Module 07 - Azure Virtual Machines

This document provides an overview of 4 lessons on configuring Azure virtual machines: 1. Lesson 1 discusses planning VMs including choosing a location, sizing, storage, and creating VMs in the Azure portal. 2. Lesson 2 covers configuring VM availability using availability sets, update and fault domains, and availability zones. It also compares vertical and horizontal scaling. 3. Lesson 3 explains implementing scale sets to deploy identical VMs and automating scaling with autoscale rules. 4. Lesson 4 is a lab to apply the concepts from the previous lessons.

Training Course

Module 07:
Azure Virtual
Machines

1
Lesson 01: Configure Virtual Machines

Lesson 02: Configure Virtual Machine Availability

Lesson 03: Configure Virtual Machine Extensions

Lesson 04: Module 08 Lab​


2
Lesson 01: Configure Virtual Machines
Review Cloud Services Responsibilities

Test and development, website hosting, storage, backup, recovery,


high-performance computing, big data analysis, and extended data center
4
Plan Virtual Machines

Start with the network

Name the virtual machine

Choose a location
• Each region has different hardware and service capabilities

• Locate Virtual Machines as close as possible to your users and to ensure


compliance and legal obligations

Consider pricing
• Compute costs 60+ Azure regions
Available in 140 countries
• Storage costs (consumption-based and reserved instances)

5
Determine Virtual Machine Sizing

A Series - Entry-level for dev/test G Series – Memory and storage optimized

B Series – Economical bursting H Series - High performance computing

D Series – General purpose compute L Series – Storage optimized

Dc Series – Protect data in use M Series – Memory optimized

E Series – In-memory hyper-threaded applications


Mv2 Series – Largest memory optimized
optimized

F Series – Compute optimized N Series – GPU enabled


6
Determine Virtual Machine Storage

Azure VM (Windows)
Each Azure VM has two or more disks:
• OS disk
• Temporary disk (contents can be lost)
• Data disks (optional)
C:\ D:\ F:\
OS and data disks reside in Azure Storage accounts: Temporary disk Data disk
OS disk
• Azure-based storage service
• Standard (HDD, SSD) or Premium (SSD), or Ultra
(SSD)

When creating an Azure VM, you can choose between:


• Managed disks (recommended)
• Unmanaged disks
Azure blob

7
Create Virtual Machines in the Portal

Basic (required) – Project details, Administrator


account, Inbound port rules

Disks – OS disk type, data disks

Networking – Virtual networks, load balancing

Management – Monitoring, Auto-shutdown,


Backup

Advanced – Add additional configuration,


agents, scripts or applications

8
Connect to Virtual Machines

Bastion Subnet for RDP/SSH Remote Desktop Protocol for Secure Shell Protocol for
through the Portal over SSL Windows-based Virtual Machines Linux based Virtual Machines

9
Connect to Windows Virtual Machines

Remote Desktop Protocol


(RDP) creates a GUI session and
accepts inbound traffic on TCP
port 3389

WinRM creates a command-line


session so can run scripts

10
Connect to Linux Virtual Machines

Authenticate with a SSH is an encrypted There are public and


SSH public key or connection protocol private keys
password that allows secure
logins over unsecured
connections

11
Lesson 02: Configure Virtual Machine
Availability
Plan for Maintenance and Downtime

Unplanned Hardware Unexpected Planned


Maintenance Downtime Maintenance

When the platform Unexpected Downtime Planned Maintenance


predicts a failure, it will is when a virtual events are periodic
issue an unplanned machine fails updates made to the
hardware maintenance unexpectedly Azure platform
event
Action: Automatically Action: No action
Action: Live migration migrate (heal)

13
Setup Availability Sets

Configure Configure each Combine a Load Use managed


multiple Virtual application tier Balancer with disks with the
Machines in an into separate Availability Sets Virtual Machine
Availability Set Availability Sets
14
Review Update and Fault Domains

Update domains allows Azure to


perform incremental or rolling
upgrades across a deployment.
During planned maintenance,
only one update domain is
rebooted at a time

Fault Domains are a group of


Virtual Machines that share a
common set of hardware, switches,
that share a single point of failure.
VMs in an availability set are placed
in at least two fault domains

15
Review Availability Zones

Unique physical locations in a region

Includes datacenters with independent


power, cooling, and networking

Protects from datacenter failures

Combines update and fault domains

Provides 99.99% SLA​

16
Compare Vertical to Horizontal Scaling

Vertical scaling

Vertical scaling (scale up and scale down) is


the process of increasing or decreasing power
to a single instance of a workload; usually
manual​

Horizontal scaling

Horizontal scaling (scale out and scale in) is


the process of increasing or decreasing the
number of instances of a workload; frequently
automated

17
Implement Scale Sets

Scale sets No pre- As demand As demand The process can


deploy a set provisioning of goes up goes down be manual,
of identical VMs is required VMs are VM are automated, or a
VMs added removed combination of
both
18
Create Scale Sets

Instance count. Number of VMs in the


scale set (0 to 1000)

Instance size. The size of each virtual


machine in the scale set

Azure Spot Instance. Unused capacity at a


discounted rate

Use managed disks

Enable scaling beyond 100 instances

19
Implement Autoscale

Define rules to Scale out Scale in (reduce) Schedule events Reduces


automatically (increase) the the number of to increase or monitoring
adjust capacity number of VMs in the set decrease at a and optimizes
VMs in the set fixed time performance
20
Configure Autoscale

Define a minimum, maximum, and


default number of VM instances

Create more advanced scale sets


with scale out and scale in
parameters
