Azure Official Phone Management app: Control the Cloud room anywhere, anytime

the use of public cloud services has been so large that enterprises IT automates and runs efficiently, reducing our maintenance of servers, storage, networks and other infrastructure. Before our server is in the Enterprise room, we will install monitoring equipment, cameras and so on to ensure that our IT resources, System applications run properly. After we migrated our servers and systems to the azure public cloud, we were able to monitor and manipulate the rooms in the entire cloud through the Azure management portal. This is very convenient because we can use any computer to log in to the management portal to manage and monitor IT resources, applications in Azure.

But even so, we can not at any time in front of the computer, open the management portal staring at the entire cloud room. For this reason today's protagonist was born, that is in the major mainstream mobile phone platform of app application Azure cloud Assistant. Let's take a look at what the Azure Cloud Assistant is capable of providing, and how to keep the room in our cloud firmly in our hands.

First, we open the Azure Cloud Assistant app, and the first step is to sign in to our Azure account, and if you don't have an azure account, you can try 1RMB quickly to get a trial account by applying for a trial below.

Once you sign in to your Azure account, you'll see more content on your home page, showing most of the azure services you use daily, such as virtual machines, web apps, storage spaces, SQL databases, and automation scripts. At the bottom of each service name, you can see how many instances of the current type of service have been created, and clicking on different services expands the service details.

We click on the virtual machine service to display all the currently created virtual machines and include the current state of the virtual machine, performance configuration, public network The IP address and the owning subscription. We can enter the virtual machine details by clicking on the virtual machine name.

access to the virtual machine's detailed interface, you can see more details, such as internal IP address,DNS name, and so on, there are CPU, disk and network monitoring situation, can be accurate to 1 hours, 1 days and 7 days within.

In the upper right of the iOS version, there are quick actions to start, close, restart, and set up the virtual machine.

let's look at the Setup interface, the most important thing for a virtual machine is to adjust the performance of the virtual machine in addition to monitoring the virtual machine. For example, we find that the CPU usage of virtual machines is only 10-20% in 1 days or 7 days, so we can quickly adjust the virtual machine size to lower performance level through Azure cloud Assistant, thus avoiding unnecessary waste of resources and reducing our cost of using public cloud.

650) this.width=650; "src=" Http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/85/7F/wKioL1elvjTwD8TsAACMzP1SX8Q682.png "/>

Similar to the management portal for Web pages, we can choose the level of virtual machines and the performance level of the virtual machine, the level is divided into basic and standard, the basic and standard respectively corresponding to different performance levels, of course, the hourly price is also different. Once the new virtual machine level is set, the Save icon appears in the upper right corner and the virtual machine performance adjustment is done by clicking.

It is important to note that adjusting the virtual machine performance level requires restarting the virtual machine, and the Azure Cloud Assistant will confirm with us in order to cause unnecessary impact after clicking Save.

In addition to the ability to adjust the virtual machine performance level, you can also quickly manage the virtual machine's endpoints, which is what we traditionally call port management. By default, Windows virtual machines in Azure Open two TCP protocol ports, respectively for PowerShell management and Remote Desktop Connection, the public port is randomly generated, and the private port corresponds to the actual port used by the protocol in the virtual machine. We can quickly add and modify existing endpoint settings to complete configuration and operational needs.

back in the main interface, let's look at another important feature beyond management, which is the monitoring of virtual machines. We can click "Add Monitoring" in the "My Monitoring" screen to increase the number of VMS, cloud services,SQL databases, and storage spaces we need to be aware of.

For example, after clicking on the virtual machine, we will go to the virtual Machine list interface that has been created in azure, then we can subscribe to the virtual machine service we need to pay attention to by clicking the "Pushpin" icon . CPU usage, disk read and write, and network input and output, this item will appear directly on the My Monitoring page.

Once added, go back to the "My monitoring" screen to see what's happening with the current monitoring, and we keep an eye on the status of the services in Azure.

In addition to this, there is the "dosage of the Month" feature, is also very important, because we can see our usage of this month azure, such as the number of hours of use of virtual machines, related networks, storage usage, etc., and can see our consumption situation, As a result, we have targeted adjustments and optimized service usage in the cloud.

Click the subscription name to modify the subscription view, and if there are multiple subscriptions to the current account, we can quickly switch to see service usage in different subscriptions.

For users who are not very familiar with Azure, you can also use the "price profile" on the home page to learn about the prices of all azure services, making it more reasonable and flexible to work with Azure.

Click "Explore" at the bottom to see the major major Web sites on cloud computing news, blog, etc., can always focus on the cloud computing industry related news events, new technologies, gather rich industry information, so that users always stand in the forefront of the cloud.

In the question and answer interface, we can quickly see some common azure cloud service issues that can be viewed by search or by type.

In the "my" screen, you can see the current account number, you can make subscription selection, app settings and feedback.

In the list of subscriptions, you can see the subscriptions for the current account, and if you have multiple subscriptions, you can select the subscriptions you want to manage in the cloud assistant as needed, and the services in the unchecked subscription will not appear on the home page and in the monitoring.

Azure Cloud Assistant is Microsoft China Azure Official mobile app, is a very easy to use for mobile phone Azure management app, because it is the first version, may not be fully functional, but I believe that will do better. There is no problem with azure management and monitoring currently used on everyday phones. Welcome to download and use, currently in the iOS App Store officially online, Android can also be downloaded in the major app stores, you can also directly scan the following two-dimensional code:
