Cloud Service roles update issues

Hi Team,
we deployed a cloud service in EMEA windows azure (North Ireland).
There are worker roles and web roles in the cloud service , it's strange that when we update the web role the worker roles are rebooted at the same time.
we thought that the worker role update should not affect other roles , please advice,
thanks in advance.

Thanks Nagamalar for
the reply,
add some comments here.
These roles, are they hosted from Azure Management portal or Visual Studio?
[comment] The roles are all hosted from Azure Management portal.
What is the update you are performing, is it a Configuration file or a Package file?
[comment] We are performing to update package.
Or when you apply the updates do you choose all instances or a particular instance for the update? (In case
of an instance created in Azure Management Portal)
[comment]We are choosing a particular role to update. we have both web role and worker role in a cloud service. but we just update the web role at that moment.
one more question:
when we update a specific role, the step are the following:
1. download the configuration file
2. choose the specific roles to update and upload package and the configuration file
3. check the two options under roles
4. click OK button to update the cloud service.
in this case, will the configuration files will be treated as a new one or old one.
Thanks in advance.

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.

Can't RDP to any cloud service roles, even though it has been enabled through the Azure portal

Hi
I have a cloud service deployed to one of my subscriptions. I have enabled remote desktop connection access using the Azure portal.
However, when I attempt to RDP to any one of the 5 roles in the cloud service, my attempts are rejected with the usual red "X" error:
"Remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:
1) Remote access to the server is not enabled
2) The remote computer has been turned off
3) The remote computer is not enabled on the network
Make sure that the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network and that remote access is enabled"
Note that I have tried reimaging all roles, deleting the deployment, deleting and recreating the cloud service itself, and none of these will give me RDP access to any of the roles. I have no idea why this will not work.
Also note, that RDP access can be enabled and used with no problems, in a different cloud service.
Can anyone help?

Hi Mark,
Have you ever previously been able to RDP to these roles?
Have you tried creating a new certificate for RDP?

Cloud After Effects Update issue

Hi,
I am having issues updating CS6 11.0.0 After effects which I installed through my cloud membership. Is there a reason it won't update to CS6 11.0.2?
Any help would be great!!
Cheers

Hi Todd,
Thanks for your reply.
I did try that and it gave me the message "Please contact you Administrator if you wish to apply updates on your machine. Updates have been suppressed by the Administrator". I also tried downloading the update and then installing which also gave me the same message. I spoke to our tech guys in the IT department and they said updates etc are not suppressed by them. I downloaded After Effects CC and that seems to be the most up to date version of the application. So I am guessing you can't update the CS6 version you download from the Cloud.
So my problem has been solved by getting After Effect CC but still weird I can't update the CS6 version I downloaded from the cloud.
Cheers

SAP GRC - ERM - Role update issue - Business Process and Subprocess

Hello Friends:
We are NOT currently maintaining Business processes or sub processes in GRC 5.3 for all roles. We don't want to maintain them in GRC 10 when we upload the roles. These 2 fields are Mandatory in GRC 10.0 - Can we make them NOT mandatory and leave them blank?? Currently we are facing some issues in uploading the roles
Please advise.
Regards
Ashish

Dear Ameet:
I just dislike the idea where SAP has made options for Business Process and Subprocess columns mandatory in uploading the roles as well from backend.
I am NOT using BRM, but still need to upload the roles for SAP to recognize them to be assigned to the users in GRC 10.0
I was facing the issues in uploading the roles initially, but now i have made it simple - just assign all the roles without the information of being FI or SD or Mm - to IT00 business process and sub process. So, all the roles are now uploaded to the system. I was just curious to know if they can me made Non-mandatory field by any settings.
But anyways, thanks for your input.

