Cloud Service
Configuring Endpoints on Virtual Machines
• Endpoints enable clients to access published

services on VMs
• Endpoints are required for management
connections:
• RDP and Remote PowerShell on Windows VMs
• SSH on Linux VMs
• Default endpoints are created when configuring

a new VM
• Additional endpoints can be configured for new
or existing VMs
• Connection method depends on the protocol
exposed through the endpoint
Endpoint IP Addressing
• Virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) Addresses

• Default—randomly assigned to cloud service
from available addresses
• Reserved VIP address—assigned to the
subscription
• Reserving an IP Address
New-AzureReservedIP -Location $location

-ReservedIPName $ipname
Network Access Control Lists and Endpoints
• ACLs control access to endpoints

• Permit or deny incoming traffic based on
remote subnet IPv4 address range
• Prevent access from blocked IP addresses
• ACLs can be combined to:
• Specify up to 50 ACL rules per virtual machine
endpoint
• Apply rule ordering to govern how rules are
processed
Lesson 2: Planning Virtual Machine Workloads
Identifying Workloads for Microsoft Azure IaaS VMs

Sizing of Virtual Machines for Microsoft Azure IaaS
Identifying Differences Between On-Premises and
Microsoft Azure VMs
• Discussion: Which Workloads In Your Current On-
Premises Environment Would You Consider For
Migration To Microsoft Azure?
Identifying Workloads for Microsoft Azure IaaS VMs
• Suitable Workloads for Azure IaaS VMs

• Highly available service workloads
• Periodic, unpredictable growth, or spiking workloads
• Steady workloads
• Unsuitable Workloads for Azure IaaS VMs

• Low volume or limited growth workloads
• Regulated environment workloads
• Microsoft Server Software Support for Azure IaaS

VMs
• Windows Server roles (AD, AD FS, DNS, Print, Application,
File, RAS, RDP, Web, WSUS)
• Other server products (SQL, SharePoint, System Center)
• Unsupported server roles and features
Sizing of Virtual Machines for Microsoft Azure IaaS
• Virtual Machines Sizes for Azure

• Basic
• Standard
• Sizing considerations
• Virtual machine limits in Azure
• Up to 50 VMs per cloud service
• Up to 150 input endpoints per cloud service
• Microsoft Azure (IaaS) Cost Estimator Tool

• 15-minute scan of hardware and resources
• Matches resulting server profile to Azure IaaS instances
• Provides 30-day cost estimate for running each
instance
Identifying Differences Between On-Premises
and Microsoft Azure VMs
• General Differences
• Disks
• Virtual machine format
• Networking
• Differences when deploying Domain Controllers

in Azure
• Differences when deploying SQL Server in Azure
• Managing limitations with Windows Server
Essentials Experience
• Identifying service interoperability issues
Discussion: Which Workloads In Your Current On-Premises
Environment Would You Consider For Migration To Microsoft Azure?
• Which Workloads In Your Current On-Premises

Environment Would You Consider For Migration
To Azure?
• Good candidates for workload migration
• Bad candidates for workload migration

Lab Scenario
As part of the planning for Microsoft Azure, A.

Datum need to understand their requirements for
virtual machine workloads; you have been asked
to determine the virtual machines that will be
needed to run two intranet web applications,
together with their sizes and locations. One
application is a simple expense-reporting
application that runs on Windows and IIS, and
uses SQL server to store data. The other
application is for pool car booking and runs on
Linux and Apache and uses MySQL to store data.
You will then deploy and configure Windows and
Linux VMs.
Lab Review
• What should you take into account when planning

which virtual network to add your virtual machine
to?
• What are the two methods you can use to create
Microsoft Azure virtual machines?
• What is the benefit of using the where
{$_.ImageFamily –eq parameter when searching
for images?
• What are the key steps for connecting to a Linux
virtual machine using an SSH client?
