No Basic/Standard/Premium options for SQL Azure database - azure

I am willing to switch to new Standard SQL Azure database tier, but there is just no such option in my Azure Portal. I have only the option between Web and Business. What is the problem?

Could it be because these services are still in Preview mode and you have not enabled this in your subscription. I'm also seeing the same behavior in my subscription. To enable this, please visit https://account.windowsazure.com/PreviewFeatures and click on try it now button next to New Service Tiers for SQL Databases.

Do not see Access Key on Azure for Power Bi Workspace

I am trying to create a PowerBi Embedded application on Azure Portal. I successfully created one but I am not able to see the Access Key in the list of options.
I followed the above documentation.link
I have a Visual Studio Enterprise – MPN subscription. Hope that wasn't the reason.
Also I couldn't find the settings icon also.
Help is appreciated .Thanks
Why have you created a "Power BI Embedded"-service in Azure? I dont see anything mentioning that in the guide to supplied.
"Power BI Embedded" in azure is deprecated, instead you should register an app accouring to the Register with the Azure portal-step:
In the left-hand navigation pane, choose More Services, select App
Registrations under Security + Identity and select New application
registration.

manage.windowsazure.com vs. portal.azure.com

What is the difference between these two portals and why? And when should I use which of them?
For example:
When I want to configure if/which Java version I want to use in a WebApp, in the "manage"-portal I only can choose between off and v1.7.0_51. In the "portal"-portal I can choose between off, v7 and v8.
Or, if I want to create a new Ubuntu-VM, in the "manage"-portal I can choose between v12.04, v14.04 and v15.04. In the "portal"-portal there is only v14.04.
As commented by Mike, manage.windowsazure.com is the current production Azure Portal while portal.azure.com is the preview portal which will eventually replace the production portal.
From an underlying technology perspective, there's one big difference between the production and preview portal. Production portal makes use of Azure Service Management API while the Preview portal makes use of Azure Resource Manager (ARM). Along with ARM API, you get Role-based access control (RBAC) that enables you to grant granular permissions on your Azure resources to your team members. In the production portal, there's only a concept of Subscription Administrator and Subscription Co-Administrator.
Not all services in Azure has been ported to make use of ARM API as of today and that's why you see only few services in the preview portal. Services that make use of ARM API (all the new services) will only show up the preview portal.
As to when to use what portal, just see the Azure services you need to manage. Based on how they can be managed, you will choose between production and preview portal. Also please note that functionality for a service may differ between portals even though it is present in both portals. That may be another criteria between choosing the portal.

Enabling monitoring in azure cloud service

I want to monitor a cloud service in azure portal . When I go to the azure portal , I get the message as "LEVELThis setting is not currently available." under monitoring tab.
Then I learnt from the msdn that , right click on web role in visual studio and check the "enable diagnostics" checkbox.
Then I redeployed the application azure portal .
Still the monitoring option is not configurable. What could be the issue ? What am I missing here?
For Storage you can enable monitoring and logging from within the respective tabs within the Storage configuration pages of the portal.

Unable to find option to create a CDN in the new Azure portal

I'm trying to create an Azure CDN and cannot find the option to do in the new Azure portal.
According to other sources, there is supposed to be a CDN option under the New -> App Services menu like so:
But when I log into the portal, this CDN option is missing. This is what I see:
Does this have anything to do with my subscription? I'm using a "3-month Free Trial".
Updating to include a screen shot of my left pane options. No CDN!
I finally have the answer why the CDN menu option doesn't appear.
The following from Windows Azure Technical support:
"We’re in the process of building out our next generation Windows Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) architecture, and during this time we are no longer accepting new CDN customers.
With the CDN functionality having recently transitioned to the new Azure management portal, we have enabled it automatically only for customers who were using CDN in the old management portal, so they can continue to manage their CDN configurations. For everyone else, the CDN feature is not enabled in the new portal.
We highly encourage you to wait until we’re ready building our next generation Azure CDN service."
Should be on the left menu - but then this is an enterprise account: and just confirmed there is no CDN option on my personal account - hmmmm...
Good morning
As far as I know their is no 'Enterprise' account, I have multiple logins ranging from MSDN, partners etc and all have the same features. The only difference is when you register for preview services.
On the left hand side in the new portal (light blue bar ) you should see the following items -
All Items
Web Sites
Virtual Machines
Mobile Servces
Cloud Services
SQL Databases
Storage
HDInsight
Media Services
Service Bus
Cache
Recover Services
SQL Reporting
CDN *************
Networks
Traffic Manager
Management Services
Active Directory
Add-Ons
Do you see the same, can you see CDN highlighted above

Where is the Windows Azure SQL Reporting Portal?

According to the MSDN documentation for Windows Azure SQL Reporting Services, the reporting portal is supposed to be accessible from the main Azure portal:
The Windows Azure Management Portal includes portals for Windows Azure SQL Database, SQL Reporting and other services available on Windows Azure. From the portal home page, click Reporting to launch the SQL Reporting management portal
This seems to be referring to the old Azure portal. At any rate, my portal doesn't have such a link. All I see are
web sites
vitual machines
cloud services
sql databases
storage
networks
service bus
media services
active directory
add-ons
settings
I've used the search feature to search the Azure portal, checked out my SQL Azure database server configuration, and generally poked around for quite a while but I can't find any way to get to the reporting portal. How can get there and/or activate this feature?
Windows Azure portal currently uses new HTML version. You have to switch to old Silverlight version.
To go back to the old portal, you have to click on your account (top right) and click on "Previous Portal"
EDIT
Previous portal option is no longer there. Windows Azure are preparing brand new portal. Similarly to the current one, it will be using HTML5 and JavaScript - not Silverlight technology.
