Steps to find Azure VM imagesLet's assume we are looking for Windows Server 2016 images, but we don't know which versions and stock keeping units (SKUs) are available. In this scenario, we'll have four steps to find our target VM image. Specify the locationBecause each Azure region might have a different image portfolio, it is important to ensure the image we are looking for exists in our region. In our case, I will be choosing 'West Europe.' . Define the correct publisherAfter specifying the location, we must pick a publisher to proceed. Publishers are basically image providers from which we will choose the correct offers and SKUs afterward.
In this scenario, I will be selecting MicrosoftWindowsServer. Find the offerPublishers might have many different offers.
So we need to find the correct offer we're looking for. I will be looking for WindowsServer. Pick the SKU (version)In this last step, PowerShell will list all available SKUs in the specified location, and you have to select the SKU that best suits your needs. Using PowerShell to find an SKULet's get started with the first step. To list all available locations in Azure and store the user input in a variable, we are going to use the following command. Out-GridView -Title $titleIn my scenario, PowerShell lists seven different Windows Server 2016 images.All available SKUs based on the selections madeI can now define any of these source images in Azure using their SKUs shown above when creating a new Azure VM using PowerShell (step 4). ConclusionIt is very time-saving to find out which VM images are currently available in our region since it is getting more important to automate tasks such as creating VMs in Azure.
What exactly is the Azure Marketplace? I'm Marc Gagne, a senior technical evangelist with Microsoft Canada and in this video we are going to learn about the Azure Marketplace and what exactly you. WordPress is an Open Source blogging platform that’s been around since 2003. It’s the most widely used blogging platform in the world. In addition to hosting your blog at WordPress.com or self hosting in an on-premises VM, you can also easily host it in Microsoft Azure. The Azure Marketplace.
Using a couple of easy cmdlets allows us to pick the correct images from Azure Marketplace and use them in our scripts. The reasons why many people hate the new UI is obvious: you. With those ugly tiles and every app going into full screen mode without the possibility of adjustments. I use the computer mainly for writing scientific papers, analyzing my data, and browsing. When I write, I often compare two versions of a text or copy&paste paragraphs from one document to another.
For this, I usually display more than one document at once on my computer screen. I also switch frequently between tasks.
So, this new UI is just a pain in the. For working productively. Sorry for using this lingo, it just illustrates the depths of my feelings of powerlessness and anger when being confronted with win8. Now I use classic start menue like I suppose most of the people and everything is ok. So, one question for YOU: why, if the new UI is so wonderful, do even programmers of Holy Microsoft themselves use the classic shell (as you can see, embarrassingly, during a presentation of the new win10:-D)?
Excellent write-up, thanks for that.In the organisation I'm employed, we've been using this technique as well. By default, we wish for 'everyone' to have access to 'everyone's' Calendar with the 'Free/Busy time, subject, location' setting, which is named 'LimitedDetails' in EMS.However, we sometimes experience problems when a user tries to access another user's calendar, with an error worded something like 'You do not have permission to view this calendar'. When checking the permissions in EMS, there's nothing out of the ordinary - so the problem is not caused by the user having manually added the other, with fewer details.The only workaround we've found so far, is to tick the 'Folder Visible' checkbox under 'Other' in the Outlook client. While this does work, I have not found a way to fix this server-side.
It appears to be random where the problem occurs, and it's not affecting everyone.All clients run cached mode and we use Exchange 2016 onprem.Does anyone have any hints on either how to manage this setting serverside - or maybe what the root cause could be?Any help, hints or tips will be greatly appreciated.
IntroductionIn this article we are going to learn the Market Place and what exactly you can achieve with it.What is Azure MarketPlace?What exactly is the Azure MarketPlace? In this article we are going to learn the Azure Market Place and what exactly you can achieve with it. In short the Azure marketplace is a store of nearly one thousand virtual machine images, developer services and more.
Some are from Microsoft but most come from partners and communities.How does it work?So how does it all work? Internally on Azure, we use the Azure resource manager platform to manage to deploy infrastructure in the cloud.
This is done using json based templates called Azure Resource Manager Templates or ARM templates for short. They describethe what andthe how of the deployment. Deploying for the azure market place is as easy as searching for a particular VM, service or solution and clicking deploy from the gallery.
You can read more about ARM Templates.However you can simply perform the same search and deployment right from within the azure portal.How the Pricing works?So you might be wondering how the pricing work does. It’s pretty straight forward. In a case of virtual machine which is the most commonly deployed resource from the marketplace, first you pay the actual computing time, in other words you pay for the virtual machine that is hosting the solution you want to deploy.
Then if the publisher has chosen to charge the fee for their solution you will pay for that.Payment Options for Azure MarketPlace:So what options doesthe publishers have and what are the ways you may or may not pay for solution from the marketplace? Currently it supports five options. The 1st is free, you pay nothing about the compute cast of your virtual machine. 2nd you have Free Trial.
You get a trial of software for a period of time then if you still running it you’ll be migrated to the paid subscription. 3rd BYOL or Bring Your Own License. This just means you already own a license or you have purchased one directly form the publisher and you’ll use it for this deployment. The 4th option is Usage Based Billing where buyer will pay hourly fee much like you do for compute to use the software.
This fee is added on the top of compute fee for your VM. The 5th option is Monthly Fee. With monthly fee you pay a flat fee per month for the software.What is in the Azure MarketPlace?So what exactly is in the Azure MarketPlace?
And how does it help you get things done? Let’s go over few example scenarios, starting with security. If you need antispam technology or firewall that can detect or block SQL Injections, cross side scripting, malware uploads and more. Check out Barracuda, you may read more about Barracuda. If you need antivirus for malware protection, log inspection and intrusion detection, file integrity and more check out the solution from Trend Micro. You can read more about TrendMicro what is it actually.There are numerous DevOps solutions in the azure MarketPlace to make is easier to build, deploy, monitor and scale your solutions.
There are many solutions for continuous integration and continuous delivery. XebiaLabs, Stack Storm, Jenkins from CloudBees and Solano Labs have you covered and it all available in the Azure MarketPlace.If infrastructure in application orchestration is on your demand, check out Puppet and Chef. Both can be installed from the market place in minutes and have you well on your way. You can read more about Puppet.
What about source control, code reviews, documentations and issue tracking, check out GitLab from Bitnami, which gives you unlimited free private repositories and it is free.Data Solutions:Azure already includes many data solutions such as Azure SQLs, Azure radios and document db. However it’s not always of one size fits all and many of Microsoft partners have made their solutions available in the market place. This includes oracle, MySQL, cloudera, Hortonworks, Couchbase, mongoDB and others.What if you need more than a bare bones operating system but don’t need a full blown solution in box?
There are hundreds of various software stacks ready to deploy from the marketplace. Bitnami has over 80 virtual machine images to get you going including wordpress, Ruby, Node.js, Jango and more. Many readers might be novices to the industry, well you guys can take a look about Bitnami.In Windows or Linux chances are you'll find a VM image to get you started.
