Help! Azure Cloud Services and Virtual Machine Web Servers Load Balancing

I have a cloud service. I have two virtual machines setup as web servers each with IIS installed. I have configured my domain registrar to point my domain name to the cloud service IP address. I also went into the endpoints of each virtual machine and verified
that I have http port 80 setup on both in a load balanced set.
I am unable to access websites on either server at this point. DNS propogation site shows "error: token mismatch"...this has been setup since yesterday and still error.
Can anyone assist me in where I went wrong? Am I confused to how the cloud service should work? I am assuming it will allow me to load balance the two virtual machines in the way I have configured above. Please help!!!!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in here.
We are checking on this issue and will get back at earliest.

How to enable diagnostics in cloud services and virtual machine

Hi All,
I need to enable diagnostics for cloud services and virtual machine in our
cloud environment. I referred the below link.
https://convective.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/using-azure-monitoring-services-api-with-azure-cloud-services/
Installed azure SDK 2.5 and cloud services instance is not displayed for cloud services in Visual studio 2013. Please provide the steps to enable at run time.
1) How to enable this diagnostics at run time.
2) How to enable event logs for cloud and Virtual machine
3) How to get the event log data's from REST API.
Please help to resolve this.
Thanks.

Azure backup services and Virtual machines

If I use the Azure backup service with the Storage server 2012 r2 and backup my virtual machines, can I then use that backup and use the virtual machine service to host them if I have a disaster to my server equipment and use it until my new hardware comes
in? If so is this a hard thing to do and what would be the best practice to follow to implement this?

Hi Aaron,
The Azure Site Recovery is suitable for your situation.
Azure Site Recovery helps you to protect important applications by coordinating the replication and recovery of physical or virtual machines. You can replicate to your own datacenter, to a hosting service provider, or even to Azure to avoid the expense and
complexity of building and managing your own secondary location.
For detailed information, please refer to the link below:

Connect Cloud Service with Virtual Machine

Hi,
Recently migrated my Website to one of Virtual Machine ( Windows 2008 R2 ). Migrated all my MySQl, tomccat, memcache and code.. Now if I hit localhost on Virtual Machine I can see website up and running.
But When tried to connect it from outside failed to do so.
Can someone help me to setup cloud service pointing to this virtual machine. Already setup access points etc pointing to this VM

Have you created an endpoint for HTTP? Sounds like that is what is missing...

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

Azure: "Cloud Services" for VM - Load Balancing, yes, and other things?

I'm trying to get a handle on the significance of the cloud service
(that is created when a new VM is created). I understand that a group of
VMs need to belong to the same cloud service in order to participate in
Load Balancing. I can't see any other reason to group VMs into a single
Cloud Service. On the other hand it seems like overkill to create a
cloud service for each VM.
Are there any advantages/reasons to adding a group of VMs to Cloud Service other than Load Balancing?

Hi,
If you made a group VMs as a cloud service, you can configure them and manage them by yourself, you could select Linux or Windows Server VMs and either compose the VM images in the cloud or upload a VHD you’re previously
created using Hyper-V, You can capture a VM and add it your image gallery for easy reuse. you also could run a product like Active Directory or SQL Server or SharePoint Server successfully, etc...
I suggest you have a look at following article. (create VM as cloud service belong to IaaS)

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

In azure cloud service with Location West Europe, why the IP address shows the server is locate in United States?

We have 9 projects in azure cloud service, and all are use West Europe location, but with different subscription, and we found that one of those cloud service which its IP address is United
States(Why?) and others are all in Amsterdam(this is correct)
Can someone explain why? the server which it's ip located in United
States is very slow, BTW i'm in Amsterdam.

Hi LH,
I have saw the same problem on Brazil. There has some comments about this issue, you can refer to it:
Microsoft owns large ranges of IP addresses which are typically registered in Redmond, so usually Azure IP addresses around the world show up as being
physically located in Redmond when using these types of tools.
It's more or less an issue with the way our IP are registered. They all "belong" to Microsoft in the US and Brasil
IP locator tools like whatismyip are sometimes incorrect. Some will give the real location, some will give the location of the ISP, etc …
IP geo lookup tools typically rely on a static database of IP address range registrations.
It's a Microsoft issue in the sense that we may publish the correct location for our datacenters
(eg. Amsterdam should locate in Europe and not in Redmond…) – but it's also a 3rd party tools issue.
If you want to be sure – use
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dn175718.aspx
And you could also see this blog about this issue :

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.

Slow site, latency between cloud service and SQL Azure?

We have a web site that works pretty swiftly in a local development environment. But once deployed to Azure it slows down to a crawl (even for a single user). Some pages take 30-60 seconds to load. Even the simplest pages take between 5 and 10 seconds.
The app is rather data intensive, so the way I see it, there is a slow connection between the cloud service and the SQL node. We currently use S2 instance, the S1 and S0 didn't work at all because of timeouts. When we execute queries directly against the database,
they all return within milliseconds, so it is not a query performance issue. It seems that there is a big penalty on establishing the connection between the web node and SQL node.
I am not sure if this is a provisioning issue. At times it actually begins to work a bit faster. Not quite as fast in a local environment, but barely acceptable. But then it goes back to excruciatingly slow. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi Mimo,
Is this a 5-20second load time something that occurs every time you load the page or just on the first time you load it (cold start)? The default website settings might tear down your site after a period of inactivity and I'm wondering
if that might be what's causing the performance issues.
Couple of things you might want to check :
- Increase the Instance count
- Check the Monitor Tab in Azure Website to see how much of CPU, DataIN and Data Out time is taken for a request to the site.
Recommend you to see this thread discussion on Failed request tracing
for troubleshooting on Slow requests and a video on
Troubleshooting Slow Requests with Failed Request Tracing that might help troubleshoot the slowness of website.

How to develop and deploy multiple worker roles in single azure cloud services?

I am Manikandan, From Myeasydocs.com.
We have developed our application as web projects. Now we are going to move to azure cloud services, i have successfully migrated our application in cloud services and it worked fine. I am having difficulties with back ground task. i have nearly 12
schedule tasks in our applications. I need assist on creating multiple worker role creation and deployment.
Is there is any site on explaining the worker role process in details?
Thanks in advance .. !!

Hi,
In Worker role, Applications hosted within worker roles can run asynchronous, long-running or perpetual tasks independent of user interaction or input. It is a service component that is useful for generalized development, and may perform background processing
for a web role. A worker role is frequently used for long-running tasks that are non-interactive, but you can host any type of workload.
I suggest you to follow the below article which explains about Creating and Deploying of Web Roles and Worker Roles in Azure Cloud Service using Visual Studio.

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:

Azure Web Apps (Web Sites) vs Azure Cloud Services (Web Roles)

Hi All,
Need some help in choosing between the Web App or a Web Role for a MVC5 application that we are going to build. We are planning to build an MVC5 application which will consume a Web API (hosted on Azure). The MVC5 application would be an external site and
it needs to be load balanced and it would be hosted on Azure.
We are not able to decide on the hosting options for the same ... between Azure Web Apps and a Web Role. We didnt come across anything which will help us to make a choice as to where the Web Apps fall short or which one should one go for etc.
Any help on this front would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Saurabh

To make your life easier you should start by using Web Apps, they have many more features than Web Roles (git deployment, backup, free sku, webjobs, continuous integration and many more).
There are some scenarios that are not supported like remote desktop to the VM.
But the reason you should start with them is that unlike Web Roles you won't have any special code relying on the environment you are running on so you will be able to easily move to web roles in case you find a scenario that is not supported by Web Apps.
