Azure CDN for Azure Website

I have an Azure Website and I would like to serve some of it via an Azure CDN. Apparently, this used to be possible by using a /cdn folder in an Azure Hosted Service however, you cannot create these any more.
If I try and create a Cloud Service (which replaced the Hosted Service), I just end up creating an Azure Web Site and you cannot connect a CDN to it.
So, my question is: How can I connect an Azure CDN to an Azure website?

Hi,
CDN in general has not been changed. Some old tutorials such as
http://blog.smarx.com/posts/using-the-windows-azure-cdn-for-your-web-application would still work. Please note it does not stand by website yet. It has to use web role. When you creating a cloud service, it works as a container. You can upload your
web roles to it. Cloud service is not website. In addition, at the moment it is needed to use the old Silverlight to manage CDN. We're in the progress to enable CDN management in the new portal, as described in the old portal:
Windows Azure CDN management experience will be available in the new Windows Azure Management Portal in the next couple months. Once this experience has been moved over, sometime this summer, the Silverlight Portal will be decommissioned. At that point,
you will no longer be able to use this Portal to manage your CDN assets and will only be able to do so through the new Portal.

Best Practice while configuring Traffic Manager for Azure Website

Hi Team,
I want to understand What is the best practice while we configure traffic manager for Azure website.
To give you the base, Here let me explain my requirement. I have one website which 40% target audiences would be East US, while 40% would be UK and rest 20% would be from Asia-pacific.
Now, What I want is Failover + Performance based Traffic Manager Configuration.
My thinking:
1) we need to create 1 website with 2 instances in each region (east us, east asia, west us for an example). so, total 3 deployment of website. (give region based url for the website)
2) create traffic manager based on performance and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonperformance
3) create traffic manager based on failover and add 3 of those instances. that would become website-tmonfailover
4) create traffic manager and ?? don't know the criteria but add both above traffic manager here and take your final url for end user.
I am not sure (1) this may be the right approach or not (2) if this is right, in the 4th step which criteria we should select while creating final traffic manager round-robin/ performance/ failover?
after all these if use try to access site from US.. traffic manager will divert that to US Data-Centre or it will wait for failover and till that it will be served from east-asia if in configuration, east-asia is my 1st instance?

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your quick reply. actually question is bit different. Let me explain you different way.
I was asking for recommendation from Azure Traffic Manager team. whether my understanding is correct or not.We want Performance with Failover.
So, One azure website we have: take an example todoapp. I deployed that in 3 different region. now, I want to have performance based routing as well as failover based routing. but obviously I can't give two URL to my end user. so, at the top of that I will
require one more traffic manager. So,
step 1: I will create one traffic manager with performance criteria named: TMForPerformance.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
step 2: I will create one more traffic manager with failover criteria named: TMForFailover.trafficmanager.com where I will add all those 3 instances (all are from different region so, it want create any issue.)
step 3: I will create one final traffic manager with performance criteria named: todoapp.trafficmanager.com where I will add these two traffic manager instead of 3 different region's website.
Question 1) Is it correct structure if we want to achieve Performance with Failover or Is there any better solution?
Question 2) in step 3, what criteria we should select? performance/ round robin/ failover

Over 10% downtime for Azure Website Shared?

My monitoring software is reporting about 11.52% downtime over the last 12 days for our Azure Website that is on a "Shared" plan. Is this normal for Azure? It seem something is wrong, most of other hosts guarantee at least 99% uptime.

Hi,
I would request you to monitor using Monitor management page and check if it shows the same thing, here is the link:

Cannot restart website using Azure/azure-sdk-for-node

I have a couple of websites working and running and I am trying to build a monitoring service for them.
One of the operations its supposed to do is restart the website. The SDK contains a restart function which issues a POST request to the azure management server. For some reason the request doesn't return the Pipeline's callback, it doesn't even enter there.
I have opened an issue on Github about it but for almost 2 weeks no answers : https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-node/issues/1407
Other requests work properly. The documentation says i can read more about it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dn236425.aspx , but this link isn't available anymore.
Can someone please help me?

Is there a list of best practices for Azure websites?