Cloud service web role did not get request

Hi Team,
we have an application host in web role in a cloud service,
sometimes it keeps loading when clicking a button in GUI and got no response till our GUI timeout (30 minutes)
we use Fiddler to trace the http request and also check IIS logs and found that sometimes the web role didn't get a request, sometimes the IIS
got the request and finished to processe the request but didn't return result to GUI.
it seems the message lost during interaction between UI and web role.
note that this problems comes out just recently.
is there some known issues related with this kind of problems.
thanks in advance.

hi Baker,
Firstly, I need confirm what's meaning is GUI from your description ? The GUI is your cloud service project UI? Or your UI in your client?
Secondly, base on my experience, we usually could occur timeout error because of the azure load balancer and the long time request.
For this error, I recommend you refer to those thread:
Azure Web Role - Long Running Request (Load Balancer Timeout?)
Windows Azure Load Balancer TimeOut for Cloud Service Roles (PAAS Web/Worker)
Windows Azure Load Balancer Timeout Details

Add Operational Insights to Cloud Service during publish

Hello,
I have several Azure Services that I am already utilizing Application Insights on. What I would like to do is have Operational Insights added during the standard "Publish to Windows Azure" that I use from Visual Studio thereby removing the need
to manually remote into the machine and then install Microsoft Monitoring Agent and configuring my account. Can you point me to some resources demonstrating or explaining how to accomplish this?
A couple of notes:
My group has dozens of services and workers so manual install/configure is not an option for us.
All of our machines currently also have Application Insights setup and running so MMA already has a tab for Application Insights that displays if you open MMA however, there is no tab available in MMA for Operational Insights. The only way that I can add
this tab is to uninstall and then re-install using the installer found on the Operational Insights site however, doing so removes Application Insights.
Thanks!

We are working on a VM Extension to push the agent into IaaS VMs from Azure Portal as a first class experience.
The community has also come up with a DSC resource already anyway!
http://www.powershellmagazine.com/2014/11/26/dsc-resource-module-for-microsoft-monitoring-agent-install-and-configuration-for-azure-operational-insights/
For Cloud Services, we don't need/use the agent but support them already by pulling their logs from WAD - if the roles are configured to write to WAD (the usual way) we'll pick Windows Events and IIS logs (at the moment) - more data sources ideas pls see
this category on the feedback forum

We think a lot of the other scenarios/IP's don't make sense for PaaS:
- System Updates: since PaaS roles are auto-updated
- AntiMalware: we are investigating how to support Anti Malware scenario using logs - read the comment from Richard on this thread for queries using Windows Events you can do today for that scenario
http://feedback.azure.com/forums/267889-azure-operational-insights/suggestions/6519202-support-other-antivirus-products-in-malware-assess#comments
- Capacity is currently only focused on HyperV (private cloud) but we'll be able to support 'performance' type information thru WAD again
http://feedback.azure.com/forums/267889-azure-operational-insights/suggestions/6662146-open-up-the-capacity-management-pack-for-other-sys so no agent needed either...
- SQL Assessment: you don't install SQL in Cloud Services roles; you do in IaaS VMs.
and so on...
The agent for AppInsights and OpInsights at the moment are not compatible - see this
http://feedback.azure.com/forums/267889-azure-operational-insights/suggestions/6660334-it-s-good-if-we-have-single-mma-file-for-appinsigh but again, you use Appinsights agent in your Web Roles, and you use OpInsights agent in your VMs, and for the
web roles you get the info into OpInsights from WAD. that is the most common use case.

Unable to login to cloud services

Is there anybody else having issues with cloud services ?
We have 5 cloud services with SQL DB back end, from last one hour i am unable to login to any of our app running on these cloud services.
Our services are located in Southeast Asia, all the 5 cloud services are having issues at the same time so i cant see any problem from our end.
Status page says all the services are running okay.

Apologize for the inconvenience, agree with you regarding this, however we are not sure if this is indeed a backend issue and in order to determine the cause and troubleshoot the issue, we will require the deployment ID and subscription details which is
not recommended to be posted in the public forums. I would suggest you purchase a support plan and speak to a support professional who can, based on the diagnosis take appropriate actions.
You can refer to the following link which gives information about the different support plans. You can also contact the billing/subscription team with a free ticket for more information.

Cloud service update issue

Hi Team,
when we use cloud service update function to update a specific web role,
the message shows the role was updated successfully,
when we remote to that web role and found that the files in F(or E) the location where our application are deployed,
didn't be updated actually.
are there some known issues related this or what logs can we check to diagnostic the problem.
thanks in advance.

Hello Baker,
Thanks for posting here.
Please refer this article which talks about update a cloud service.

