All, I had deployed a website in Windows Azure which I can upload and download file from it, the file is stored in the Windows Azure Storage Blob. And I note in the free mode the max outbound data per day is 165 MB, and inbound data is unlimited as Price detail mentioned. So I want to know what happen to the website if the amount of outbound data exceed the 165MB. Because the max size of file which is upload or download in my website will be lager than 200MB. I didn't see any price detail about this situation. and also worry about if the website can works well in this situation. Thanks
the free site will stop working if the size is exceeded. If you need that much you may want to consider the Shared option for ~10$ a month during preview. The Shared option will not throttle you when you exceed 165MB, you will just be charged for what you consume.

I have one website with below configurations:
2 Web Servers with Load Balance enabled (Each Server having - OS: Linux, Storage: 30GB [20% Used] and RAM: 10GB [44% Used])
1 Database Servers (Storage: 30GB [20% Used] and RAM: 10GB [44% Used])
And with current configuration its able to handle 5000 concurrent users without any problem but in future more users (1000 to 1500) are supposed to access the website.
So to handle more user volume I figured out two options:
Increase capacity of current infrastructure by 25%
Add new web server same as current capacity
But I'm little bit confused about what is the difference between point# 1 and point# 2 irrespective of the cost.
Points #1 & #2 represent Vertical & Horizontal scaling of resources respectively.
Vertical scaling (Increasing of resources) is useful whenever your application needs more computing resources to process the request - Mostly used while running resource-intensive workloads.
Horizontal scaling (Adding identical servers) is useful for handling more requests because requests are distributed across available servers also this will be useful for the High Availability (HA) setup.

The documentation I see says that there can be "Many" tables in one storage account.
Does anyone actually know the limit?
There's no limit on the number of tables you can create in one storage account. The limit comes in terms of a storage account size. A single Windows Azure storage account can hold 200 TB of data. As long as you're under that size limit, you'll be good.

today my site WAS SUSPENDED because out of memory (I am in the SHARED mode - Trial period). So, I had to wait almost a hour to see my site work again.
But a site should never be down and never for such a long time.
Moreover, I have very low traffic (and the lack of memory surprised me a lot) in this first stage. When I went out of memory, I immediately scaled my resources. First of all, I tried to add an instance (passing to 2) but the memory was still 512MB and i was not able to see any change in the resource allocated. So, i passed to reserved but it was still SUSPENDED.
Question: is it possible to remain in the shared mode and increase the resources? Why if i add instances i cannot see any difference to my resources (showed in the dashboard)? How can i be notified if my site is down?
Increasing website instance does not increase resources. It only increases the number of load balanced copies of your website. Resources are not shared across instances. If you are doing extensive caching, then you probably need to move to a Cloud Service Web Role.
Websites are extremely limited. They are for the most basic of sites. If your site is exceeding 512mb of memory with low usage, and you want to stay on Azure websites, then you need to do some profiling and see what in your app is eating up resources.

We have been using S3 for storing images and PDFs for our web application for some time. When we first coded our web application, the error rate on S3 GETs was fairly high (~1% on first attempt) and we built in retry semantics in our client code. That is, the client would attempt an S3 image download and on failure it would retry several more times.
My question:
Is the S3 Get error rate still high enough to require GET retries (lets say > 0.1%)? Note: I am not concerned about whole S3 data center down times; that is a separate problem. Any analytics regarding this topic would help a lot (e.g. error rate per resource size).
We are getting slightly higher failure rates than that using Amazon's SDK libraries. I estimate our failure rates at about 5%. I find it hard to believe that a service that bad is the defacto standard for cloud storage. That is a sad state of affairs.

How can we find out how much money we are saving by scaling (via increasing and decreasing instance) our Windows Azure application?
Also, is there a way to find out how much database storage is used and its cost, and how much bandwidth is used and its cost?
I don't believe there is currently any way to measure in an immediate way how your Windows Azure application changes affect your billing and usage. There is, however, a feature request for a billing/usage API you could vote on.
SQL Azure includes two system views that can detail your storage and bandwidth usage.
The sys.database_usage view lists the number, type, and duration of
databases on the server and the sys.bandwidth_usage view describes the
bandwidth used with each database.
The above was excerpted from this article.
