Availability of Windwos Azure in Africa

I recently tried to sign up for Windows Azure using my MSDN Subscription. The problem is I couldn't preform the mobile verification part as my country (Ethiopia) is not in the list of countries. Does this also mean we cannot use Windows Azure in this country?
If yes, when will the services be available to us? Thanks.

  • Sp_addextendedproperty is not available in sql Azure

    Please specify some sort of alternative of 
    sp_addextendedproperty in sql azure

    Hi sonesh,
    According to your description, since the issue regards SQL Azure database. I will help you move the question to the Windows SQL Azure forums at
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=ssdsgetstarted.It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    In addition, sp_addextendedproperty is not available in SQL Azure databases now. When you create table in SQL Azure database, the columns and other objects can declare with the following comments or you can use a special build of SQL Compare.

  • HT2240 I purchase my QuickTime 7 Pro registration key via a friend in USA as it was not available to residents in South Africa. I now have a new iMac and the registration code doesn't want to activate PRO. It works fine on my MacBook Pro.

    I purchase my QuickTime 7 Pro registration key via a friend in USA as it was not available to residents in South Africa. I now have a new iMac and the registration code doesn't want to activate PRO. It works fine on my MacBook Pro. Do I have to buy a new registration code for my newiMac?

    i'm in SA and it say Apple Support not available at the moment or something like that.
    Just got the new iMac.
    Still using MacBook Pro.
    Files are on a external drive shared between these 2 mac platforms and I need to be able to
    edit in QT 7 Pro on both as well.
    The code was bought in August 2011.

  • SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2012 High Availability Solution in Azure VM

    I have been testing an AlwaysOn high availability failover solution in SQL Server Enterprise on an Azure VM, and this works pretty well as a failover for SQL Server Databases, but I also need a high availability solution for SQL Server
    Analysis Server, and so far I haven't found a way to do this.  I can load balance it between two machines, but this isn't working as a failover and because of the restriction of not being able to use shared storage in a Failover Cluster in Azure
    VM's, I can't set it up as a cluster which is required for AlwaysOn in Analysis Services. 
    Anyone else found a solution to use an AlwaysOn High Availability for SQL Analysis Services in Azure VM?  As my databases are read-only, I would be satisfied with even just a solution that would sync the OLAP databases and switch
    the data connection to the same server as the SQL databases.
    Thanks!
    Bill

    Bill,
    So, what you need is a model like SQL Server failover cluster instances. (before sql server 2012)
    In SQL Server 2012, AlwaysOn replaces SQL Server failover cluster, and it has been seperated to
    AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server) and
    AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server).
    Since your requirement is not in database level, I think the best option is to use AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server).
    As part of the SQL Server AlwaysOn offering, AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances leverages Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) functionality to provide local high availability through redundancy at the server-instance level—a
    failover cluster instance (FCI). An FCI is a single instance of SQL Server that is installed across Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) nodes and, possibly, across multiple subnets. On the network, an FCI appears to be an instance of SQL
    Server running on a single computer, but the FCI provides failover from one WSFC node to another if the current node becomes unavailable.
    It is similar to SQL Server failover cluster in SQL 2008 R2 and before.
    Please refer to these references:

  • SSAS High Availability in Azure (not SQL DBE)

    Hello,
    I was wondering what would be my options for having an SSAS environment with High Availability in Azure?
    Please refrain from mentioning HA solutions for the SQL Database Engine itself - that is
    not the issue at hand.
    The issue is that as far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), the only way to provide SSAS HA is through clustering that involves share storage -- which is not available in Azure.
    So I was wondering if anyone has come across such requirement before and if there are any sort of novel/original solutions
    (thinking outside the box).
    Regards,
    P.

    Hi Pmdci,
    According to your description, you need implement SSAS environment with High Availability in Microsoft Azure, the problem is that you need to use share storage in this environment which is not available in Azure, right?
    Based on my research, a clustered implementation of SSAS can be configured in Microsoft Azure.
    A clustered implementation of SSAS can also span from on premises to Azure (or any qualified cloud) if networking is properly configured so that the nodes on premise and in the cloud can see each other, talk to Active Directory, and access storage.

  • Is Siri available for my ipad 4 in South Africa

    Can anybody advise if Siri is available to download in South Africa for iPad 4. New user, grateful for any assistance or tips. Cheers.

