When adding New Relic through the Windows Azure Add On Store I always get the following message on step 2 which prevents me from adding it:
We cannot provide a billing estimate at this time. Please try again later. If this error persists, contact support with the following information.
(The market on the billing account does not match the market on the user account (DM - ActivityId = xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx))
I would like some help to understand:
1) Why this might be happening?
2) Whether I need to add it in this way or can I simply sign up directly to New Relic, add the component to my Azure Website/Cloud Service via Nuget and configure it with my New Relic key?
Go with option 2 and bypass the marketplace. New Relic integration with the Azure Marketplace is not very good — it is difficult to modify the subscription or administer accounts. One of the biggest problems is that the support link doesn't work, which means that you can wait days for a response because they cannot associate a support ticket with a paying customer.
Signing up directly with New Relic, and not through the store, is technically simple — all you need is the New Relic key.
The pricing from the Azure store is cheaper than that published on the New Relic site. I explained to them the problems with their Azure marketplace integration and they were gracious enough to match the Azure marketplace pricing.

Is there a way to programmatically configure Azure Cloud Shell without having to launch it and have it create a new storage account and file share (or go manually configure it to use existing resources)?
I'd like to be able to have an Azure CLI script (or Terraform) create the storage account and file share for me and have Azure Cloud Shell detect these resources and use them so when the Cloud Shell button is clicked there is not configuration needed.
This is needed whenever a new account is created or the resource group that contains the Cloud Shell storage account is deleted.
I believe currently feature to programmatically configure Cloud Shell to detect and select particular storage account and file share is not supported. So I would recommend you to raise this as a feature request in this Uservoice or feedback forum.
However, IF the actual use case and requirement is - " to access the Cloud Shell (https://shell.azure.com/) without configuration need or at least by configuring only one time per subscription (that may be done manually)", THEN this is the feature request for the same which is already raised in Uservoice or feedback forum. So if interested, I recommend you to upvote it and other features that are of interest.
In general, Azure feature or product team would check feasibility of a feature request, triage it, prioritize against existing feature backlog, add in roadmap as appropriate and would announce and/or update the related Azure document once a feature request is addressed.
I would like to submit an offering to the Azure Marketplace but I want the offering to be a trial version only. So, the user will have access to it for a certain period only and it will be free.
The offering I want to submit is a VM offering and right now I have an image of the VM ready.
I did not find much information on how can I achieve this or whether it is possible to only submit the trial version on Azure marketplace.
If you want to create a trial version VM offer, please set License Model as "Usage-based monthly billed SKU" in SKU tab when you create offer. For more details, please refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace/cloud-partner-portal/virtual-machine/cpp-skus-tab.

I'm developing Azure DevOps extension. When client download extension he can register in Azure Hub then his account is added to my database.
When the client delete extension his account should also be removed from my database.
How can I add process for Azure DevOps extension that can be triggered on uninstall / remove extension?
I don't think there is an API for this, but you can see uninstalls here in the Marketplace portal. I guess you could poll this, or figure out the underlying API that's being used. any integration against these APIs is unsupported.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/manage/publishers/{PublisherID}/extensions/{ExtensionID}/hub?_a=uninstall
Also, remember that for troubleshooting purposes people uninstall/reinstall extensions and they may need to reinstall as part of migration/upgrade scenarios for which their assumption is likely going to be that no data is lost in the progress.
It's probably best to ask for contact details, upon registration, monitor usage and warn that data will be removed after X days of no usage.
I wanted to create a "Redis Cloud" via the Azure marketplace but I didn't found this service in the marketplace list.
Doesn't it exist anymore? Why?
Or is there some kind of limitation, e.g. it's only available for certain types of Azure subscriptions?
I'm wondering because via redislabs.com I can still choose "Azure" for creating a Redis Cloud - but not via Azure marketplace.
Sadly, you are right Munchkin.
I've looked into the matter and it appears that our Redis Cloud plugin is stuck in limbo between the old and new portals. This is an Azure team issue and we're waiting for a resolution from them.
Until this is rectified, note that you can always create a direct subscription via our website however and do feel free to contact our support team with any questions.
You can find it in the "New Portal" Azure Marketplace, http://portal.azure.com. There you should be able to find it listed as "Redis Cache" or Redis Cloud, first one is Managed by Microsoft, the second one is IaaS on a VM.
I maintain a family web site on Azure on my spare time. For a small fee, we have purchased a custom domain name to make it more "professional".
Unfortunately, the credit card associated with the susbscription has expired and since I was not actively monitoring the dedicated mail account I had created for this purpose, the susbscription has now been deleted (the susbscription is actually disabled in the portal, but the mail from Azure says that I need to create a new subscription if I want to change my mind).
In a matter of minutes, I registered a new subscription and thanks to continuous deployment, I could deploy the Web App from sources that I had kept on a GitHub account. However, an attempt to bring an external domain to the Web App fails with the reason being that the said domain is already in use by another Azure web site (presumably, the old Web App from the, now deleted, subscription)
A quick chat with the #AzureSupport team on Twitter, they suggested I file a support request from the Azure portal. However, since this is not a professionnal susbscription, I do not have a support plan. I see that support costs 25 $/month for at least 6 months in my situation.
This seems a bit too costly, like an order of magnitude higher than buying a new domain name for several years. At the same time, I don't understand why the deleted account is still locking the custom domain name. And it seems unfair that I need to pay to recover a domain name that I own but am unable to benefit from because it is associated with a Web App in a disabled Azure subscription!
Please, what are my options?
PS: Even though this is not a programmatic question, I post here because that's where Microsoft recommends to obtain community support. I have also posted a similar question on an appropriate MSDN Forum but the answers there are not satisfying.
Unfortunately on a technical level this will be something that can only be rectified by Azure support. Since you no longer have access to the account they will need to delete that domain association.
It is excessive that you are required to pay for a six month support contract to resolve an issue that is clearly an issue with the way Azure decommissions subscriptions.
The problem you now have is that you can't use Azure to host this domain until that association is removed. Your only options are to either have the complexity of using a VM or to move your site to AWS etc.
If you make those points to #AzureSupport team, maybe they will process it for you. Point them to this question and ask them to help you to keep using Azure.