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.
Websites are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Websites? If so, what are they?
We will be the website in multiple datacenters and using traffic manager to point people to the right one. The website will run as a REST server using Web API 2, mostly for license checks from our app running on corporate Exchange servers. And a small part
will be for javascript based web pages used for account CRUD.
thanks - dave

sorry I was not sure if you were using a web server or what?
One other idea out of the slow cooker is to use a dedicated web server with SQL server running beside IIS
If you are using the standard web sites, then the SQL option is about as slow as FTP uploads, very slow
I have considered time of day too, and it seems Azure is less loaded early in the AM

Require a single App Pool for multiple websites in Azure Cloud Sevices

Hi All,
I am deploying multiple (very small) websites under one web role. The code set is identical but configured/DB per tenant. I am just getting this ready for production and have a huge road block where it is running out of memory. I have troubleshooted
this and its because it is allocating each website to its own app pool. It therefore has circa 500mb of ram allocated to each app pool after the app started. My websites don't require this segregation and as I wish to publish 50+ tiny websites
on one webrole, you can see my issue. 50*500mb. I have manually gone into the instance/IIS and moved the websites to one app role and it now works how I wish. The memory was released and even with every site under load, the increase in memory
is well within parameters. Can I please have some help in how I configure one app pool for all websites specified in the service definition please? Don't mind startup tasks as I already have those but not sure how it would know what the app pool
was called given its a GUID.
Thanks,
Steve.

Hi,
>> Don't mind startup tasks as I already have those but not sure how it would know what the app pool was called given its a GUID.
From my experience, you can write some code in the web role's OnStart method to alter application pool. You can refer to
http://blog.elastacloud.com/2011/01/26/windows-azure-apppool-settings-programmatic-modification/ for a sample.
However, you can also consider other approaches which may be better options. For instance, use a virtual machine which allows you to use UI to configure everything. Or use several WAWS Websites (free/shared) and host each small site as a single Website.
Those tires of Website does not offer all capability of web role, but if you just want to host a bunch of small sites which are rarely hit, they may save you the cost.

Azure CDN SSL3.0 Disabled?

Does Azure CDN Server end point has SSL3.0 disabled after the poodle attack vulnerability?
We are having users who just have SSL3.0 checked on their IE browser and are not able to view CDN content. Once they check TLS 1.0 they are able to see the content.

Hi,
SSL 3.0 Protocol is by default enabled for Azure Websites, Roles, and Windows Virtual Machines.
However, due to an industry-wide vulnerability affecting the SSL 3.0 protocol, it is possible to disable it.
It is also possible to disable SSLv3 on a server.
This ensures that all connections use the stronger TLS protocols.
Please note that users on legacy browsers, which only support SSL 3.0, will no longer be able to connect to the server.
You could refer the following link to disable SSL 3.0.

What are Azure limitations for Websockets in Cloud Services (web and worker role)?

A WebSocket Server should be built on Azure platform with OnPrem connections and have questions regarding limitations for Websockets in Azure Cloud Services - web and worker roles.
Websockets can be configured for Web Sites and limitations are understood, but Azure Websites is not an option.
Nevertheless it is planned to run a web service (without UI - no web site) as a Cloud service which has secure websocket (WSS) connections to OnPrem machines. Websocket protocol is enabled for IIS8 on Cloud services web and worker roles. Azure Service Bus Relay
is not an option.
Questions:
1) Are Websockets supported for Azure Cloud services web and worker roles? we assume yes
2) What are potential limitations from Azure side to support concurrent Websocket connections? We are aware that CPU, memory etc are limitations, but are there additional limitations from MS Azure side?

Hi,
As I know, azure cloud service web and worker role support Websockets, users can connect to the role via the special endpoint, if we use Azure cloud service, I think we can monitor the metrics such as CPU, memory, etc... and scale our cloud service via these
metrics to keep the websockets working, refer to
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-scale/ for more information about how to scale a cloud service.

