However, you may incur charges for 3rd party ISV tools. Dependency visualization is free for the first 180 days from the day of associating a Log Analytics workspace with Server Assessment. After 180 days, standard Log Analytics charges will apply. The use of any solution other than Service Map within this workspace is not free and will incur standard Log Analytics charges. Azure Migrate: Server migration is free for first 180 days for each machine. After 180 days, $25/month per instance replicated will be applied. Note that for the first 180 days, you will not incur any Server Migration licensing charges, but you might incur charges for Azure Storage, storage transactions and data transfer during replication. * 2 Database Migrat...

This Week I Learned -  * Crisp article comparing Azure Container options :  Azure Container Apps (Preview) Azure App Service Azure Container Instances Azure Kubernetes Service Azure Functions Azure Spring Cloud Azure Red Hat OpenShift *  Both Linux and Windows containers are supported in Service Fabric since 2017 . *  Enterprise customers prefer to have a “golden” image (an image that meets all their organisational requirements) that they can reuse when deploying additional VMs than deploy additional VMs and then run a provisioning script post-deployment. Reusing an image makes scaling out faster and more reliable while keeping you in policy. And once you have the process in place to build images, you can easily rebuild them regularly to include OS and application updates. But creating and managing your own image pipeline to build those custom images means running extra infrastructure and managing extra software. Azure Image Builder offers you that as a cloud s...

Azure resources communicate privately, directly, and securely with each other over virtual networks. VNet is scoped to a subscription . You can implement multiple virtual networks within each Azure subscription and Azure region. VNet is scoped to a single region/location ; however, multiple virtual networks from different regions can be connected together using Virtual Network Peering. from Learn Azure in a Month of Lunches Your subnets should not cover the entire address space of the VNet. Plan ahead and reserve some address space for the future. If you create the smallest available subnet of /29 (with eight IP addresses), Azure will retain five addresses It is recommended you have fewer large VNets rather than multiple small VNets. This will prevent management overhead. Each virtual network is isolated from other virtual networks within each Azure subscription. Vnet does NOT span Regions, it can span availability zones. You can connect one VNet to another VNet using either Virtua...
