What is the 1.24TB storage in the Sharepoint? - sharepoint

enter image description here
In the above image, under the admin centre, we can see the storage as 1.24TB, when 'Active Sites' is selected.
What this storage is?

It's the total and available storage space for your organization. Check below docs for more details:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepoint/manage-site-collection-storage-limits#view-the-total-and-available-storage-space-for-your-organization
Basically, the amount of Microsoft SharePoint space your organization has is based on your number of licenses:

Azure DataBricks compute limited to 0 - why?

I am trying to do a tutorial for DataBricks and am trying to create a single node cluster, however whatever I do it just will not work. I'm pretty sure I'm on a pay-as-you-go subscription and the limit should be 10.
Whichever compute I select, I get this error:
with this message:
This account may not have enough CPU cores to satisfy this request
Estimated available: 0, requested: 4
Learn more about CPU quota.
When I've gone to up my limit it says that the limit is 0/10 so I should have 10 avaliable?
Please can someone else me with this. Thanks
First confirm your subscription is pay-as-you-go or not. If not upgrade, it
Sign in to the Azure portal
Navigate to Subscriptions and then select your subscription.
In overview under Offer you will find pay-as-you-go.
After this if it is pay as you go subscription you can follow below procedure to Increase Azure Databricks Cluster vCPU Cores Limits
Go to Azure Portal > Clik in Search Resource Field> Type in “help” > Choose “Help + support”
At the top of the page , select “Create a support request” and fill the below information.
Summary: Services and subscription limits (quotas)
Issue type : Technical
Subscription: choose your subscription
Service: My services

Proble subtype: select “Compute-VM (cores-vCPUs) subscription limit increases”
After selecting all the required fields, click “Next”.
In the “Additional Details” tab, click the link “Provide details” to bring the “Quota details” blade window to the right. Then, in the window:
Deployment model: Select “Resource Manager”.

AzureML to use geo-replication / secondary Blob Storage container for Datastore

For sake of safety I wish to use geo-replication / secondary Blob Storage container for a data source for AzureML Datastore. So I do the following:
New Datastore
Enter name + Azure Blob Storage + Enter manually
For URL I paste "Secondary Blob Service Endpoint" value from "Storage account endpoints" and I add container name at the end, e.g. https://somedata-secondary.blob.core.windows.net/container-name
Select subscription ID
I select the resource group in which somedata is hosted,
I add account key taken from "Access keys" section, I tried also with SAS token
After finalizing, the new datastore seem to appear in the list but it is impossible to Browse (preview), throwing the error "Invalid host".
What is the correct way of doing this?
Is it possible at all to access this geo-replication / secondary Blob Storage as datastore?
Please check with below points:
Initially please check if Share Access Token (SAS) token is outdated or expired
Please note that Both primary and geo-secondary are required to have the same service tier and strongly recommended that the geo-secondary is configured with the same backup storage redundancy and compute size as the primary.
Note: You can only access your storage account by its primary name. In the event of failover, that name will be mapped to the alternate datacenter.
There are two disadvantages of GRS redundancy:
Replication between regions is asynchronous and so data is propagated with a small delay
The second region cannot be accessed or read until the storage account fails over
Active geo-replication - Azure SQL Database | Microsoft Docs
As the replicated endpoint will be https://account-secondary.blob.core.windows.net. Note that this DNS entry won’t even be registered unless read access geo redundant replication is enabled.
The access keys for your storage account are the same for both the primary and secondary endpoints. You can use the same primary (or secondary) access key for the secondary too.

Azure Cost Management - how to match ResourceGuid with ResourceId

I have a sponsored Azure subscription thanks to our partnership with Microsoft.
I have the ability to export usage from a dedicated web Site (Azure SponsorShip).
Unfortunately in the CSV file I received, I have only ResourceGUID and not ResourceId... And I don't know how to match these Ids.
Any ideas to find the Id related to a Resource Guid?
Thanks.
Resource GUID is different which denotes the Deployment GUID of the service. To get the breakdown of which resources are actually contributing towards the costs.
If you refer to the page Understand your bill for Microsoft Azure, you can see the description for the "Resource GUID" property:
The billed meter identifier. This is used as the identifier used to
price billing usage.
If you'd like to manually know the resource name which you are being billed for you can log into the Azure Account Center, click "Billing History" and download the usage details for the current period. This information is being updated daily, and you even get usage information with a daily breakdown

How do I list attached and unattached VHDs in Azure Web Portal

I am using the web portal http://portal.azure.com and I cannot find the VHDs associated with Virtual Machines. Neither the VHDs from current machines, nor those of machines I have deleted. I should be able to select the Storage Account associated with the resource group I created the machines with an list them there. However I can only see options for Blobs,Files,Tables and Queues. From the documentation I think they should be be blobs, but selecting blobs nothing is listed and the interface tells me I have no containers. However the storage endpoint for the VHDs (which I can pick out from a VM definition) does show a URL like this: https://myfirstresourcegroupXXXX.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/
Go to: https://portal.azure.com/
click on:
-> Browse > (lower left)
-> Storage Accounts (you should star it, so it's pinned to the left pane)
-> TheNameOfYourStorageAccount
-> Blobs (It's below the text description under "Services")
-> vhds
Finally you'll have the list of VHDs :) easy... or? ;)

Cannot delete blob: There is currently a lease on the blob and no lease ID was specified in the request

When I attempt to delete a blob from my storage account container, I get an error message, "There is currently a lease on the blob and no lease ID was specified in the request."
I have 4 virtual machine instances. I also have 8 virtual machine disks, 4 of which are in use (one by each of the virtual machine instances). Strangely, I have 10 blobs listed in my single storage account's lone container, called vhds. Here is a screenshot of the 10 blobs, highlighting the two that I cannot delete.
Can anyone give me guidance on how to delete these blobs? I have no use for them and I'd like to cut down on my storage costs for my subscription.
You need to delete the disks from the Virtual Machines section of the portal.
Navigate to Virtual Machines -> Disks
Delete the disks
Check this MSDN blog post for the complete instructions:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windows_azure_technical_support_wats_team/archive/2013/02/05/iaas-unable-to-delete-vhd-there-is-currently-a-lease-on-the-blob.aspx
Alternatively, you can just kill the lease on the Blobs with PowerShell:
(Get-AzureRmStorageAccount -Name "STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME" | Get-AzureStorageBlob -name "CONTAINER_NAME").ICloudBlob.BreakLease()
Just realize when you do this, the VM's that use this storage will not be able to turn on. (And you should turn them off if they aren't already before you do this.
However, if you might use the VM's again in the future this technique allows you to:
Stop the VM in question.
Download a copy of the VHD.
Release the lease on the VHD
Delete the VHD in the storage account.
Insert arbitrary time period where you don't need the VM
Upload the VHD to the same storage account with the same container and same file name.
Start the VM back up and have it work :-).
There is an alternate (easier) way to break a lease if you use (or download) Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer (a really cool tool to manage Azure Storage).
You can browse to the Storage Account and find the relevant file (vhd) and then select the Break Lease option.
The same CAUTIONS above apply and the Explorer tool makes these clear.
You should have images associated to your VMs. Even if you have deleted your VMs, the images have to be explicitly deleted.
Once the images are deleted, you should see VHD getting cleared as well
