SMTP Server Windows Azure Cloud

Hello everyone,
Currently intern at a BI company, I must implement a decision-making on a VM Windows Azure Cloud.
Since few days I am facing a problem.
I must implement an automatic email sending in the case of an error.
To do this, I need to specify an SMTP server.
When I'm local (on my machine), I have no problem, I use the SMTP server used my company.
Of course, the SMTP server of the company does not work in the Cloud.
Can you clarify me about this if you have some answers ?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards,
Vivien

One suggestion may be to create a VPN between Azure and your environment, and use your local SMTP server for this.

Moving SMTP server to Azure with Load balancer

How to
move SMTP server to Azure with Load balancer???

Hi TechM,
Base on my experience, Windows Azure Platform does not provide out-of-the-box mail server (neither SMTP nor POP3). You could use SendGrid to sent mail. About this issue, I recommend you could refer to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10631585/email-sending-approaches and
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/patrick_butler_monterde/archive/2010/10/11/sending-e-mail-from-windows-azure-part-1-of-2.aspx
Hope it helps.

"Failed to debug the Windows Azure Cloud Service project. The Output directory .... does not exist" - Looking for Solution Config Name Folder?

Good evening,
I've been working on and with a VS2013 Update 2 / Azure SDK 2.3 Cloud Service project for a while now and never had a problem debugging it (setting the .ccproj Project as Startup Project) but at the moment I cannot Debug it anymore - I always get the following
error message:
Failed to debug the Windows Azure Cloud Service project. The output directory 'D:\Workspace\Development\Sources\AzureBackend\csx\Backend - Debug' does not exist.
Now what's odd here, is the last part - the "Backend - Debug" is the Solution configuration name, ALL projects in that particular solution configuration are set to the Debug Configuration. The .ccproj file also only specifies Debug|Any CPU (and
Release|Any CPU respectively) as its output folder(s). Why is the Solution config appearing up there?
And more importantly.. why is this happening and what can I do?!
Thanks,
-Jörg
Ps: there seems to be a related
connect bug and these sorts of issues do appear around the forums but none contains a solution (neither reinstalling the Azure SDK nor cloaking the workspace/re-retrieving & building everything worked).

Good morning Jambor,
I already tried de-installing everything Azure-Tooling related including the Azure SDK, Restarting my machine and re-installing the SDK.
Same result. I can build the .ccproj perfectly fine and the cspack file IS generated perfectly fine, only debugging does not work and there's NO information in the VS output window (again - all projects succeed to build).
I tried explicitely running VS as Administrator, no change. I removed all IIS Express sites (as the ccproj has one web worker role), remapped my local TFS workspace.. nothing helped.
As building works, deploying to Azure Cloud Service (manually and via Publish inside VS) all works -perfectly-, I am pretty sure this IS a bug and I'd LOVE to help to get this fixed. As I said, currently I cannot debug and/or run & test my work, hence
I cannot do ANY work.

Windows Azure Cloud Service Downtime alert

Hi,
One of the Cloud services that we have deployed on Windows Azure Cloud services using Azure Worker role is unexpectedly transitioning to Stopped state. There doesn't appear to be any valid reason behind this and it runs normally after we switch to
running state from portal.
Is it possible to develop some alert service which informs the Administrator or configured alert users that the Cloud service has shut down ? We tried to configure the Windows Azure alert but the metrics & logging doesn't seem to match with Cloud service
downtime. Please let us know what is the diagnositics or logging option which we should make use to come up an optimal design for the Alert system.
Thanks in advance,
Deepesh
Thanks & Regards, Deep

Hi,
From my experience, several operations in the Service Management API permit you to manage your cloud service either by referencing a deployment by its deployment name, or by referencing the deployment environment (staging or production) in
which the deployment is running. Refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460812.aspx for more information about Operations on Cloud Services, we can do lots of things via this API, in “Get Cloud Service Properties” section, it has a “RoleInstanceList” property, refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460806.aspx#bk_roleinstancelist for more information about
RoleInstanceList. In this article it has PersistentVMDowntime property, the detail information as following.
PersistentVMDowntime
Specifies information about when the Virtual Machine has been started and stopped.
The PersistentVMDowntime element is only available using version 2012-03-01 or higher.
Hope this helps, if this didn’t give you help, please feel free to let me know.

