Windows Azure Service Bus - What ports are used

By
Windows Azure Service Bus is a great mechanism to distribute messages across components of your own system or to different clients. When you want to use this service for enterprise projects you will meet the IT guys.
For them it is very important to control the ports that are used by applications. Because of one of the first’s question that they will ask you is:
What are the ports that are used by Service Bus?
When this question is asked you should be prepare to have the answer prepared. Looking over the documentation from MSDN, the following ports are used by Windows Azure Service Bus:
  • 80 – HTTP connection mode
  • 443 – HTTPS connection mode
  • 5671 – Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP)
  • 5672 – AMQP
  • 9350 – WCF with connection mode Auto or TCP using .NET SDK
  • 9351 – WCF with connection mode Auto or TCP using .NET SDK
  • 9352 – WCF with connection mode Auto or TCP using .NET SDK
  • 9353 – WCF with connection mode Auto or TCP using .NET SDK
  • 9354 – WCF with connection mode Auto or TCP using .NET SDK
I recommend to use HTTP/HTTPS connection where is possible. IF you are using .NET SDK you don’t need to make any custom configuration. When you let connection mode set to AutoDetect, the SDK will check if a connection can be made using non-HTTP ports. If the endpoint cannot be reached, that he will try to go over HTTP.
If you want to control the connection method, than you will need to set the ‘Mode’ property of the SystemConnectivity. The supported mode are:

  • AutoDetect
  • Http
  • Tcp
ServiceBusEnvironment.SystemConnectivity.Mode = ConnectivityMode.Http;
Enjoy!

    Thank you so much!
    Saved my day - got some strange Gateway 50200 not found. Forcing the ConnectivityMode.Http - did the trick.

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...
