Azure website protection

Hi,
I have done some research on protecting against DDoS in regards to Azure websites. I have found the following "Threat mitigation and protection of customer environments is similar to that used in many on-premises datacenters."
Does "Threat mitigation and protection of customer environments" include Azure customer websites that are deployed to Azure? As a Azure website user, do I need to sign up for this protection service, or is this service enabled by default for Azure
websites? I am not using a VM, but am using a Azure website instead.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Simon,
MS Azure platform has the DDOS protection for Azure website by default. Windows Azure has built-in load balancers that will stave off most (if not all) DOS type attacks. I suggest you could refer to this similar threads:

Certificate for Azure Websites in the VNET

Hi,
I created a point-to-site connectivity from Azure websites to existing VNET. My Questions are:
1. Eventhough I add more than one website the client count in the Dashboard of the VNET is not showing increment more than 1. What is the reason?
2. How do I change the certificate used by the Azure website that is getting generated while connecting to VNET through point-to-site? It seems it all the websites connecting the VNET using same auto generated certificate. How and Why?
Thanks in Advance,
With Best Regards,
Kasinath

Hi Kasinath,
Where did you create the websites? Are they in the same web hosting plan? Based on my experience, only websites are running on a web hosting plan that’s in the ‘Standard’ pricing tier can be connected to a virtual network. A website can only
be connected to one network at a time and you can only have up to 5 networks configured in your web hosting plan.
In addition, the system will then create a certificate to authenticate with your VNET if it is the first website in your subscription to establish a connection to that network. Why did you want to change the certificate?

Creation of Microsoft Azure Website failed. The application already exists

Trying to create a new website, I get this error:
Creating Microsoft Azure Website
Creation of Microsoft Azure Website failed. The application already exists. The remote server returned an unexpected response: (409) Conflict.
I succeeded to create this website earlier on and then I deleted it as I didn't need it anymore.
Now I want to create it again but I get this error even though I've deleted all websites, hosting plans, cloud service, etc from my Azure account.
Any idea on how to fix this?

At this point, I don't know how it happened, but we'll need to dig deeper. I believe there is a sequence that can cause problems if you create a site via Current portal and delete it via Preview, but I'm not sure.
BTW, it seems you have 2 other sites that may be in the same situation (deleted in a way that you couldn't recreated them). They're 'shortl...dev' and 't..d' (not giving full name to avoid squatters!). Do you think you'll want to recreate them later? If
so, we can do the same maneuver to get back to a good state.

Creation of Microsoft Azure Website failed. Cannot move or create server. Subscription ' id ' will exceed server quota.

I'm trying to create a new MVC website with azure cloud server. However, when creating my project/solution in visual studio I get the following error.
Creation of Microsoft Azure Website failed. Cannot move or create server. Subscription '<id>' will exceed server quota.
During the day I created several MVC projects, as a learning exercise, and it worked fine. Now it's failing every time I create a new MVC website with Azure.
Every time I created a website, I have always deleted any generated Azure sites and databases via the management portal. Currently I have no websites in Azure. Thus I don't see how I've reached a quota,
Any ideas what might be going wrong?
My subscription is pay as you go.
Thanks for your time,
Rob

Hi,
It might be due to various other resources (sql DB, application insight, etc) that you may have created while deploying earlier websites, and filled up your Quota. Due to which, creating new resources would exceed the quota limit.
Check for the unused resources and clear them. It may clear the error and allow you to create new websites.
Otherwise, It should be an Account related issue than Technical issue. I suggest you contact Azure support, it is a best choice for you, Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at

Best practice to use the Slot on Azure Website

Hi Team,
I want to understand the website slot feature little deeper. Can anyone suggest that How should we plan while we have testing, staging & production environment on Azure? (Development might be from Visual Studio Azure Emulator)
Take an example, we have ToDoApp. How should we use Azure Website & Slot feature to make it available for Testing, Staging & Production?
Q1) Should we create two different site (1 for Testing and Staging while 2 for Production) or should we use all in one with 3 slot?
Q2) If we create two different site like as I said in Q1 How should we move the package from Staging to Production once it done with staging?
Q3) If we have one single site instead of two, Can we have role based feature like, Whoever is swapping the slot from testing to staging would do upto that level only. while from staging to production except Product Admin no-one can do?
Q4) If none of the above is recommended then what would it be & How should we use swapping feature there for move package on production?
Regards, Brijesh Shah

