I want to configure an ILB for my Azure Cloud Service, similar to discussed in this article https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/load-balancer-internal-getstarted/
- but using the .Net SDK instead of powershell. (Also I have some conceptual confusion about the article/powershell maybe people will be able to explain. For VM scenario you have to explicitly create the ILB, but it seems like for cloud service you do not - is it already created, or automatically created? Why are New-AzureVM commandlets being used in a cloud service context?)
Documentation has been updated
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/load-balancer-get-started-ilb-classic-cloud/
Or are you looking for a C# sample?
You should probably not be using cloud services. These are being deprecated. Just use v2 - Azure Resource Manager (portal.azure.com) and create a load balancer instead of a cloud service. Regardless, in v1 (Azure Service Management), when you create a VM, you automatically get a cloud service if you don't have one already - which is why new-azurevm is being used in cloud service context.

I have an existing Azure Kubernetes Cluster and I'm having a look at Azure Container Apps to see if it could be a good move for me.
With AKS, I'm heavily using Managed Identity for management tasks and also using pod-identity to allow applications to connect to other azure resources without storing credentials.
I tried to find some related documentation for Azure Conter Apps but didn't find anything ? Is it something that is not documented, not supported at the moment ?
Since Container Apps went GA, it is now available: Managed identities in Azure Container Apps.
both system-assigned and user-assigned are available.
I have created 1 node.js and 1 java Azure Function, using VS Code
When I have deployed just these 2 functions to Azure using VS Code, I ended up with this many Azure resources (see the picture below).
Is there a way to re-use the same resource type (i.e. App Service, Storage Account, etc..) to host multiple Azure Functions?
Absolutely, we do this all the time. We usually create resources in the portal by hand the first time and later use deployment scripts (msdeploy or Powershell) to update the resources.
When you create a new Function App in the portal, you can tell Azure to put the new Function App in an existing App Service Plan and also set it to use existing storage:
You can also do this using Azure CLI if you are a CLI guy.
My understanding so far on PaaS deployment using WebRoles or Worker Roles-
Spinning Web roles or Worker roles will create Cloud service to manage it.
However, in ARM resource group, their is no concept of Cloud service, then how are web & worker roles managed in ARM resource group?
Also I tried adding the webroles via JSON Outline in VS 2015, but no option to add webroles. So not sure if you can deploy webroles via JSON template?
Any information will be of great help.
Cloud Services have been around since the beginning of Azure.
To the deploy or manage them, you have to use the old APIs (Azure Service Management).
As far as I know, they won't be migrated to the new APIs (Azure Resource Manager), but you could use Virtual Machine Scale Sets instead.
Azure Resource Manager Web apps rely on the concept of App Service Plans, rather than cloud services. Basically this is the underlying VM(s) that the service runs on. You can specify the size and number of servers that make up the App Service plan, and then deploy on to those as a single unit.
You create an App service plan, then run web / worker roles inside that (as well as Logic, API, Functions)
As far as Web / Worker roles are concerned, App Service Plans do not draw a distinction between the two. You simply deploy code to it and it will run it however it is packaged. See here
The concept of cloud services simply don't exist within the Azure Resource Management model.
You can find a template for deploying a Web App here
We are using Azure Automation DSC and were able to do simple things like create Automation account, create Resource group, VM creation and even able to deploy a web site on the target VM. All using powershell scripting.
How can we deploy Azure Cloud Services (web role / worker role)? what are the cmdlets? Any pointers? Please help.
What more things can be achieved using this? Moreover what limitations we can expect here.
Best Regards
Azure DSC is really focused on Azure's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. Basically you can configure virtual servers (Windows and Linux) hosted on Azure.
To manage configurations for other services in Azure it is recommended to utilize Azure Resource Manager (ARM) which will allow you to define and configure Azure services in JSON.
Microsoft offers a lot of Quick Start ARM templates that can be accessed at the Azure Quickstart site.
I deployed an Azure Worker Role running OWIN into a Cloud Service for very fast HTTP serving. The Cloud Service exists in the "classic" environment at manage.windowsazure.com.
I would like to deploy the same lightweight application using the new ARM bits so it can be fully managed at portal.azure.com. I don't want to use a Web Application because that includes IIS.
What is the correct Platform-as-a-Service object to use in the ARM and the new portal that gives the same performance as an old Cloud Service Worker Role?
Thanks.
There isn't a Platform-as-a-Service object to use for this in ARM. Some Infrastructure-as-a-Service options are:
Create a regular Windows Azure Resource Manager VM in the new portal and set it up as an OWIN host.
Create an Azure Resource Manager template to deploy an OWIN host to a VM or a VM Scale Set. The template would use the custom script extension and/or DSC to do the setup. This would be a good re-usable solution, but someone would need to write the template for the first time.
The lightest weight solution would be to have the server running in a Docker container on Windows. You could then choose use the VM for other purposes running in other containers or purely as a container host. Note this only runs on only runs on Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 3. See http://anthonychu.ca/post/web-api-owin-self-host-docker-windows-containers/
Edit -
Note that Service Fabric is the recommended PaaS solution in Azure Resource Manager. It is not a direct equivalent of PaaS v1 but a rich service for developing micro-service based applications: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/services/service-fabric/
Not sure what you mean by V2 (new portal? ARM?). The portal is an independent tool, so I'm guessing you mean ARM. ARM doesn't support Cloud Service deployments currently, but you can still deploy either from Visual Studio (using the same interface you've used in the past, in visual studio) or from the portal, as a "classic" resource (which, underneath, uses the classic Azure management API).
In the portal, you'll find Cloud service (classic):
Now you can add a new cloud service:
