is unable to retrieve the list of processes (to debug) in the remote worker role instance server.
I tested a blank-template worker role project and published to a new cloud project, and this simplistic copy had no problems with the Remote debugger.
Now the question is, what is it about this real-world project/cloud service that is different from blank sample? From what I compare between what I think are the relevant settings, there are none.

Output from code running on azure cloud

How do I get the log files from an azure cloud service / or the output from an azure cloud service.
I DO NOT mean the azure cloud logs, i.e. the logs produced by the management portal - I mean the actual output of my code.
If I run the code locally it goes to console, so I can see it, but how do I see it when it is running as an azure cloud service?
I am on VS2013 / .NET4.5 / Azure SDK2.4
thx

Hi,
Requests may be load balance to different azure cloud service instance, so azure storage service is a good choice to save the log message, based on your description, you don't want to use azure cloud logs, because it is produced by management portal, I don't
know whether you mentioned is Azure Diagnostics or not, as far as I know, we can log our exception code to azure storage just use Trace.WriteLine(), refer to
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sumitm/archive/2009/11/25/windows-azure-walkthrough-simple-logging.aspx for more details,and
azure storage explorer is a good tool to see the error details, below is the article that show us how to Configure Diagnostics for Azure Cloud Services.

"Failed to debug the Windows Azure Cloud Service project. The Output directory .... does not exist" - Looking for Solution Config Name Folder?

Good evening,
I've been working on and with a VS2013 Update 2 / Azure SDK 2.3 Cloud Service project for a while now and never had a problem debugging it (setting the .ccproj Project as Startup Project) but at the moment I cannot Debug it anymore - I always get the following
error message:
Failed to debug the Windows Azure Cloud Service project. The output directory 'D:\Workspace\Development\Sources\AzureBackend\csx\Backend - Debug' does not exist.
Now what's odd here, is the last part - the "Backend - Debug" is the Solution configuration name, ALL projects in that particular solution configuration are set to the Debug Configuration. The .ccproj file also only specifies Debug|Any CPU (and
Release|Any CPU respectively) as its output folder(s). Why is the Solution config appearing up there?
And more importantly.. why is this happening and what can I do?!
Thanks,
-Jörg
Ps: there seems to be a related
connect bug and these sorts of issues do appear around the forums but none contains a solution (neither reinstalling the Azure SDK nor cloaking the workspace/re-retrieving & building everything worked).

Good morning Jambor,
I already tried de-installing everything Azure-Tooling related including the Azure SDK, Restarting my machine and re-installing the SDK.
Same result. I can build the .ccproj perfectly fine and the cspack file IS generated perfectly fine, only debugging does not work and there's NO information in the VS output window (again - all projects succeed to build).
I tried explicitely running VS as Administrator, no change. I removed all IIS Express sites (as the ccproj has one web worker role), remapped my local TFS workspace.. nothing helped.
As building works, deploying to Azure Cloud Service (manually and via Publish inside VS) all works -perfectly-, I am pretty sure this IS a bug and I'd LOVE to help to get this fixed. As I said, currently I cannot debug and/or run & test my work, hence
I cannot do ANY work.

Information required for Microsoft Azure cloud hosting

I am looking for hosting my application on Azure cloud server and would like to inform you that my application is in ASP.NET 3.5 with database on SQL Server 2008 R2.
Before we proceed further with Microsoft Azure cloud hosting, I would like to clarify some of my below mentioned queries:
Hosting:
What are the plans of hosting along with pricing and server configuration.
How many applications we can host.
How much space we will get.
Can we deploy and run some exe, which we developed for sending email.
Currently we are using InProc session. What modification will be required by the application.
Can we point our DNS to the application we host.
We do development on our On-Premise environment, do we also get any staging/testing server along with production server.
Does the usage of application on staging server is chargeable.
How many instances we will be getting for one application
Does environment automatically increase or decreases the instances in use as per increase or decrease in load.
SQL Azure:
Which version of SQL Server we will get.
Does SQL Azure is compatible with all the features and datatypes of SQL Server 2008 R2? If not then please let us know features and datatypes which are not supported by SQL Azure.
What all SQL Server version’s database can be restored on SQL Azure.
What will be the database size.
Will the database will be in the same datacenter where our application reside.
How many database we can create
How we can take database backup, is there any control panel for that.
How we can schedule database backups
Can we restore our On-Premise database with the database bakup taken from SQL Azure.
Can we connect database from our local machine with “SQL Server Management Studio”.