Deploying Windows Azure Cloud Service to multiple instances

Hello folks,
Currently, I have Windows Azure Cloud service on one instance, if I move to multiple instances, will Azure deploy it to all instances during the time of deployment? Basically, the fact that there are multiple instances behind the Cloud Service will be transparent
to the whole deployment process, is that a correct understanding?
Thanks

Hi,
From my experience, all the instances in one cloud service were the same, and we just focus on the application and not the infrastructure. Refer to
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/services/cloud-services/ for more information.

Windows Azure Cloud Service with MVC4WebRole template giving "Not running in a hosted service or the Development Fabric." Error.

Azure SDK used - 1.7 & 2.0
When we create new project for Windows Azure Cloud Service with MVC4WebRole template & try to run it locally its giving error as "Not running in a hosted service or the Development Fabric."
We are aware that making Azure project as start up project will resolve this error but we want to run the application locally before testing it with cloud.
It’s not working with Cassini so we have tried with IIS but still it’s giving the same error.
In another project when we added ASP.Net MVC4 Application & then for that project we have generated the Azure cloud service project using "Add Windows Azure Cloud Service Project". By this way debugging it locally works fine.
Is there something additional settings present in Windows Azure Cloud Service with MVC4WebRole template which is causing this issue?

hello,
According your description, I try to reproduce it in my PC.
>1. I create a could project and add a MVC4 web role into project.
>2. I set the azure project as a start project and run, it works fine.
>3. I change the MVC4 web role as a startup project and run, it works fine too. Of course before this, I exited the Azure Simulator.
But this project was a empty project. It didn't included azure DLL file, such as Diagnostics file. So I think you could comment out the "system.diagnostics" node and try again. Also, you could refer to this same thread:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13879443/not-running-in-a-hosted-service-or-the-development-fabric-production-not-debug

Connectiong Visual Studio 2010/2013 to SQL Database and Running VS Windows Form App in the Windows Azure Cloud

Hi, good day
Im going to have a little presentation before I finished my OJT and the topic that was given to is cloud computing. One of the task I need to do is to set up an application where in it can run and access real time on the "cloud". Now my prob is
I already have windows azure account, made my database, BUT don't know how to connect it to my Visual Studio 2010/2013 (which is more preferable?), and if I ever connect it when my Windows Form is made can it run on the cloud also, how? Please help. Thank
you so much.
PS: I will be discussing this with people who doesn't know much about computing can you send me tips what to discuss? Double Thank You. :)

Thank you for the help.. Another thing can I run my Windows Form App also on the cloud? Like if I present is it possible that the application that I will be doing can be uploaded and accessed on the cloud by the audience and can be used by many at the
same time? Can you tell me how? Or give me a source how to do it? I downloaded the azure tools but I don't how to use it. I checked and tried activating and fixing my IIS and enabling support for ASP but still nothing, when I try to do cloudservice it says
"get azure tools" even though I already have it installed in my laptop, and when I try to right click and upload the project to azure I don't see the usual option 'Upload to Microsoft Azure'. My app is a simple phonebook app with add, edit, delete and search
function. Thanks again..

How to read data from excel file in windows azure cloud service?

I have a web application in visual studio 2010 and windows azure sdk.It asks the user to upload an excel file and then read its data
to the database.When i ran the application on localhost it ran perfectly but when I run it using windows azure sdk emulator (using my application as a web role) it gives the error "The Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local
machine".How to resolve this other than using OpenXml?

You can access office documents only if office COM objects (means office) is installed on the machine.
One option is using of Open.XML (why don't you want to use it?) and another option is to use Office365. However the later one would probably change the whole architecture of you application.
One workaround might be to save Excel file as HTML and read it as HTML. This will not give you all of Open.XML and COM power, but you can very easy access and change data.

