We have an issue where we are able to upload files into Azure blob storage from local code but not from the application as is hosted on IIS inside EC2 instance .. Any idea as to what can be the possible reasons .
There are some possible reasons for the issue in uploading files into Azure blob from application.
You can try with below points that might fix your issues:
In azure portal check the configuration of the storage whether it is correct version for storage client. Nowadays the latest TLS version is 1.2 .
If it is required lower version you can change by below:
Go to Azure portal->storage->Configuration->Minimum TLS version.
check with server which IIS is installed once. It might be some issues accessing the internet from that server.
Also check with Firewall in your system that allows the connection (protocol, host & port).
If TLS 1.2 is enabled check server with registry keys. if there is need to be added try to add the changes in registry keys.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols.

I want to upload image files from one of my local drives to my Azure storage container. I'm using the Azure Upload Task in SSIS.
It is connected to the azure storage container just fine, and I'm targeting a specific container and place the images into a directory. However, when I execute the task, it gives me the following error:
Error: 'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=Unable to create Azure Blob container.
Error: Upload task has stopped with exception: Unable to create Azure Blob container.
Can anyone give me some help with this kind of problem? Thank you.
I had the same problem.
If the error message contains anything like this:
The TLS version of the connection is not permitted on this storage account
the solution is to downgrade the minimum TLS version on Azure Storage in the cloud or do something with the TLS version on your on premises machine. You can find this setting on Azure Storage Configuration.
Default TLS on Azure is Version 1.2
If you downgrade (not recommended) there is a degree of security risk you are taking.
Microsoft TLS documentation
After these changes I can upload files using Access Key method or SAS (shared access signature).
Can I host a web application created on .net core 2.1 with sql server as database to azure web app service using CI tools / MS WebDeploy?
The following points I want to take care:
The application is using file system for temp storage and file storage
Deployment should be managed by some CI tools such as jenkins
After deployment, the app settings file should be modified with some keys/server details
Log files(stored on app root) should be accessible by application administrator
Is there a way to create a virtual directory same as in IIS and upload the files using FTP or similar protocols..?
All your doubts about deploying .net core 2.1 web app are achievable.
Suppose our projects are all completed and uploaded to github.
Questions and explanations about your concerns：
About the connection configuration using the database, you can directly configure it in web.config. If you are using azure sql server, find the connection string, set up the firewall, and pass the SSMS test, you can test the connection in the code. It can also be added in the Configuration -> Application settings -> Connection strings in the portal. After the addition, the priority is higher than the configuration in web.config, which will override the configuration and not modify the web.config file.
Regarding the use of file storage, you can use azure storage services or not. Looking specifically at the business, for example, very small pictures, documents and other files can be stored in the current program running directory, which is consistent with the original development at the code level. When publishing, you need to include the MyFiles file in the publishing process, or wait for the publishing to be completed and add folders manually in kudu, or the program can judge. It is recommended to use the program to judge that the subsequent program upgrade will not lose data.
The confidential information in the app settings file can actually be configured in web.config or appsetting.json. Make sure that the offline project is running properly when you are debugging locally, and then you can publish it. The rest is configured in the portal as in the first explanation.
The Log Files file storage can fully achieve the effect you want. It should be enough to set the owner permissions of this app services. For details, please refer to the official documentation.
Virtual directories and virtual applications, I have a better answer in another post here, you can refer to it.
Steps：
First of all, we can create a web app in portal and select .net core 2.1. Create appservices, and click Deployment Center when finished.
Follow the prompts step by step, and wait until the Action in github is completed, and the release is successful.
I know very little about Azure, but I am looking for a cloud server where I can have clients SFTP their files to us. It will be used primarily for data storage. The only requirement is that the files be sent over SFTP (not FTP).
Does anyone have any experience with this? How difficult is this to setup? Is this even possible?
You can find step by step instructions on how to set up a regular FTP site on Windows Azure VM here - http://nicoploner.blogspot.com/2010/12/ftp-server-on-windows-azure-from.html
Here's how to set up SFTP on Windows Server (applies to Azure VM as well) - http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1487/setting-up-a-sftp-server-on-windows
Yes you can set up an Azure VM Role and then install a SFTP Server for a Windows Server.
You can also set up a Linux VM Role and just use the native sftp command.
Depending on what you are doing, you may want to use a RESTful service that points back to blob storage (this is not SFTP), but it does go over HTTPs and you have all the benefits of Azure Blob Storage directly.
Here are a couple of options and additional resources:
1) You can install SFTP on Windows Server
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_windows_openssh_server
This uses an OpenSSH package on GitHub from Microsoft.
2) You can use an Ubuntu VM
As #Bart Czernicki mentioned, OpenSSH is built into Linux, and it comes with SFTP out of the box. Customize your implementation using the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
3) SFTP Gateway
We have a product on the Azure Marketplace called SFTP Gateway that might help. (Disclosure: I work for Thorn Technologies.)
This is a good option for launching an SFTP server without having to build it from scratch. It also has a web interface for managing users, to help minimize the time spent at the SSH terminal.
BTW, although this wasn't asked in the original question, you might want to consider moving data to a durable storage layer (Azure Blob Storage). One approach would be to use incron to listen for file events. Once a file is done transferring via SFTP, use the Azure CLI to copy the file to Azure Blob Storage, and then delete the file from disk on success. This is the approach we used to build SFTP Gateway.
Hope this helps!
This might not be so much of a programming question..but still..
I have the need of getting a site the currently is hosted in azure down to a local development environment.. is there anyway to do that?, any tools or such?..
Thanks in advance!
Not currently. Once the cloud service deployment package has been handed over to the Azure Fabric controller, there is no way to reclaim it, even if you submit a support ticket. The closest you can get to this is either upload packages to Windows Azure Blob Storage first, then deploy from there, or enable remote desktop and copy the files from inside the VM to an external storage account.
My suggestion would be to do one of the following:
If you have RDP enabled, you can remote in and grab the files
Otherwise, I would suggest creating a support case and having Microsoft help you get out the files: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&c1=501&gprid=14928&&st=1&wfxredirect=1&sd=gn
I have a webrole I'd like to host in IIS for the time being.
Does anyone know how involved this is, considering that I still want Azure Storage functions of the IIS site to still work?
Azure Storage (tables, blobs, queues) only run on the actual Windows Azure environment in the cloud. There is a simulated development environment that runs a facsimile on a local SQL Server database, but that is only meant for development purposes and cannot be used for running an actual site.
Theoretically, you could run your webapp locally and connect to Azure Storage over the internet (e.g. by using the REST api), but latency would almost certainly be too high for any interactive site.
So, if you want to be able to run your site on premise on your own IIS environment, you will need to remove all the specific Azure platform dependencies and build in non-Azure alternatives. For Azure Storage, you could either do a relational database (SQL Server, mySQL) or look at a nosql/document database.
If you want to move it to IIS then tijmedvdk's answer is correct.
If your goal is to run it in your data center then you should consider Azure Appliance http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/appliance/ this allows you to run Azure applications on premise, without making any changes.
This answers seems misleading. Windows Azure is a platform that provides several services and you can choose from the services that you want to use.
In essence a Windows Azure is just a Virtual Machine with
*Windows Server 2008 R2
*IIS 7.5
So can if you have an application that you are currently hosting in Azure and you want to host it in IIS I don't see much of a problem there.
If you are using Storage, the only problem might be that the Storage account settings were in the WebRole or Service configuration files, but you can change your app logic to take the appropiate settings from other config files.
I have created Windows Desktop applications that for several reasons use Azure Storage and i also think of that as a great advantage of cloud computing.