Hi Brij,
Deployment slots were developed with whole development lifecycle in mind. A good practice is to have a source control branch for stage of the environment so you know what are the changes. There are generally two types of development:
One branch - always fix forward and goes to production at least once per day. The build might get deployed to staging environment (slot) to run full functional validation before taking live traffic and then deployed to Production. With Azure Websites this
could be as simple as swap staging to Production slot. After swap (new) staging is ready to take next build and run another set of validation. So one site with many slots here
Multiple branches - when deploying to Prod is slower you need multiple branches and slots, and stabilization phase. This means you can have Dev branch where is vNext - vNext slot (you can setup continuous deployment here so every check in is deployed),
Main branch where only selected changes are integrated or when is time for a major Release or hotfix - points on Stage slot, Release branch pointing to PreRelease slot which later to be swapped with Production after deployment to avoid
cold start. Better to stay with one site and may slots as well but current limitation is 5 slots.
Thus said swap is the easiest way to move code thru stages :). There are many features there that can be used:
during swap some settings stay at slot while others are moved with the code (this is available only in PowerShell and SDK at the moment)
Auto swap - to avoid cold start you can deploy to PreRelease slot and auto swap with Production slot right after it finishes the deployment (this is available only in PowerShell and SDK at the moment)
TiP - redirect only small % of the traffic to PreRelease slot (vNext or your choice) to expose let's say 1 % of customers to new code base.
Video
on Q3: RBAC(role based access control) allows you to do exactly this. only admin can have access to Production slot and separate groups can have access to other slots. Thus only admin can swap with production
Hope that helps,

There are no more endpoints available on Azure Website

I am just trying to setup a simple web app that pings a IP address and host it on Azure Websites. I have a standard website (not the free tier) and I have web sockets turn ON.
I am just sending a simple ping using the system.net.networkinformation.ping part of the .net api. It runs fine within VS.NET on my machine when deploying local. however when I publish to my azure website, and run it there I get
There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper
I've tried looking on the azure configuration, the only obvious thing I noticed was making sure websockets was turned on. (and it is)
Any ideas? im sure it is some simple configuration and im just missing something? or are there certain things they do not allow from a Azure Website?
Thanks a bunch for looking at my question!
--Ryan

Hi,
I am afraid, Azure website doesn't support ping, if you need Inbound & Outbound ping, please vote this feedback:

PDF Generator failing on Azure Website but not development machine

I am using EVOPDF for testing html to pdf.
http://idealpi.azurewebsites.net/defaultpdf.aspx
On local development works fine in full trust. When run on Azure website Reserved mode with full trust in web.config I get error.
Could not get conversion result header. Data receive error. Could not receive
data. Error code: 109
A similar post on discounet.asp site
http://community.discountasp.net/showthread.php?t=14232
indicates this is a full trust issue, but I have full trust defined in web.config
<configuration><system.web> <trust level="Full" />
Is full trust not full trust? Is there another way to define Full Trust?
Greg
PS
The EO company responsed with the following
For scalability and stability reasons, EO.Pdf performs the actual conversion in a separate worker process instead of inside your Web application process. That is probably what’s failing in your environment since in a Web only environment it usually won’t
allow you to spawn your own worker process.
Any workarounds using WAWS?

I have solved problem, with large files (~150 pages).
My Evo to Pdf version is 5.17 under 64bits process (iis 7.5) .
Making this change in web.config works ok

Linking Azure website with Remote mysql database in Cpanel

I am creating an azure website eg calvynlee.azurewebsites.net
In my hosting cpanel account, I create a mysql db & user, in order to link the azure website with this mysql db, I had place a "%" in the remote mysql section.
It works, but when I remove the % from the remote mysql section. Azure website unable show error connection with my database.
Question:
Understand that placing % is allow all remote connection to my database. For security purpose, placing % is not recommended, and placing the website IP address is the most suitable practice.
Unfortunately, I place the website IP (by ping the website and obtain the IP) in remote mysql section is not working.
My cpanel service provider mention that the IP I obtain is not the right IP, there will be another host sever IP
What is the actual IP address I should put? and How to find this right IP?

Hi,
Based on your description, your mysql db is created in cpanel, and want to let the azure website connect with this db, I don't familar with cpanel, in general way the azure website request may be stopped by something, such as firewall etc.., as far as I
know, the azure Hybrid Connections may meet your requirement, you can connect a website on Microsoft Azure to any on-premises resource that uses a static TCP port, such as SQL Server, MySQL, HTTP Web APIs, Mobile Services, and most custom Web Services, refer
to
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-hybrid-connection-get-started/ for more details, hope this helps, if not, please feel free to let me know.

