azure - linux virtual machine stuck at "stopping" - azure

i have been experimenting with azure services using my msdn account. i created a suse enterprise linux virtual machine. deployed sonar+mysql and a few simple java applications. everything was fine for almost a month, until last weekend. i tried to connect via ssh and could not get a response. i tried accessing the sonar website, again no response. i used the axure portal to restart the vm, it seemed to restart but still no response. i used the azure portal to stop the service. its status has been at "stopping" for several days. any thoughts about what i can do to regain connectivity?

It is very much possible that something in your virtual machine had caused this issue and your best bet is to report this problem to following dedicated forum realted with Windows Azure Linux Virtual Machine so you will get proper assistance to troubleshoot your problem:

Unable to connect to a cloud service after publishing via visual studio

I am trying to run this sample: The documentation states that I need to publish the solution. This works and visual studio reports success. However, the cloud service site URL is unreachable. I don't know if this is because the application doesn't work or the machine is unreachable due to some security configuration. RDP to cloud service also fails. How do I figure out the security configuration associated with this cloud service?
Apparently this is a Windows 7 issue. RDP from a windows 10 machine works. Windows 7 EOL is still at least a year away though.

Azure - I keep losing RDP connectivity to my VMs every now and then

I've been evaluating Azure for a couple months. I'm using it via my MSDN subscription. The intention is to determine if my development team should migrate from VMWare to Azure machines.
I managed to setup multiple VMs and work on them successfully. I tend to shut down all VMs as often as I can in order to not use up my monthly resource allowance.
Very often I lose RDP connectivity to all my VMs. Sometimes it helps to resize the VM but not always. I've tried all steps included on the link below, for instance.
What I am missing?

Thx guys (and sorry). It was indeed due to network issues (DNS fails on my home internet provider from time to time).

Unable to connect to Azure Virtual Machine

I created a virtual machine using an Ubuntu image with Discourse preloaded from the Azure gallery. After the automatic setup completed, I can see that the VM is running but I can't connect to it in order to view the machine remotely. I don't see any setting that can resolve this for me. Does anyone know what is happening?
You should use a client like Bitvise SSH Client, which is recommended by Microsoft, to perform tasks on your ubuntu VM.

Services down after implementing High Availability on Windows Azure

After trying to implement High Availability to one of the existing servers following this article
https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-capture-image-windows-server/
After I was done the newly created machine is running, however I cannot RDP or PING any of the services that are running on the server existing. It shows that the VM is running
Has anyone faced such a problem before ?
In case this unexpected issue happens. The workaround is to create an XSmall VM and RDP to the VM that is not responding through internal IP. This should get it to start.

Access internet on Azure VM

Recentely, I deploy a worker role that it will connect to internet and attemp to access some websites (For example: http://somewebsite.redmond.corp.microsoft.com/en-us/library/).
It successfully access the websites on my development machine running on emulator. But on the Azure virual machine that I deploy my worker role to, it is not able to access the websites. I try to open the websites on VM browering in IE, it is also not able to.
Have u emcounter similar issues? How do u deal with it?
This has nothing to do with accessing the Internet. The URL you provided isn't publicly visible (at least I can't access it from my machine). This means you're attempting to visit a URL behind a firewall, possibly requiring a VPN to access.
Windows Azure VM's, whether worker roles, web roles, or Virtual Machines, are in a public cloud and not behind any firewall. If you wanted to access it from a Windows Azure VM, you'd need to set up a Virtual Network, introduced in the Spring 2012 update. More information here.
Try using Elevated premissions for this. Once,I tried to access internet through RDP of a Role, It was working at that time hence it should be possible for you to access internet. But if are trying to download exes and execute, I Think that isn't possible.Please post you Results here.
Regards,
Vijay.