'role discovery data is unavailable' cloud service (staging)

This has been posted on stackoverflow, so apologies for the cross post, but I'm trying to gain traction on fixing this and losing time.
I currently have a production cloud service working. I moved a project dependency from being a direct dll reference to local nuget package and after some re-factoring, decided to deploy my efforts to the staging site.
Locally, the changes with the dependency appears to be working correctly; the site loads and works well using the azure compute emulator.
However, when I deploy to the staging environment (via visual studio publish to azure option) the deployment fails as it detects multiple cycles of the instance which points to a spin up issue. When I've jumped on the box to try and find the route cause, I
can see the dreaded role discovery data is unavailable exception.
My gut hunch is nuget has updated a package which caused this but can't see what and why it would work locally but not in the cloud. I thought it might be the azure caching but it looks as though I'm using the same version as the live (working) site.
- Does anyone have a fix for this?
- If this works locally (cuts out many answers I've seen when you see this using the emulator), what am I missing or including to prevent this working in the cloud?
- Is there a way I can debug this further to find out why I'm getting the exception
Many, many thanks in advance to anyone who spares any time reading this

Hi Sir,
Base on my experience, if we implement the references using NuGet, we could see those DLL files from "References". I recommend you could set those DLL files "Copy Local" to "true". And try to deploy project
again. And I wondered know what error details when you deployed project. The link below is about how to remote debug cloud service, please try it.

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"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<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).

Publish cloud service fails from Visual Studio 2013 Update 4: Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

I have a cloud service project with two roles (service and worker). In Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 when I choose "Publish..." from the "Solution Explorer", it opens "Microsoft Azure Activity Log" and quickly terminates.
Here the log:
9:43:47 AM - Applying Diagnostics extension.
9:44:09 AM - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
All works fine when uploading the package and updating from https://manage.windowsazure.com/. It only fails from within Visual Studio.
What can I do to get it working?

I have the same problem with our Azure project. Two web roles (service and worker). Just updated from SDK2.2 to SDK2.5 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 to Update 4. The main reason behind this was to move from log4net to WAD and in doing so, of course directly
move to the new diagnostics version.
Now, I get the same error message in Visual Studio:
11:45:24 - Checking for Remote Desktop certificate...
11:45:25 - Applying Diagnostics extension.
11:45:45 - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
With my small testing project - also two roles (service and worker) - everything is fine. However, I'm looking for a solution to make by existing production service working.
Also the test project shows no Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml,
but this is no problem - so what's the meaning of or solution to this error messages?
What I found so far:
I deployed the Azure project from the same development environment to another Azure test service: Deployment
showed no errors and the service is running fine! So the problem is not with the source, the development environment, library dependencies etc.
Trying Azure cmdlets for PowerShell also work fine for the new service and fails for the production service with almost the same error message:
Following http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kwill/archive/2014/12/02/windows-azure-diagnostics-upgrading-from-azure-sdk-2-4-to-azure-sdk-2-5.aspx
I tried:
PS C:\> Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $public_config -ServiceName $service_name -Slot 'Staging' -Role $role_name
VERBOSE: Setting PaaSDiagnostics configuration for MyWebRole.
Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension : BadRequest : Published Asset Entry for Image
Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension], CloudException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudException,Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.ServiceManagement.
Extensions.SetAzureServiceDiagnosticsExtensionCommand
The problem seems to be related to those service configuration parts in the cloud which are not replaced
by a new deployment... So what are possible reasons or fixes for this behaviour?

Andreas

We have concerns with Adobe Acrobat DC - document cloud services and how it relates to HIPAA. Has anyone else worked through these issues?

We have questions relating to the Document Cloud services offered with Acrobat DC. We are considering disabling the cloud feature to stay in compliance with HIPAA. Has anyone else worked through these issues?

Hi mikem82897618,
You can refer the following link to know what can be done with Adobe Document Cloud Services when working in Acrobat DC:
Store Files Online, Share & Access From Anywhere | Adobe Acrobat.com
Also, visit this link to know more on how Adobe Document Cloud services are compliant with HIPAA security standards:
E-signatures vs digital signatures | eSign services from Adobe
Please specify more details on the same as why you would need to disable the Cloud feature.
What and where exactly are you facing the trouble?
Let me know.

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.

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
