I have a few sites that are running in the Azure Web Sites (North Europe region) at the moment, over the last 12 or so hours I have noticed some really poor performance, anyone seeing the same thing at the moment?
There is nothing logged in the Azure Service Dashboard for service degradation or outage. Perhaps you may raise a support ticket with Azure here to see whats wrong...

We are using Azure Service Bus in the West Europe region.
When I looked in our metrics to investigate a duplicating issue, I noticed that we have a high amount of "server errors". It's nearly 50% of the requests it seems.
Now there is not a lot of information regarding the meaning of server errors by Microsoft, other than saying it's "internal service bus errors" (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-bus-messaging/service-bus-metrics-azure-monitor)
My Question:
Do I have to be concerned? Can I still rely on Service Bus in West Europe currently (there were some issues the last month in this region with Service Bus).
What does it mean and how can I solve it?
Thx in advance
I have an MVC based web app running on Azure. The CPU performance of it has been very predictable over the past five months. However, over the past 24 hours, and most recently, from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm Eastern time, today, in the USA, I have had CPU spikes nearing 100%. The image below, which is for the past 7 days shows this.
This CPU spike is not coming from my app or my users. There has not been an abnormal increase in users, user activity or queries. I also checked Google Analytics to see if perhaps my site was getting hammered by random users etc. It showed nothing out of the ordinary.
There also was a corresponding huge jump in data going out of my site, which is highly unusual. The second image shows data egress for the past week. However, as I said, I checked my Azure SQL Database Query Store and it shows absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Furthermore, my DTU percentage never even neared 100% during this time, which it certainly would have if this much data was pulled from the database.
I have basically ruled out anything amiss on my end. Is there some way I can check to see if there were issues with Azure causing this?
If you are suspecting an underlying Azure platform issue, both Azure Service Health and Azure Resource Health are useful resources to determine if you are being impacted by platform issue.
Azure Service Health provides personalized service health information when Azure platform issues impact your resources.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-health/service-health-overview
Azure Resource Health provides visibility into whether your Azure resources are healthy or unhealthy.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-health/resource-health-overview
For a list of supported Azure resources, you can refer to this article which also describes the set of health checks being performed.

I'm following the next tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-twitter-email. I had some problems with connecting to Twitter in Chrome, switched to Edge and was able to make the connection.
However for the sentiment analysis, created earlier in the tutorial, I'm constantly getting, in both browsers, the messages
Please check your account info and/or permissions and try again.
I thought first that it would take a while before the service would kick in gear so I took the same Key1 and went to the API overview from where people can test the service after providing the key. And that worked.
So I'm wondering on how to continue or how to solve the connection problem as the analysis service key works out.
As the time of writing this answer only cognitive accounts deployed into West US region are supported with the logic apps connector. However we are aware that cognitive services recently rolled out a number of new regions for text analytics, and are currently deploying the fix to support other regions. By the end of this week any region should be supported. For now, the workaround is likely best approach (deploy a West US-based cognitive service account).
I had the same issue when trying to login with Chrome.
Edge resolved this case and my resources are deployed in North Europe.
I had the same issue
Please check your account info and/or permissions and try again+text analytics+logic app
when trying establish connection with Text Analytics Cognitive Service from Logic Apps.
I had deleted Text Analytics API and Recreated in Wets US Region and its working fine.
I have got two database (SQL azure) in North America, I'm getting error that the applications can't Access to the server.
I didn't update the application or database, so I supose that there are a problem with sql azure service. How can I notify Microsoft of this problem?
To 'notify' Microsoft, you have very limited options.
They have their own support forums.
They have their own support ticketing system, that costs a pretty penny but is the fastest way to get their attention.
They have their dashboard, which in my own experience is terrible. It is not a true representation, ever. The updates are very very late.
You also have StackOverflow - but there will be little that we can advise on if there is a problem on the Azure infrastructure side of life.
To help aid in your Azure support woes, I would suggest you get an account with Pingdom and get MetricHubs for your subscription. These will help in showing what goes down, when, how often, and for how long. It can help show if the problem really is in your application or not.
I would also ensure you have diagnostics set up, and log everything you can.
Many many people forget or don't know about the transient error problems. Microsoft have a huge article on it, but it does trip people up a lot.
The Azure Management Portal should also be able to give you a quick summary of if your roles & instances are actually up, healthy and stable.
I've built my application in .net and SQL Server 2008.
Having looking for a hosting solution I stumbled upon windows azure.
I saw that currently its only available in the US.
Can I use the service if I live outside of the US?
If I upload my website up there and people try entering, will people from outside of the US be blocked?
Sorry for posting an unrelated program question. I am not receiving an answer anywhere else, and I can see that there are several questions regarding azure which are not program related here.
Windows Azure has a data center hosted in northern europe. Your users won't be blocked no matter where it is hosted. See this link for status and locations.
We have an Azure hosted application in the US. One of our developers is in Pakistan. He has no issues developing against our Azure Table Storage there or using the application. Also, he is impressed with the overall speed of the application compared to other web applications he uses which are hosted locally and in the US.
Obviously an app hosted in the same region would be quicker all things being equal. However, we have been really happy with the "quality" of the service from Azure and overall it probably offers better performance even outside the region than a poorly managed shared hosting environment. Also, you can change the region where your Azure app is hosted. So, over time, as new regions are added you can migrate your app to that region.
Nope it won't be blocked. But, it would be more sluggish due to latency compared to the locally hosted applications. Also, if you are in EU you might want to check the data protection act. It is illegal to store some private data concerning EU citizens on the US based servers.