Azure Websites suspended - why, and how do I reactivate it? Cannot submit tech support request

Hello,
Our company has an Microsoft Action Pack subscription. I have an MSDN Subscription allocated to me. Through the MSDN Subscription, I have a monthly $70 Azure credit. I have been using this Azure credit to test Azure Websites.
I have noticed this month (March 2015) that two of my websites are showing "Suspended" in the portal.
I suspect this probably happened in January 2015 when we had a particularly busy testing month and I used up all my Azure credit for the month, however the current status leaves me puzzled:
1. I can't find a specific record of when, or why, the websites were suspended. Can someone tell me how to discover this?
2. If it was due to exhausting my monthly credit, why did they not become re-enabled the following month when my account went back into credit?
3. How do I raise a tech support ticket against this subscription for this problem, or other problems I may have with Azure during my development and testing?
I have had various fruitless phone and email exchanges with Microsoft representatives, often suggesting I purchase technical support for this subscription in order to submit a ticket. As an MSDN subscriber, I shouldn't need to, according to this blog post
from Microsoft:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mast/archive/2013/10/24/windows-azure-technical-support-for-msdn-technet-or-mpn-users-and-partners.aspx
However, the process described is not working for me, when it asks for my Contract ID and Access ID, it ignores it and redirects to the same screen without an error message.
As a software developer, it is still challenging to recommend Azure hosting to clients when services become suspended without warning or explanation, and technical support channels are unclear or broken.
Any insight appreciated.
Michael

Hi Cristhian,
Thank you for re-enabling the websites. So, my immediate issue is resolved in that the websites are running again, but I do have a question about the root cause of this issue.
If I use up my monthly credit before the end of the month and the websites get suspended again, will I need to repeat this process to get them re-enabled, or would you expect them to automatically re-enable when my account is back in credit?
I'm still having trouble lodging a technical support request for Azure under my MSDN subscription, but I will include the detail in a reply email to your colleague Sudha.
Thanks,
Michael

For my Azure Website, I don't see instrumentation for its dependent Azure database

I followed the instructions found at Application Insights Azure WebSite extensions but I don't see any instrumentation for the
Azure SQL database that the Azure website uses.
For the windows "Application Health / Overview timeline"
I see graphs for Client Process time, Send Request Time, Server Response Time, Server Requests and Failed Requests, but no SQL
For the windows "Diagnostics / Diagnostics timeline"
I see graphs for Server Exceptions, Browser Exceptions, Failed Requests and "DEPENDENCY FAILURES" has as text box over it stating "Learn how to collect dependent resource data". It seems that it should be able to see the Sql Server,
but it doesn't
Any thoughts how to fix this,

Hi John,
Thanks for confirming your AI Nuget version is 0.12. What I meant by "choose site extension" is that if you follow the process in the blog post that you reference (Application
Insights Azure WebSite extensions) there's step #2 that describes how to enable Application Insights extension from Azure Websites blade - click on Extensions part, click +, Add Site Extension, Choose Site Extension, Application Insights Extension,
wait for it to be installed, verify that it appears in your Installed Extensions list. Please can you confirm that you have enabled it for your website.
Thanks!

Problem with multiple WordPress Azure Websites?

I've been using Azure to host my Wordpress blog for a while with no issues. Today I tried creating a 2nd Wordpress website on Azure though and I'm having a problem.
After setting up the website, when I click on <new blog>.azurewebsites.net I get to a blank white page, if I try <new blog>.azurewebsites.net/wp-admin I get redirected to <existing blog>.azurewebsites.net/wp-login to login to
my existing blog's dashboard.
One thing that might be worth mentioning is that when creating the new blog I used my existing MySQL database. Could that be a problem?

Hi,
Please try to create a new web hosting plan, then create a new wordpress and select this as your web hosting plan, refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/benjaminperkins/archive/2014/10/01/azure-website-hosting-plans-whp.aspx

Cookieless session causes redirect loop when deployed to Azure Website

I have a website that needs to use cookieless session. The website works fine locally and the session key gets passed into each request url as expected. However, when deployed to an Azure website, the website requests cause a redirect loop by reloading the
url over and over again with new session keys each time. I've tried setting regenerateExpiredSessionId to false but that does not have any effect. The Azure Website works okay with UseCookies, but I need to use cookieless session for other technical reasons.
What can be done to resolve this issue or get more insight into why it is happening?

Hi,
Disabling the affinity can be done in two ways:
In your application
In a site configuration
Which one did you tried.
Regards,
Azam khan
I'm unmarking this as an answer. In no way does this answer the original question. In my previous reply I stated that I used web.config setting to disable ARR Infinity cookie. This did not resolve my problem. Also, could you please take a minute to describe
why you think disabling this feature would solve the problem? The original link you posted does not mention cookieless session or give any description of why that would be related to my problem.
Thanks for trying to help, but unfortunately this has not solved the problem. If you have more details, please provide them.

Is CDN built in Azure Websites or CDN needs to be created and linked to website for content sharing

Is CDN built in Azure Websites or CDN needs to be created and linked to website for content sharing...

Hi
CDN is a separate service in Azure and you can serve your content there.
Then your azure website can use those CDNs that you provide in azure (just like any other CDN out there like Jquery Ajax etc ..)
