Azure Service Bus Premium - Better latency and throughput with predictability

By
A few days ago the public preview of Azure Service Bus Premium was announced. The first two things that people usually check at a new service like this is price and the added value. In this post we will talk about them.

Added Value
The biggest things between the standard offer and Premium is the dedicated VMs that are reserved only for the end customer. Each VM that is used by Azure Service Bus Premium is isolated from the rest of the customers and will be used only by him.
This means that the performance of the Azure Service Bus will be predictable. This is a very important quality attribute, especially when you need to know exactly how long it takes for a message to arrive at final destination, when latency and throughput needs to be predicted.
When you decide to use the Premium offer, the storage engine that will used behind the scene will not be the standard one, used by Service Bus, but the new one, used by Azure Event Hub - so called Jet Stream.
In this way, we can have dedicated resources (Message Unit) for our namespaces.

Capacity
The capacity of this system is called Message Unit (MU). This capacity unit is dedicated for each namespace that you creates. This means that you can have multiple Service Bus Topics under the same Message Unit. When you need better performance, you can create dedicated Premium namespaces, for each resource (Topic).
The Message Units for each namespace can vary from 1 to 4. Each MU will offer us an isolated "VM", with dedicated resources.

Price
In this moment, in preview mode, the price of Azure Service Bus Premium is 9.368€ per day for each Message Unit (current price is valid only for preview).

Let's see what we can with it (smile).

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

By
After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
