This Week I Learned - *  Accelerated Networking feature for Azure VMs provides consistent ultra-low network latency via Azure's in-house programmable hardware and technologies such as single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV). * Accelerated Networking is supported on most general purpose and compute-optimized instance sizes with 2 or more vCPUs. These supported series are: D/DSv2 and F/Fs. On instances that support hyperthreading, Accelerated Networking is supported on VM instances with 4 or more vCPUs. Supported series are: D/DSv3, E/ESv3, Fsv2, and Ms/Mms. * Azure Site Recovery supports enabling Accelerated Networking for replicated virtual machines only if the source virtual machine has Accelerated Networking enabled. *  Azure Site Recovery & Azure Backup provide complementary but different functionality . Azure Backup handles data at a more granular level than Site Recovery. If you want to keep a VM configuration and data safe and accessible, you could use Site ...

Compiled from multiple online articles: * Configure your App Service to use HTTP/2 -  It brings features like header compression and binary formatting (which reduce payload sizes), request pipelineing and multiplexing. These features allow for more concurrent requests using fewer network sockets and help to avoid one slow request from blocking all subsequent requests , which is a frequent problem in HTTP 1.1. HTTP/2 might not benefit every application, so you will want to run performance tests and stress tests to document your improvements. * Turn Off the Application Request Routing Cookie - By default, Azure will make sure clients continue reaching the same app service instance during a session, because Azure can't guarantee your application isn't storing session state in server memory. To provide this behavior, the load balancer will inject a cookie into the first response to a client. This cookie is what Azure calls the Application Request Routing Cookie. If ...
