azure VM A1 stuck at Undoing changes - azure

I was working on my azure VM today (BASIC, A1 (1core, 1.75GB memory)), after i was prompted to restart the VM for windows updates. it was down for an full hour. When i was able to connect back to it. this message appeard:
Since i dont have 10 reputation, this is the link to the error my VM gives me.
https://i.gyazo.com/f7a8e14e4120c1ed8340077adf430926.png
At this point. i cant do anything to the VM because of the risk of losing data. But i also dont know if this ever goes away (its already 2 hour like this.)
If anyone could inform me on whats going on or want to help me. Help is much apreciated

The answer was found, There was a problem at the update service right at the moment i was going to update the VM. After a few tweets i managed to fix it with them.

How to troubleshoot angular app hosted in WSL2

I am very new to development, so I apologize in advance if I am not being clear enough. I appreciate any feedback on the question and how to better pose it.
I'm currently working on an angular app hosted in WSL2. To get it to run locally, this is what I do:
Launch solution in VS Code
From terminal, run npm start
Then, I click on Run and Debug
Once I get the Now listening on: ..... message, I move on to Chrome to start debugging my app
Since this morning, I keep getting a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in the browser, and I'm currently waiting on IT to step in as there could have been some security changes placed that are blocking the requests. Also, I'm not using the VPN.
In the meantime, is there a way to know for sure (or get as close as possible to) what is causing the connection to be refused in my particular scenario? I'm curious about it, but I don't know how to even search the topic properly due to lack of proper terms.
What should one do to at least obtain more details about the issue on their own (perhaps, to help expedite help by collecting important info upfront)? Where my apps are hosted in WSL2, I get very confused between the ip address originating the request and that of the server.
I appreciate any guidance anyone could provide.
It turned out there was a VPN software running where the firewall was ON, even though I was not in the VPN (it went on after I connected to the VPN the previous day). I guess there was nothing else I could have done anyway.

"No Kernel!" error Azure ML compute JupyterLab

When using the JupyterLab found within the azure ML compute instance, every now and then, I run into an issue where it will say that network connection is lost.
I have confirmed that the computer is still running.
the notebook itself can be edited and saved, so the computer/VM is definitely running
Of course, the internet is fully functional
On the top right corner next to the now blank circle it will say "No Kernel!"
We can't repro the issue, can you help gives us more details? One possibility is that the kernel has bugs and hangs (could be due to extensions, widgets installed) or the resources on the machine are exhausted and kernel dies. What VM type are you using? If it's a small VM you may ran out of resources.
Having troubleshooted the internet I found that you can force a reconnect (if you wait long enough, like a few minutes, it will do on its own) by using Kernel > Restart Kernel.
Based on my own experience, it seems like this is a fairly common issue but I did spend a few minutes figuring it out. Hope this helps others who are using this.
Check your browser console for any language-pack loading errors.
Part of our team had this issue this week, the root cause for us was some language-packs for pt-br not loading correctly, once the affected team members changed the page/browser language to en-us the problem was solved.
I have been dealing with the same issue, after some research around this problem I learnt my firewall was blocking JupyterLab, Jupyter and terminal, allowing the access to it solved the issue.

fusioninventory, ITSM

to begin with, I have an internship with a trading company that has 15 points of sale. My mission is to manage its IT infrastructure with ITSM 9.1.6.
To discover its network, I use Fusioninventory 9.1+1.0.
I also have installed the latest Fusioninventory agent for Windows. My problem is that I only get response from only 10 points of sale. I didn't get my problem to solve it because the agent works well (for the 15 points of sale).
PS: it's not a problem of a firewall, I installed the netdiscovery, deploy, ESX and the other fusioninventory features
I don't have a good knowledge about ITSM neither about the Fusioninventory but I followed tutorials.
Soryy if I asked dummy questions but could any one help me please ?
You should check the logs to start debugging.
Enable logging by seting debug to 1 or 2. Open regedit and head to HKLM/Software/Fusioninventory/ find the debug key and edit it.
If you are running the agent as a service then restart it, otherwise just execute the fusioninventory-agent.bat script to launch a new inventory.
Check the logs. They are usually at %programfiles%\fusioninventory-agent\ although I think they are better at %programfiles%\fusioninventory-agent\var\. You can change where to store the log at the logfile key.
There you'll find what is stopping your inventory from reaching the server.

Azure Virtual Machine Crashing every 2-3 hours

We've got a classic VM on azure. All it's doing is running SQL server on it with a lot of DB's (we've got another VM which is a web server which is the web facing side which accesses the sql classic VM for data).
The problem we have that since yesterday morning we are now experiencing outages every 2-3 hours. There doesnt seem to be any reason for it. We've been working with Azure support but they seem to be still struggling to work out what the issue is. There doesnt seem to be anything in the event logs that give's us any information.
All that happens is that we receive a pingdom alert saying the box is out, we then can't remote into it as it times out and all database calls to it fail. 5 minutes later it will come back up. It doesnt seem to fully reboot or anything it just haults.
Any ideas on what this could be caused by? Or any places that we could look for better info? Or ways to patch this from happening?
The only thing that seems to be in the event logs that occurs around the same time is a DNS Client Event "Name resolution for the name [DNSName] timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."
Smartest or Quick Recovery:
Did you check SQL Server by connecting inside VM(internal) using localhost or 127.0.0.1/Instance name. If you can able connect SQL Server without any Issue internally and then Capture or Snapshot SQL Server VM and Create new VM using Capture VM(i.e without lose any data).
This issue may be occurred by following criteria:
Azure Network Firewall
Windows Server Update
This ended up being a fault with the node/sector that our VM was on. I fixed this by enlarging the size of our VM instance (4 core to 8 core), this forced azure to move it to another node/sector and this rectified the issue.

Azure Server Incaccessible

One of my 10 Azure VMs running windows has suddenly became inaccessible! Azure Management Console shows the state of this VM as "running" the Dashboard shows no server activity since my last RDP logout 16 hours ago. I tried restarting the instance with no success, still inaccessible ( No RDP access, hosted application down, unsuccessful ping...).
I have changed the instance size from A5 to A6 using the management portal and everything went back to normal. Windows event viewer showed no errors except the unexpected shutdown today after my Instance size change. Nothing was logged between my RDP logout yesterday and the system startup today after changing the size.
I can't afford having the server down for 16 hours! Luckily this server was the development server.
How can I know what went wrong? Anyone faced a similar issue with Azure?
Thanks
there is no easy way to troubleshoot this without capturing it in a stuck state.
Sounds like you followed the recommended steps, i.e.:
- Check VM is running (portal/PowerShell/CLI).
- Check endpoints are valid.
- Restart VM
- Force a redeployment by changing the instance size.
To understand why it happened it would be necessary to leave it in a stuck state and open a support case to investigate.
There is work underway to make both self-service diagnosis and redeployment easier for situations like this.
Apparently nothing is wrong! After the reboot the machine was installing updates to complete the reboot. When I panicked, I have rebooted it again, stopped it, started it again and I have even changed its configuration thinking that it is dead. While in fact it was only installing updates.
Too bad that we cannot disable the automatic reboot or estimate the time it takes to complete.
