What is azure StormCloud? - azure

In my azure portal I see that I apparently have GBP95 credit for my StormCloud subscription, but what is it?
There's nothing to say what it actually is - it's as if I should know, but I don't.
Am I just being an Azure n00b?
Thx

n00b!
StormCloud is a name I must've come up with one Friday afternoon months ago. It's nothing other than a cosmetic label in Azure billing - thus why I could find nothing on teh webs.
Thanks BrentDaCodeMonkey and David, everyone else please keep calm and carry on.

https://language.cognitive.azure.com/clu/projects - get *A server error occurred. Please refresh the page...* every time when creating new project

I am new to Cognitive Services Language Studio and I'm a novice at best with Azure. I was trying to set up LUIS but the site said it was being discontinued and to use CLU instead. I have an Azure account with a new language resource group setup. It's all showing up in the CLU create new project form correctly. However, when I hit CREATE from the second page of the project creation modal I get the error message "UNKNOWN [current time] A server error occurred. Please refresh the page and try again."
Is this an Azure server issue or bug or is there something that I can do on my end to fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
I filled out the Create New Project modal and and when I pressed Create I got the above error. Every single time. It is accessing my Azure correctly including the language resource. Everything that has an asterisk next to it is filled out or correctly selected. I don't know if it's because it's a new Azure feature and it's still buggy, or maybe there's late night maintenance, or is there something I can fix on my end and the error message just isn't giving me that information.
I am able to create a project right now, I am in S0 tier and southcentralus region. Please share your region so that I can check with your region as well. I don't see any bug in the backend as well.

azure portal subscription filter jumps to settings

On the Azure portal, since a couple of days, clicking on the subscription filter, the portal automatically brings me to directory/subscription settings. This is not the desired behaviour.
I automatically get this :
Any clues ?
#cat5dm - Apologies for delay in getting back to this thread. Post validation with our internal team below is the update I can share with you.
Post consistent feedback from customers handling many subscriptions , the full screen experience for settings and filters was the design choice taken. The idea was to centralize all settings in one place rather than two. In the meantime, we are directing the old filter icon to the settings so that users would find the new location without having to discover the gear icon . However, we will be eventually removing the filter button from the top and only have the settings gear.
Hope this information helps. We hope the new experience will be helpful , however if you have any feedback, please let us know. Thank you

Cannot delete Azure Active Directory

I have two Azure Active Directories that I cannot delete. One is a remnant from a project at a former company. One is from a Azure demo that I tried.
I am certain that these directories are not being used and I would naturally like to delete them.
When I switch to either of these directories I get a notification popup in the upper right corner of the Azure portal which states: "You do not have any Azure subscriptions in the directory".
After switching to either of these directories I went to the Overview page (Azure Active Directory -> Overview).
In the menu bar at the top of the overview page the "Delete Directory" button is grayed out. Hence my problem.
Also the Overview page indicates that my role is User. Clearly this is not encouraging, since generally only owners can delete items.
So I appear to be stuck with this useless clutter.
Any suggestions. Should I contact Azure support and have them try?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Best regards,
Frank
I had the same issue as you (like 25 AD's from testing at different clients'), and no way to remove them. Contacting support will get this sorted quickly. I do wonder how people do this without a suppor package ;-)

Is there an RoleInstanceId equivilent on Azure Websites?

I'm looking for the equivalent of an Azure RoleInstanceId, but on an Azure Website (as opposed to an Azure Web Role). I've looked extensively for such a thing, but to no avail. I even deployed a "test" website to display all of the Environment Variables on the Azure Website, but there didn't appear to be a useful variable in the set.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
BTW, in case you're interested in why I would want such a thing, I'm trying to implement an advanced version of the Steve Marx's excellent Scalable Counters with Windows Azure...
Request.ServerVariables[ "INSTANCE_ID" ]
Get IIS site id from a website
Would give you IIS site Id .. Might work as an identify. Other than hard coding in configuration file.
That should give you a unique id then of inputting a id for each row of the counter.
Worst case would be just use Guid and generate it each time.
This would then make sure you counter would be good.
Hths,

Specifying Azure subscription when creating website

I've been playing around with the new "Websites" feature of Azure (which I believe is still in beta), but I've run into a problem. I've got two subscriptions associated with my account - one for personal use, the other for my company. And of course, I'd like to be able to specify which subscription is used when I create a new website. But when I try to create a website, it always picks my second subscription, and never gives me a chance to specify which one I'd like to use. Nor can I figure out how to move the website to a different subscription after I've created it.
I've walked through this several times now, and I can't spot any place where I can specify which subscription to use. Is this just a beta glitch? Or have I missed something?
I ran into the same thing, called MS support. Switch back to the standard portal to make this change.
To get to the old portal hover over the green "preview" button at the top. This doesn't seem to work in Chrome for me, just IE.
Do take a look at my response on MSDN Forums for a similar question there: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazurepurchasing/thread/d9624b03-1d6c-484a-9fa8-8548c35a9d4f/. Basically you would need to activate this feature for each subscription separately since it is in preview mode.
