Virtual Machine Configuration

Microsoft Azure

VMs in Azure

Virtual Machine Configuration

• Image • Version Release Date

• Version of image• Best practices are using latest one

• Virtual Machine Name • between 3 and 15 characters; • should be unique within one Cloud Service

• Username and Password • Size

Cloud Services

Cloud Services acts as a network and security boundary for virtual machines.

Cloud Service URL is mapped to a public IP when there is at least one active virtual machine.http://demotest.cloudapp.net = 137.135.67.36

All external traffic to virtual machines uses this IP. IIS-VM1 IIS-VM2

demotest.cloudapp.net137.135.67.36

Storage Fundamentals

Storage characteristics Durable – replicated three times Scalable (capacity and throughput) Highly available

Simple and familiar programming interfaces REST (HTTP and HTTPS) .NET accessible

Microsoft Azure

VMs in Azure

Storage Objects

BLOBs (Binary Large Objects)Provide a simple interface for storing named files along with metadata for the file

Tables Provide lightly structured storage with a set of entities that contain a set of properties

Queues Provide reliable storage and delivery of messages

FilesExposes file shares using the standard SMB protocol
