What is the MSIT Recommendad value for Application Insight - azure

I want the MSIT Recommendad value for Application Insight.
How i can find it.
I have searched it on microsoft website but i can't able to find it.
thanks.

Application Insights is the service that can be added to your project through the Visual Studio or manually by adding it to the configuration files.
The tutorials are available.
Regarding recommendations - there are not very many recommendations, you should select the region where your project are, to reduce the network latency.
Name - one of the best practices is to use prefixes for your deployment, for example, "ws-northeu-instance1" and "ws-appins" or something like that.

Azure ARM provide us any way to inspect the changes

I am working with Azure Templates (ARM). I have to create a lot of resources and I will like to use some function to check what is going to be change in my infrastructure.
I searched a lot for any information related with this GREAT FEATURE (if there is one) but I did not find anything. So I will like to know if there is any way to see which resources are going to be change . I know about this for Chef and Ansible. So any suggestions or clue would be great.
No, unfortunately there is no feature to see that, but you should supply that to the feedback site. This is indeed a great idea.

White-Label a UWP Application

I am about to start development on an UWP Application. One of the last minute requirements was to be able to support white-labeling the application for our partners. Does anyone have any experience doing this using the Universal Windows Platform that would be willing to give me some insight on resources I should be looking at?
Some basic questions I have is:
Is it possible? I read about it being done with iOS and Android.
How do you create the AppPackage for each partner?
Localization differences? Where one localization may refer to it as one product, but another refers to it as the other product.
Or is this something where I would bundle everything up and send it to the partner to create their own upload? If this is the case, is there a how-to on that?
Some of these might be basic questions, but this is the first time I have created a white-label application, so it is all new to me.
Have just replied to another one topic and looks that screenshot is still needed)
When you submit App to store you can find option:
This way you can make your app visible only to your partners. And you can also register as many apps as you like (each one for separate partner)
Or you can distribute your app thrue Windows Store for Business.

Why can't we assign Localization to ApplicationPoolIdentity

I've been investigating some localization issues with our web application and even though I start to understand the problems and the way to solve them... I still have a couple of questions I failed to find a decent answer to.
It would be great of some people can point me out to appropriate documentation for me to read up and understand more the concept of ApplicationPoolIdentity.
What I understand so far:
There are 2 ways to make your web application Localization-aware based on your requirements.
1) Configure in the web.config file (Globalization) or in the IIS UI for the specific website.
This works great, except it does not pick up Globalization on IIS-level when website is Auto Detect or Invariant Culture? What's the hierarchy it's using?
2) Configure Localization for the user under which the IIS process is running.
You need to copy the Localization settings to the system accounts (as explained here)
You then need to run the apppool under one of these accounts (local, Networkservice, LocalService...)
It does not seem to work when running under ApplicationPoolIdentity
ApplicationPoolIdentity is a virtual user account, assuming that's why it's not picked up by the copy-to action in Localization.
Although, it's not working either when I say Copy-To-New-Accounts.
So what Localization is the ApplicationPoolIdentity using???
It seems the default one based on the Windows Installation, am I right here?
If anyone can correct me and answer my questions, or link to some more documentation around this. Really appreciated.

How to define autoscaling rules without using Enterprise Library Config console?

I am working on Windows 7 OS and Visual Studio 2012 Express for Web.
I have tried installing the Enterprise Library Config console but it says that the extension is not installable on this product. Am guessing I need Visual studio 2012 ultimate for it?
Since I cant afford it, is there any way that I can manually write the rules?
I have been reading the mammoth article of WASABi . Its a lot of theory and I have gone through most of it. I understand what kind of rules i should write to scale up or down but its not exactly a tutorial. For starters I dont know where I should store the rules.xml and how i should reference it to my windows azure application. Or where i should mention which roles should the rules.xml apply to etc. I know about AzureWatch which provides a simple UI to define all the scaling rules but again I cant afford it.
Hence I would really appreciate if anyone can throw some light or some sample tutorial etc to help me understand on how to get started on writing the scaling rules manually.
Thanks
Absolutely, you can configure the rules in XML and we worked hard to design a usable schema to help you do that. Also, take a look at Labs 2 and 3 from this set for additional guidance.
Do keep in mind that the built-in autoscaling feature in Windows Azure addresses the basic autoscaling needs without a need for hosting anything. I would recommend to look at that, because if it fits your autoscaling requirements, then it’s easier to use. Wasabi, on the other hand, is more flexible. See my post with the comparative analysis.

Wix - set file read access

I am looking into a way of setting read access on a specific file for a web application (where all files read option is set to be false--unchecked in IIS) deployed with Wix. Is it a possible option at all or I am asking the question in a wrong way?
Thank you.
That level of granularity is not supported by the WiX toolset's IIS custom actions today. It'd be cool if someone implemented it and contributed back to the community.
