What type of workload would be most suitable for deployment on Azure virtual machines?
-That said, most of your general purpose workloads, such as app servers or relational databases, are best run on the D family of Azure Virtual Machines.
Which tool helps you estimate the cost you will incur on Azure?
For the planning phase of an Azure deployment the price calculator tool is an excellent online tool to use in estimating your Azure costs (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/). This tool allows you to select and estimate the cost of deploying resources to Azure.
What is the maximum number of virtual machines that a virtual machine scale set can support?
Scale sets support up to 1,000 VM instances for standard marketplace images and custom images through the Shared Image Gallery. If you create a scale set using a managed image, the limit is 600 VM instances. For the best performance with production workloads, use Azure Managed Disks.
How are slots used in azure deployments and migrations?
We do slot deploy while having two sets of dbs in an elastic pool (what causes almost no extra cost for them), while each slot points to one set of dbs. When we do a deploy, we update code and the slot related databases, do testing to verify that it all works and then do the swap – the code and the db.
How to create an azure database migration service?
For homogenous migrations, assess your existing database (s) by using DMA. For heterogeneous migrations (from compete sources), assess your existing database (s) with SSMA. You also use SSMA to convert database objects and migrate the schema to your target platform. Create an instance of Azure Database Migration Service.
Are there any additional slots for Azure Functions?
The Consumption plan is only allowed one deployment slot. Additional slots are available for apps running under the App Service plan. Swapping a slot resets keys for apps that have an AzureWebJobsSecretStorageType app setting equal to files. When slots are enabled, your Functions app is set to read-only mode in the portal.
Which is the best service for database migration?
Azure Database Migration Service is the preferred method for database migration to Microsoft Azure at scale.