Hi SanVerma,
Thanks for your posting!
From your description, I think firstly you need confirm which one host service could meet your target. I suggest you could refer to this page about Azure Websites, Cloud Services, and Virtual Machines comparison:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/choose-web-site-cloud-service-vm/
The above link could answer your hosting questions 1,2,4.
Hosting:
>>3.How much space we will get.
It depends on your size:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn197896.aspx
>>5.
Currently we are using InProc session. What modification will be required by the application.
You need use the Azure cache service or SQL Azure storage to store your session data, please see those blog:

http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-session-state-caching/
>>6
Can we point our DNS to the application we host.
If you use Azure VM to host your application, you could use Azure Virtual Network to deploy your DNS server, Please see this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/jj156088.aspx
>>
We do development on our On-Premise environment, do we also get any staging/testing server along with production server.
>>
Does the usage of application on staging server is chargeable.
Yes, you can do this. If you use Azure cloud service stage/production environment, You could be charged. If you use single VM to host your production and staging project, you could be charged the single VM.
>> How many instances we will be getting for one application
It depends on your requirement, If the quota is not enough, you could contact the Azure support to increase the quota. >>Does environment automatically increase or decreases the instances in use as per increase or decrease in load.
Azure platform support the AutoScale. You can set the feature using code or portal.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-autoscaling-application-block/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh680945(v=pandp.50).aspx
SQL Azure:
>> 1.Which version of SQL Server we will get.
Firstly, you need clarify the SQL Azure and sql server. SQL Azure is a data as a service. SQL server in VM is a VM which is installed sql server. If you wants to use SQL Server, I suggest you could refer to this pricing page:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/?scenario=virtual-machines
>>    2.
Does SQL Azure is compatible with all the features and datatypes of SQL Server 2008 R2? If not then please let us know features and datatypes which are not supported by SQL Azure.
>> 3.What all SQL Server version’s database can be restored on SQL Azure.
>>4.What will be the database size.
I recommend you refer to those post and blog about above 3 questions:

Is there a way for converting WCF service into Azure Cloud Service without dealing with project files.

Here is my situation.
We provide Platform and SDK to other people where they can build WCF services and deploy that on site. We have a many ISVs who has built wcf services, packaged them and ship them.
Packaging consist of couple of manifest file and .dll file that make up wcf service. Now we want to go on cloud with our platform.
Long story short - I have all the dlls for my wcf service but no project file.
Is there a way to generate cloud service package from this dll files?

Hi,
You can't simply package your dlls and deploy it as a azure cloud service deployment package - you will need to have your project as well as service definition file which will define your role and instances.
You can read more about packaging an Application by Using the CSPack Command-Line Tool here -http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/gg433133.aspx
another way to go to cloud platform is by making use of azure web sites, however you will still need your service files do deploy.
If you have the dlls and the service files with you - then you can simply use the web site publish wizard and deploy to azure web site.
Read more about it here - http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-deploy/

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");

Is it possible to use both an ILB and an ELB (listening on the same port) in the same Azure cloud service?

I'm building a test Lync deployment on Azure; yes, I know this is not supported, hence "test".
Lync Front-End servers expose two set of web services, one for internal users and one for external ones; they listen on different ports (443 and 4443) on the same servers; when external services are published, you need a reverse proxy or a port forwarding
in order to map port 443 of a public IP address to port 4443 of the Front-End server(s). When you have multiple Front-End servers in a pool, you also need to load-balance them.
So, a typical Lync deployment looks like this:
       Internal users
               |
               443
                  |
          Internal LB
        192.168.0.20
        443         443
          |               |
   Lync FE 1     Lync FE 2
192.168.0.21 192.168.0.22
          |               |
      4443        4443
          External LB
       Public IP Address
                 |
              443
                 |
       External Users
This should be easily replicated in Azure, as it supports both external load balancing and internal load balancing. They are even supported together in the same cloud service, so this configuration should be easy. However, it looks like "should"
is the keyword here.
After creating the external load balanced endpoint (which listens on external port 443 and forwards to port 4443 on the servers), I'm trying to create an internal load balancer and add internal endpoints to is; however, while the ILB can be created successfully,
adding an internal endpoint listening on port 443 and forwarding to port 443 on the servers fails miserably, with an error stating that port 443 is already in use by another endpoint:
Update-AzureVM : BadRequest : Port 443 is already in use by one of the endpoints in this deployment. Ensure that the port numbers are unique across endpoints within a deployment.
For reference, my commands are:
Add-AzureInternalLoadBalancer -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB" -ServiceName "LyncFrontEnd" -SubnetName "LabSubnet" -StaticVNetIPAddress 192.168.0.20
(This completes successfully)
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "Https-Int" -Protocol "tcp" -LocalPort 443 -PublicPort 443 -LBSetName "HttpsIntLB" -DefaultProbe -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB"
(This fails)
The existing external endpoint is configured as such:
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | get-azureendpoint
LBSetName : HttpsExtLB
LocalPort : 4443
Name : HTTPS-Ext
Port : 443
Protocol : tcp
Vip :
ProbePath :
ProbePort : 4443
ProbeProtocol : tcp
ProbeIntervalInSeconds : 15
ProbeTimeoutInSeconds : 31
EnableDirectServerReturn : False
Acl : {}
InternalLoadBalancerName :
IdleTimeoutInMinutes :
LoadBalancerDistribution :
The error doesn't even make a lot of sense; the external load balancer listens on a public IP address, while the internal load balancer listens on a private IP address in the internal network; there
shouldn't be any conflict here... however it looks like there is one instead.
Why doesn't this work? Am I doing something wrong, or is Azure networking just being silly as usual again?