Maximum disk size for azure site recovery

Hi everyone,
I am looking into Azure Site Recovery, and I can't seem to find the maximum disk size I would be able to replicate into Azure. I have read some articles saying that 1TB is the maximum size, and some people have said that it is 64TB!! I have a File
Server that I would like to protect which is 4TB in size, and if the limit is 1TB I think it is very limiting...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Hello Robert,
The current size limits for a VM replicating to Azure are :
For an OS VHD (the vhd that has the OS Installation) : 127 GB
For a Data VHD (<1 TB)
Is the size of your file server running on a single 4 TB volume?
Anoop KV
Hi Anoop,
Our File Server is currently running on a single 4TB volume. Do I have any options with regards to replicating this VM to Azure using Site Recovery?
Many thanks.

How to set same domain name for Azure Storage and Hosted Service

I have a web application running on azure and using azure storage with blob. My application allows to edit html files that are in the azure storage to save with another name and publish them later. I am using javascript to edit the html content that
I display in an Iframe but as the domain of my web application and the html that I try to edit are not the same, I got and this error "Unsafe JavaScript
attempt to access frame with URL "URL1" from frame with URL "URL2". Domains, protocols and ports must match".
I have been doing some research about it and the only way to make it work is to have the web application and the html that I want to access using javascript under the same domain.
So my question is: is it possible to have the same domain name in azure for the hosted service and the storage.
Like this:
hosted service: example.com
storage: example.com
By the way I already customize the domain names so they looks like this:
hosted service <mydomainname>.com
storage <blob.mydomainname>.com
Actually I have my application running in another hosting and I have no problem there since I have a folder where I am storing the files that I am editing so they are in the same domain as the application. I have been thinking in to do the same with Azure,
at least to have a folder where I can store the html file meanwhile I am editing it but I am not sure how much space I have in the hosted service to store temporary files.
let me know if you have a good tip or idea about how to solve this issue.

Hi Rodrigo,
Though both Azure Blob and Azure applications support custom domain, one domain could have only one DNS record (in this case is CNAME record) at one time. For Steve's case, he has 3 domains, blog.smarx.com, files.blog.smarx.com and cdn.blog.smarx.com.
> I would like to find a way to storage my html page that I need to edit under the same domain.
For this case, a workaround will be adding a http handler in your Azure application to serve file requests. That means we do not use the actual blob url to access blob content but send the request to a http handler then the http handler gets the content
from blob storage and returns it.
Please check
Accessing blobs in private container without Shared Access Secret key for a code sample.
Thanks.

(Disabled) Trial for Azure

Uh, hi.
Yesterday, I bought Azure Trial which is for 1 month. And today I saw the trial is disabled. I'm guessing this happened because I abused their service. Well, they're right but my aim was earn some money online using these VPSs and create domain, cancel
monetizing on VPSs and use them for my website.
It didn't go like I thought. Umm, is it possible to get my trial again? I'd be really happy.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Once trial has expired(1 month or $100 limit, what ever comes first), your only option is to buy.
You can try to make new trial account but you cannot use one that is disabled.

DreamSpark subscription for Azure is not apperaring in my Subscriptions in VS2013 Professional

I have a DreamSpark subscription for Azure but when I create a new MVC application and try to host it in Cloud my subscription doesn't appear in the list.

Hi Abdullah2993,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
Based on your issue, I am afraid that it is out of support range of this forum. So I suggest you could ask this issue directly to this
DreamSpark official website: https://www.dreamspark.com/Support/FAQ/Default.aspx, you will get better support.
Or you could try to consult this issue directly to the Azure forum:

Azure CDN Endpoint URL not Resolving

My objective is to deliver a payload via Azure CDN.Created a storage account> Created a Container > Uploaded the exe file(payload) using Azure Explorer. The Direct URL works.
I createad a CDN using the quick create option.It shows CDN is enabled. But on clicking the URL,It does resolve.
Can someone help me.

Hi rainbowerxtreme,
Could you please check the following ?
a) The CDN is created on the same storage account you have uploaded the exe to.
b) Please check if the Container to which the file is uploaded is a Public Container. Only blobs that are publically available can be cached with the
Azure CDN. To make a blob publically available for anonymous access, you must denote its container as public. Once you do so, all blobs within that container will be available for anonymous read access.
Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ff919703.aspx
