Azure Virtual Machines
• Supports multiple Operating Systems
• Plenty of options to choose from
• Hosted across multiple regions
• Lower latency
• Disaster recovery
• Flexible administering capabilities
• Many UI capabilities
• PowerShell scripts for non frequent operations
Quick Note
• Cloud Service
• Availability Set
• Site-to-site connectivity
• Point-to-site connectivity
We were with SharePoint 2010
• 5 member team
• Complete environment installations• 3 virtual machines for each user
• Many Full-Trust solutions
• 60 GB and 30 GB data warehouses
• Connecting external data sources
• Developer machines• 500 GB/ 1TB of Physical hard disks
• 16 GB RAM
Then came 2013 migration…
• Should migrate all Full-trust code as it is
• Identical SharePoint 2013 environments
• 3 virtual machines for each user
• New workflows development
• Both machines up in same time
• More disk space
• More memory (RAM)
• More hardware for a limited time
Then we thought
Azure Virtual Machines
The Change
2010 Environments in local VMs 2013 Environments in Azure VMs
15 Virtual Machines (3*5) 7 Virtual Machines (Users and Data Shared)
450 GB for Data warehouses (90*5) 90 GB for Data warehouses
Take laptop home on vacations Can use free Wi-Fi at train station
No disk space to make snapshots Plenty of options for making snapshots
Shut down and restart take time Can schedule for a time in day