Provider hosted app in windows Azure cloud Virtual Machine

Hi
thanks in advance,
1. I am having requirement to setup a sitecollections specific to clients with same app installed for each client site collection( as app will act specific to client configuration).
Thoughts :
1. Create a provider hosted app or SharePoint hosted app and SharePoint site collections in the same virtual machine in Cloud.
I am able to achieve high Trust provider hosted app on premise, it is working.
Can any body suggest my thoughts on the approach is right or wrong. If wrong please suggest me how to achieve this.

Hi,
I have a sharepoint online site and Azure Virtual Machine.
I have developed 4 SharePoint provider hosted apps and I want to deploy the same in office 0365 and App web should in Azure VM.
So I seek help in terms with understanding the deployment.
Because Azure comes with its own certificate cloudapp.net and what I find is this is a private certificate so I cannot use it outside.
Please let me know if I am wrong, I need to buy a third party SSL certificate but doing so can I map it with cloudapp.net domain(which is provided by microsoft). Also Virtual machine is not in the domain. If so then do I also need a wild card certificate
because I need to deploy 4 apps.
just to conclude,
I have SharePoint online site.
Azure Virtual Machine (can I use the cloudapp.net certificate)
SharePoint provider hosted apps(4 apps).
Thanks and Regards Anup Kadam

Hi babarzhr,
For uploading large data files to storage blob, please try AzCopy, a command line utility with concurrent operations to upload, download, and copy blobs. You
may get the latest version from aka.ms/azcopy, find the AzCopy at "<system disk>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\AzCopy" after your installation and use below AzCopy command line pattern:
       AzCopy <source folder> <destination folder> [filepatterns] [options]
Here is the sample command lines for your scenarios.
#1. Upload from local to your Azure Storage blob.
#1.1 Upload single file, say uploading “db1.bck”.
         AzCopy D:\backup\
https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer//DestKey:key db1.bck
#1.2 Upload multi db files, say uploading “db1.mdf”, “db1.log”, “db1.bck”, use file pattern “db*” and option /s to recursively upload.
         AzCopy D:\backup\
https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/ /DestKey:key db* /s
#1.3 Choose block or page blob by option /BlobType:Page|Block.
        AzCopy D:\backup\
https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/ /DestKey:key db1.bck /BlobType:Block
#2.
Download from Storage to your VM local disk.
#2.1 Download single file, say downloading “db1.bck”.
         AzCopy
https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/ D:\backup\ /SourceKey:key db1.bck
#2.2 Download multi db files, say downloading “db1.mdf”, “db1.log”, “db1.bck”, use file pattern “db” and option /s to recursively upload, attention, when ‘source’ is storage blob,
     the file pattern will be treated as prefix.
         AzCopy
https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/ D:\backup\ /SourceKey:key db /s
#3. For uploading/downloading large data files, suggest you open resume mode directly with option /z:<journal file>.
         AzCopy D:\backup\
https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/ /DestKey:key db1.bck /z:”d:\test\restart.log”
If your operation is
terminated
in the middle of downloading/uploading, use same command line to resume directly.

Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services?

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.
Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
We will be placing the cloud services in multiple datacenters and using traffic manager to point people to the right one. The cloud service will set between an IMAP client & server, pretending to be the mail client to the server, and the server to the client.
Mostly it will pass all requests & responses across from one to the other.
thanks - dave

hi dave,
>>Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
For this issue, I have collected some blogs and document about best practices for azure cloud service, you can view them, but I am not sure they are your need.

>>The cloud service will set between an IMAP client & server, pretending to be the mail client to the server, and the server to the client. Mostly it will pass all requests & responses across from one to the other.
For your scenarioes, If you'd like to communicate with each instances, I recommend you refer to this document (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh180158.aspx ). And generally, if we want connect the client to server on Azure, the service bus is a good choice (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-multi-tier-app-using-service-bus-queues/
