Partner Practice Enablement - Overview In today's topic students will learn how to use the Microsoft Azure PowerShell cmdlets for management and monitoring in addition to using the capabilities of the Microsoft Azure Management Portal for configuring alerts and auto scale. See also how the capabilities of System Center can be used for workloads running in Microsoft Azure. Audience: IT Professionals, Architects and Developers Module 1 – Introduction to Microsoft Azure Module 2 – Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines Module 3 – Microsoft Azure Networking Module 4 – Microsoft Azure Active Directory Module 5 - Cloud Services and Websites Module 6 - SQL Server and SharePoint Module 7 - Management and Monitoring

Managing and Monitoring Virtual Machines

Agenda Monitoring Virtual Machines Monitoring the Microsoft Azure Platform Managing Virtual Machines Managing with PowerShell

Monitoring Virtual Machines

Monitoring Virtual Machines with the Portal Web Endpoint Monitoring (Outside In) Performance Counters

Alert Rules Define Alert Criteria Select Metric Condition and Threshold Evaluation Window Define Action Subscription Owner or Separate

Portal Based Monitoring Configuration

Metrics Selection Monitoring Metrics Using the Management Portal monitor multiple metrics Alerts can be configured per metric

Defining a performance alert Define the alert name Define the condition and actions co-administrators specific address

Alert Example

Outside in Monitoring (Preview) Monitor up to two http endpoints from three global locations

Monitoring Virtual Machines with the Portal Alerts in Monitor Tab

Monitoring Virtual Machines with the Portal Alert Portal Notifications

Auto Scale Configuring Auto Scale Pre-create identical Virtual Machines in an availability set Specify auto-scale rules based on CPU usage Queue Depth Multiple auto scale configurations per schedule

Auto Scale with Schedule Scheduling Configuration No Scheduled Time Day and Night Weekdays and Weekends Specific Days

Auto Scale with CPU Metric Auto Scaling CPU Configuration Select the Desired Schedule to Configure Select the minimum and maximum instances Select the desired utilization range Choose how many instances to scale up by Choose how many instances to scale down by

Managing Virtual Machines

Application Deployment Use a Microsoft Azure Gallery Image with Application Manually Deploy Application on new Virtual Machine Create a Custom Image with Application Deployed Upload an existing Hyper-V based VHD Scripted Deployment using Remote PowerShell

Administering Virtual Machines Public Internet or private internal IP address Remote Administration Remote Desktop Administration Remote PowerShell SSH

Ex. Remote SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) Public Internet (less secure) Enable TCP endpoint 1433 Windows Firewall inbound rule port 1433 Enable Mixed Authentication and configure a secure account. Login using SQL Server Authentication and DNS of VM Can secure with access control list Private Virtual Network (more secure) Deploy virtual machine in a Virtual Network with P2S or S2S virtual networking. Windows Firewall inbound rule port 1433 and connect using internal IP in SSMS OR Windows Firewall inbound rule port 3389 and RDP into VM to run SSMS tool locally

Deleting/Creating VMs and Disks Deleting a Virtual Machine (Optional) delete both backed VHD disks and VM Deleting all Virtual Machines (Optional) delete all virtual machines and all disks through the cloud service view.

Disk Configuration Disk Best Practices Only deploy data on data disks Avoid using D: drive 500 IOPS per disk / 20,000 IOPS per storage. Plan for capacity!

Disk Caching OS Disk Read Write by default Modify with PowerShell Set-AzureOSDisk Requires Restart! Data Disks None by default modify with PowerShell Set-AzureDataDisk or Portal

Avoid Extra Hops with a Virtual Network Virtual Networks Connect via Direct IPs (DIP) vs. external Virtual IPs (VIP) for VM to VM communication. Load balancer DIP VIP DIP
