Azure Virtual Machine: Tips for Optimizing Performance
As more and more businesses shift towards the cloud, virtual machines have become a crucial aspect of modern computing. Whether you’re running a small-scale operation or a large enterprise, the ability to fine-tune the performance of your virtual machines can be the difference between success and failure. In this blog, we’ll be sharing some valuable tips and tricks to help you maximize the performance of your Azure Virtual Machines and take your business to the next level and ensure that your workloads are running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Whether you’re a seasoned Azure user or just getting started, these tips are sure to help you get the most out of your virtual machines and take your cloud computing to the next level. So, let’s dive in!
Designing secure access to Azure Services
This blog discusses Azure security design and consideration for securing access to Azure Services.
Troubleshooting user defined routes in Azure
In this blog, we will discuss how to troubleshoot the user-defined route in Azure. I have faced this issue in one of my projects. Typically when you want to test the traffic from a specific VM you will have to log in to the VM and see the output of the Traceroute command and it becomes cumbersome if you have so many routes because now you have to log in to each VM to verify whether the routes are working correctly or not. Another problem is that even if the routes are not working traceroute will not show why it is not working. So if you do not know why routes are not working you can not fix anything. To overcome this issue I wrote a small script that can be used as it is by changing the parameters and it will display the connectivity status (success or failure) if there is an issue then this script will also show what is causing that issue.
Azure landing zone design best practices
Recently I have come across a requirement to design the Azure landing zone for a customer who wants to migrate their workloads from on-premise to Azure. This article explains the best practices implemented in Azure landing zone design.
Dynamic Azure Automation with Ansible
In this blog post, we will learn how to automate Azure workloads with Ansible. We will do the end-to-end automation for Azure virtual machine.
How to deploy SQL Server containers to a Kubernetes cluster for high availability?
In this blog, we will learn how to deploy the SQL server container on Azure Kubernetes services with High availability. We will use the persistent storage feature of Kubernetes to add resiliency to the solution. In this scenario, if the SQL server instance fails, Kubernetes will automatically re-create it in a new POD and attach it to the persistent volume. It will also provide protection from Node failure by recreating it again. If you are new to Kubernetes we will start by understanding the basic terminology of Kubernetes and its Architecture.
Retrieve Azure VM details by using PowerShell.
Suppose you built a large environment in Azure with more than 1000 Virtual machines. Now we need to provide the Virtual Machine details to the customer(or raise the SNOW ticket) and it is very difficult to collect each VM detail manually from Azure Portal. Also, there can be another use case if you want to verify the VMs to compare with each other to ensure all the VMs are created the same way. For example, the Cache setting for all the VMs should be Read /Write. You may also want to grab details of all the data disks and OS disks and their size, name info, and cache settings. This script grabs all the info in one shot and exports it into a CSV file for further manipulation.Let’s dive in.
How to Deploy SQL server on Azure Container Services?
In this blog we will learn about Azure container services and how to deploy SQL server 2019 on Azure Container Services.
Remote Software Deployment on multiple Azure Linux and Windows VMs.
In this blog, we will discuss a real-time scenario of deploying software on multiple Linux and Windows Virtual machines simultaneously. Suppose you have 500 virtual machines both Windows and Linux and you want to push the software to these virtual machines. Obviously, it is not a workable solution to perform the manual installation on these 500 VMs. But there is good news that Azure provides a custom script extension for remote command execution. Let’s learn how to use it?
How to route Network traffic in Azure?
In this blog, we will learn how Azure manages network traffic by using system routes and user-defined routes. Let’s dive in.
How to configure Azure Load balancer with Azure CLI?
In this blog, we will learn how to set up and configure the Azure load balancer in the quickest possible way and test some Azure features. We will develop an Azure CLI script for the same. I have also created a video to showcase the Azure Load balancer functionality.
How to configure Power BI Enterprise Gateway Proxy configuration?
Power BI service allows connectivity thru PowerBI Gateway in case you do not want to expose the on-premise data sources. Power BI Gateway can be installed on a server /VM deployed in the on-premise environment. Now If you deploy the Enterprise gateway in the On-Premise network your network team may not be happy and they will not open the firewall to expose the Enterprise Gateway to connect to the Internet. But do not worry and here is the good news, in order for the Enterprise gateway to function properly it requires certain ports to be open. Let’s learn how to configure the environment so it is secure.
