Windows Azure Instance - Remote Access Problems

By
La orice instanta din Windows Azure, un user se poate conecta remote ca si pe orice alta masina. Acesta are acces la orice fel de resurse din sistemul de operate incepand de la task manager la event logs sau la Windows Services.
Pentru a ne putea conecta remote la instanta unui rol este nevoie ca de portalul Windows Azure sa selectam instanta la care vrem sa ne conectam, iar apoi din meniul de sus sa apasam butonul "Connect". Browser-ul o sa faca download la un fisier cu extensia .rdp, care se foloseste pentru conextiune remote. Odata rulat acest fisier, totul o sa decurga normal, o sa fie nevoie sa introduceti credentialele si gata, sunteti conectat remote in Cloud.
Pana aici nu o sa aveti nici o problema, totul o sa mearga ca uns. Insa in unele cazuri o sa va treziti ca instanta pe care o aveti nu poate sa fie gasita, orice ati face. Cand incercati sa dati conect, aplicatia sta cateva secunde iar apoi primiti o eroare de genul:
The specified user name does not exist. Verify the username and try logging in again. If the problem continues, contact your system administrator or technical support.
Desi rolul functioneaza, la fel si instantele pe care le aveti, totul este in regula. Acest lucru apare uneori dupa 2-3 zice ce ati folosit fara problema remote conenction-ul pe cloud. O solutie simpla pe care am gasito la aceasta problema este sa deschideti cu un editor text fisierul .rdp si sa inlocuiti friendly name-ul (DNS name) pe care il aveti pe prima linie cu IP-ul instantei.
Before:
full address:s: myApp.cloudApp.net
After:
full address:s: 123.123.123.123
Am observat ca acest lucru se intampla dupa ce se schimba administratorul la o subscriptie (acest lucru se poate face doar la cerere si este facut direct de cei de la Windows Azure support) sau se fac modificari complexe.
Sper ca acuma functioneaza si la voi :-).

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...