Hello Massimo Pascucci,
The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

Diagnostics not working in web role for Azure SDK 2.5.1

I am working with Azure SDK 2.5.1, mainly on the new designed diagnostics stuffs. However, I found I cannot get it run for my web role.
So, I created a cloud service project, added a web role. Then, I appended one Trace message at the end of Application_Start in Global.asax.cs:
Trace.TraceInformaction("Application_Start end.");
After that, I right clicked the WebRole and opened the Properties tab.
In the diagnostics config window:
General: I choose 'Custom
plan', also specified the storage account, keep the 'Disk
Quota in MB' as default '4096'
Application Logs: 'Log
level' switch to 'All',
others kept as default
Other tabs are in default config settings
After I deployed the project to cloud, I found some unexpected things:
There is no WADLogsTable exists
in Table storage. That's very strange, if I use a Worker Role, it would work as expected. So in web role, I just cannot find the Trace logging?
For the performance counters, since I am using the default config with 8 counters, I can only see 8 in WADPerformanceCountersTable table
storage. In my assumption, over time, there would be more and more values of this 8 counters transferred to this table. But it was just not happened, after several hours, it still had that 8 counter values.
I just thought the diagnostics for Web Role just crashed or not working at all. Meanwhile, I checked the logs located at "C:\Logs\Plugins\Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.PaaSDiagnostics\1.4.0.0\DiagnosticsPlugin.log" in
server, at the end of this file there is an exception said some diagnostics process exit:
DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Error: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add)
at Microsoft.Azure.Plugins.Diagnostics.dll.PluginConfigurationSettingsProvider.LoadWadXMLConfig(String fullConfig)
DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Error: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] Failed to load configuration file
DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Information: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] DiagnosticPlugin.exe exit with code -105
From MSDN,
the code -105 means:
The Diagnostics plugin cannot open the Diagnostics configuration file.
This is an internal error that should only happen if the Diagnostics plugin is manually invoked, incorrectly, on the VM.
It doesn't make sense, I did nothing to the VM.
As I said above, I just did very tiny changes to the scaffold code generated by Visual Studio 2013. Did I do something wrong or it's a bug for Azure SDK 2.5?
By the way, it seems everything is ok for Worker Role.

Hi,
This issue could be an internal issue, I do not have any update on this as of now. There was a similar issue due to a regression last month that has been resolved, however i dont think this issue is related.
Please follow the below article on how to enable Diagnostics and let us know if it works.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-diagnostics/
I will let you know if I have any update on this issue from my side.

Hi,
Is this the Video you are referring to
http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Interoperability/Java-Applications-in-Windows-Azure-Cloud-Services-using-Eclipse ?
Please post the Staging URL that you are using, did you try opening the URL by directly clicking it on the Management Portal for Azure.
Did u confirm that it was working in the Emulator before deployment.
Please refer to the following article that gives more detailed steps on "Creating a Hello World Application for Azure in Eclipse"

Can't publish to Azure Cloud Service from Visual Studio 2013

I have a VS project that I upgraded from VS 2012 to VS 2013. I can run it locally, and had no issues publishing to Azure when I was using VS 2012. When I attempt to publish the upgraded app to an Azure Cloud Service that already exists, I am getting this
error. Note that I have checked the Service Config files and did a search on the entire solution and can not find any reference to "LocalStorage1" anywhere in the Project or Solution. I have another VS 20113 Project that publishes just fine
to Azure Cloud Service. Any ideas on how to fix this?
PUBLISH ERROR:
Windows Azure could not find the resource LocalStorage1 in the service package. To upgrade the deployment, you must add the resource. Otherwise, perform a new deployment.

That's actually what I meant in my first post. When publishing to a new service, it is fine, because the deployment does not have to compare what is already there (it is a new service, so nothing is there) and what is in your package. But while upgrading
a service, bunch of settings have to match between an existing service and the package you are trying to upload. So the error you got wasn't about you having something extra in your package, but having something extra in your existing service and missing in
the package you were uploading. Hope that helps.
Anyway, please move this question to cloud services forums (this one is for web sites only), as there are experts in that area and they might be able to help you better.
Thanks,
Petr
