Improving the Resilence of Azure VM Disk

In Microsoft Azure there are many features available to improve the resilience of your Azure resources. In this article, I am going to focus on the resilience of an Azure VM Disk.

Let me paint a scenario where a Azure VM was created with a disk as LRS (locally redundant storage). The risk with the LRS is the disks are only protected against physical failures within a single datacenter such as server rack or drive failure. However, to increase the resilience of the VM disk against datacenter failures, I recommend that it is configure as ZRS (zone-redundant storage).

To convert a disk from LRS to ZRS, the correct procedure must be followed based on whether the disk is zonal or regional. To check this state, run the following command:

Azure CLI:

az disk show –name [DiskName] –resource-group [RGName]

If the zone parameter is empty, it is an indication that it is regional otherwise it is zonal.

The disk locality will be determine which method is applied to convert the disk from LRS to ZRS. Once verified as regional continue to the next steps to start the process.

For regional disk, it is necessary to only deallocate(shutdown) the Azure VM and then convert the disk using the commands:

Firstly, gather the Azure VM and disk information and create variables to store these values:

$RGName='ResourceGroupName'

$vmDiskName='VMDiskName'

$vmSize='Standard_DS_v2'

$diskSKU='Premium_ZRS'

Get the Parent VM Id (required for sizing of the VM if disk type is changed from Premium to Standard)

$vmId= $(az disk show \

–name$vmDiskName \

–resource-group $RGName \

–query manageBy \

–output tsv)

Stop the Azure VM in preparation for disk conversion

az vm deallocate --ids $vmId

Upgrade the Azure VM size (this step is critical that VM size can support the disk SKU or the disk conversion may fail)

az vm resize –ids $vmId –size $vmSize

Convert the disk from LRS to ZRS:

az disk update –name $vmDiskName –sku $diskSKU –resource-group $RGName

Start up the VM:

az vm start –ids $vmId

If the disk is zonal:

  • a snapshot of the original disk will need to be created.
  • Then a new disk will be created from the snapshot.
  • when the disk is created, a new VM will be provisioned with this new disk atached.

I hope this article assist with the steps to convert a disk from LRS to ZRS.

Multi-Cloud Architect Study Guide and Resources

Introduction

I have created this article to reflect the title which is to provide study resources to prepare for the various Cloud Architect certifications for Oracle, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Each of them brings their own dynamics to the architecture space and has difference focus and value. When you combine the information together, it will make you a well rounded Architect. The only missing piece is the business side because these resources only bring the technology perspective and focus. To fill this gap, I have included other resources from my references who I believe are enlightening the technical community on how to approach Architects with soft skills which is more important than the technical skills (the know how). Resources are from difference sources:

Technical Skills for Cloud Architects from different Cloud Service Providers:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Professional

Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect

AWS Solutions Architect Professional

Azure Solutions Architect Expert

Connecting a Web App Service to a Azure VM privately

This article is about setting a public accessible Web App Service which allowing it to connect privately to a Azure VM within a Virtual network (VNET).

I was given a task to assist our developer to connect a Web App with customized code to interface with a Azure VM hosting an SQL server database and customized web services. The design requirements were as followings:

  • The Web App must be accessible public with no restrictions
  • The Azure VM must be accessible by the Web App Service only
  • The services must use most cost effective Azure resources to accomplish this result.

After reviewing the requirements and accessing what Azure features are available to accomplish the task. The following solution was provided.

  1. The Web App Service must have the supported pricing tier of at least Basic or Standard to use it with VNet.
  2. Configure a Subnet with CIDR notation of /26 which will facilitate the private connection from the Web App.
  3. Configure the VNET Integration to connect the Web App to the subnet created previously for the private communication.
  4. Network Security Group (NSG) can be used to limit who can accept connections from the Web App service in the private subnet.