    Siri is built-in, you cannot download Siri.
    Press the Home button a bit longer and Siri will appear, if not then Siri is not supported in your country.
    I'm afraid Siri is not supported in South Africa

  • When will the 5S be available in South Africa?

    When will the iPhone 5S be available to buy in South Africa?

    As far as I understood (I made the same question for Italy), Apple hasn't released precise information yet. The only thing that we know is that it will be released within December 2013. Maybe in the next days they will released more information. Either Apple or your carrier.

  • When are paid ibooks available in south africa

    Does anyone know when ibooks will be available for purchase in South Africa. Free books are available but the selection is very limited.

    Nobody in these forums can tell you anything about whether or when Apple will add new features, but you can request them at
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    In the meantime, best to use other sources which also offer free ereaders for your device, such as Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, and Sony.

  • 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
    https://techlib.barracuda.com/display/BNGv54/How+to+Configure+a+High+Availability+Cluster+in+Azure/printable for the detailed information
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to install SharePoint 2013 and SQL 2012 on single Azure Virtual Machine

    I had a Azure subscription, I need had created only one Virtual Machine, is it possible to install SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012 on that single virtual machine in azure.
    I had SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012 licence from MSDN subscription,
    Finally on Azure virtual machine is it possible to Install SharePoint 2013 and SQL server by downloading these software from MSDN. 

    Hi,
    It is supported to install sharepoint 2013 and SQL server on the same server. However, please check the size of your Azure VM and make sure it is compatible for that.
    The minimum recommended size for a virtual machine is A3 when using SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Select A3 or higher when using SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Select A4 when using SQL Server 2012 or 2014 Enterprise Optimized for Transactional Workloads
    images. Select A7 when using SQL Server 2012 or 2014 Enterprise Optimized for Data Warehousing Workloads images. In addition, the default size for SharePoint 2013 image is A3.
    In addition, as a best practice, you can install them in different servers and then deploy SharePoint 2013 with SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups in Azure:

  • Not able to connect to AlwaysOn Availability listener

    Hi,
    I have configured alwaysOn Availability SQL in Azure environment with multiple data centers. Upon configuring listener and accessing from SSMS through port I am ending up with below error,
    A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)
    Also, I can see that IP Address of different subnet is able to come online. Can this be reason for this failure?

    The Availability Group listener on Azure is exposed on a public IP address that you get when you configure your Azure virtual network. Because you've created a load balanced set name (I assumed this because you've mentioned probe port,) the public IP address
    will be routed to different virtual machines via the probe port. The public IP with the public port needs to be mapped to the Availability Group listener public IP and private port, respectively. If your public port is the same as your private port on the
    Azure VM endpoint, then, the probe port on the Azure VM endpoint has to be the probe port on the Availability Group listener IP resource name. It's a bit confusing to understand the probe port in the context of Availability Groups because the concept is used
    for load balancing workload across virtual machines whereas Availability Groups do not necessarily perform load balancing.

  • Converting connection string to localDB to database in azure

    Hello there, I have an application that I'd like to upload on Azure (I have the free subscription, not that it matters anyway) and this application connects to a database where I store a few bits of data (only text based entries so really small). Now, on
    my localhost, this is the function that handles the connection:
    protected void clearTable(object sender, EventArgs e)
    hookUp = new SqlConnection("Server=(localdb)\\v11.0;Database=test4;" + "Integrated Security=True");
    strInsert = "DELETE FROM Overtime";
    sqlCmd = new SqlCommand(strInsert, hookUp);
    hookUp.Open();
    sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    hookUp.Close();
    So what should I replace this with?
    hookUp = new SqlConnection("Server=(localdb)\\v11.0;Database=test4;" + "Integrated Security=True");

    Hi Jazzotto,
    The connection strings for different drivers are available in the azure portal. After creating the database, navigate to the database dashboard (click on the database name in the overview list). On the right hand side you will find a few links, one of them
    is called 'Show connection strings'.
    Before attempting to connect you should also make sure you have the firewall rules configured correctly.
    Best,

  • Every time I try to download a game onto my phone, there's a pop-up which reads "the item requested is not available in your country" or something along those lines.  Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix it?

    I can download games onto my iphone 5 cause it says the items are not available in my country (south Africa) is there something I can do?

    Other than moving to a country where the apps you want are available, there is no fix.
