No pricing tiers? - azure

I'm trying to work through a demo Mobile App project, using Azure's Mobile Services.
Create an iOS app
The instructions point me to Microsoft's Azure Portal, and they simply aren't working for me.
First problem was that the instructions for creating a database didn't seem to work, but I was able to step out and create a new database, and then select that successfully.
What has me stuck now is choosing the pricing tier. It shows a pane titled "Choose your pricing tier", but the pane is empty. No pricing tiers are visible.
Any idea as to what I need to do, in Azure, to configure pricing tiers?

Azure move function app to premium tier using APIM

I'm trying to migrate a Azure Linux/Python function app from the consumption tier to a Elastic Premium tier. It turns out this is not so easy: https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions/issues/155 . You basically have to recreate the Function from scratch.
As my function is sitting behind a APIM I thought it might be possible to do this by:
Creating a new ASP with the correct tier
Deploy Function into new ASP
Switch the APIM back end of the API to the new function.
The trouble is I can't figure out how to do that last part. I can't seem to find where this is configured, or how to change it (via the portal or via CLI).
I've even done some splunking in the configs using the new resources front-end https://resources.azure.com/ and can't even find where the APIM configuration for the backends reside.
You just need to go to your APIM, click "APIs" tab, choose your api under "All APIs", click "..." button of your api then import another function app to your APIM api.
For example, I have a api under "All APIs" in my APIM. Its backend is a function app running with consumption plan. Like below screenshot:
Now I want to change the backend of the api to another function app which running with Elastic Premium tier. Just click "..." button of the api, and click "Import" like below screenshot:
Then choose "Function App" and select your new function app.

Azure services not listing anything

I am new to Azure. I know this is weird question.
But, when I am creating any Storage Account or a VM or say any service instance, I am not able to list it in the service listing after creating. Looks like its created but disappeared.
Due to it, Azure is charging me as I cannot delete the service(e.g a VM) that I created.
Anyone has any insight into this.
You can list/delete it with by using Azure CLI or Azure Powershell Az module.
Did you try checking the notification panel on the top right. Whatever resources are created, it will appear in notification saving "deployed/in progress/etc". Click on go to resource if notification shows it. Also check the dashboard page, if any recent resources are available.
Image shows the home page with recent resources and showing the notification panel.
You can also check your cost analysis. Go to your subscription -> Click on Pay-as-you-go -> Under cost management -> Cost Analysis.
Cost Analysis will tell you, for what services and resources you are getting charged. You can filter the result and view it by resource.
Hope this helps.

Azure portal: How to find today's visitors count of my Azure web app?

I have an ASP.NET Core web app on Azure. I'm using Azure Portal, of course. It is running fine, no problems.
Here is my question: Where in the Portal can I find out how many visitors the website has had today?
I've looked into Application Insights, but it looks like a large amount of study and work just to answer a simple, ordinary question: How many visitors today?
Any help will be appreciated.
I see you mentioned application insights. And for your case, it's the easy and convenient way, just a few steps.
1.Create an application insights:
2.In azure portal, nav to your web app -> in the left blade, select "Application Insights", and click "Turn on site extension" -> fill in necessary fields -> click Apply button:
3.Now everything is ready, if you want to see how many users visit your site, just nav to the application insights -> in the left blade, click Users:
There is no such a metric available for Azure App Services, closest you can get is the number of requests. You can look at the metrics if you open the metrics blade of the App Service

I tried different solutions in web and also here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/gg607768.aspx. But could not able to succeed.
I am confused on how to start developing the market place apps. I mean which project template i should use to develop an Market place App.
Can any one please help me how to start developing the web application for Azure market place?
You may check the process outlined in this document Publish and manage an offer in the Azure Marketplace - this article is provided to help - create, deploy, and manage solutions listed in the Azure Marketplace.
Refer to the Marketplace Publisher Guide and Azure managed applications in the Marketplace for details.
Publish a Solution Template: Based on your requirement, you could use the solution templates which allows you to combine multiple items already available in the marketplace to create more powerful solutions.
Whereas, the ‘Publish a Developer Service’ provides fully managed developer services (SAAS) for developers to use in custom application development.
Note: Solutions Template has migrated to the new Cloud Partner Portal (requires registration prior to access).
Additionally, check the Marketplace FAQs (here): Who do I contact with publishing or offer management questions? : Please visit the Azure Marketplace Publisher Guide for up-to-date resource and documentations on frequently asked questions. Additionally, you can log a ticket with Microsoft Support in the Cloud Partner Portal.

Published Web app to Azure, how do I browse to it, monitor it?

I have created my first app for azure. It's has an MVC3 web role which writes some data to table storage.
It also has a worker role that does some work behind the scenes to the same data.
It all works fine in the emulator.
I've uploaded it all to Azure as a staging deployment, the hosted service it is reports all roles as "ready". The health for all roles is "healthy", though the worker role appears to crash and goes to "degraded" and then resets itself (I assume this is what is happening).
So what now? I have found a "DNS Name" on my Web Role in the form "http://{guid}.cloudapp.net/"
Clicking on that link just gives me a network access error, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ can't find it either.
What am I missing? Where can I see diagnostics similar to the emulator? I've set "Enable Diagnostics" to use my Azure storage account in each role. How do I get into the storage to see if it has traced anything? Can this be done through the Management Portal?
I've tried searching through MSDN, but I can't find a page that says "and then you click the DNS name link and your website will launch. I'm sure there is a lovely page like that but I can't find it.
thanks in advance!
In August 2011, the Windows Azure role templates were updated to work with the ASP.NET Universal Providers. As such, when you create a new project, the session state provider is backed by SQL Express by default. If you don't change this to SQL Azure or Cache (or disable session state), you'll run into issues.
I'm not sure this is exactly the issue you're running into, but it's a common one. See Nate Totten's blog post for more information about this (Nate calls out this issue a few pages down, under IMPORTANT NOTE).
You can access diagnostics data directly from Visual Studio Server Explorer.
Here you have all necessary information: Browsing Storage Resources with Server Explorer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ff683677.aspx
Personally I use Azure Diagnostics Manager from Cerebrata http://www.cerebrata.com/products/AzureDiagnosticsManager/ that is easy and has a good dashboard
