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.

The SLA states For each Protected Instance configured for Azure-to-Azure Failover, we guarantee a two-hour Recovery Time Objective
I then read something contradictory on a Microsoft blog - From a design perspective it is nearly impossible to guarantee specific RPOs and RTOs for these type of solutions because many variables are outside of your control..When designing for RTO it is important to understand the variables that are not always in your control. For example, if someone initiates a restore, the time it takes to be back up and running is dependent on variables like the size of the restore, available network bandwidth, speed of the disk drives/VMs, etc.
Can any service (not just ASR) guarantee specific RPOs and RTOs?
For the supported configurations mentioned in the link ,ASR guarantees 2 hour recovery. However, there are some limitations where specified SLA is not applicable.Here are the limitations .

I want to store application exception logs, which option is better app insights or table storage.
Based on the minimal amount of information you're providing:
Application Insights is the more mature solution. You get lots of stuff you would have to build yourself for Exception data in Table Storage. This includes stuff like reporting, trends, correlation, alerting and whatnot.
Have a look over here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-insights/app-insights-asp-net-exceptions.
The document is about a web application, but you can store information from all types of applications in Azure. For this, also see TelemetryClient.TrackException

I'm currently unable to create a small dedicated website. I'm getting this error:
Not enough available reserved instance servers to satisfy this request.
Anyone from Azure able to comment on when we can expect this size to be available in the US West region?
You might want to post this on Azure Forum - http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/forums/
Usually Azure doesn't provide any time estimates for resource availability.
Consider deploying to a different DC, latency difference may not be much different.

Few minutes ago 3 DB on one SQLAzure sever disappeared and the management console tell me that there are problems to retrieve information about the databases on specific SQL Server of West Europe region.
In the "Support" section we are not able to send a tecnical question, only billing question.
But this is NOT a QUESTION, this is a SIGNAL !!!! (Microsoft is becoming a wall of gum?)
Any one have any way to inform MS that theirs 99.95% up-time services are off???
Many thanks in advance.
Have nice week-end.
Davide.
If you don't see a "Technical" option in the drop down on the support form you'll likely see below the form something that says "Your Support Plan: Free - billing support only
Your current plan does not include technical support from Microsoft.". This means that you haven't purchased support, which comes with the web incident submittal. It will also have a link to the following page https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/plans/, which describes the support levels.
Sadly, at the free support level there doesn't even seem to be a way to tell them that something seems wrong other than to post to the forums. If you are a MSDN Subscriber there is a link on that same support forum that leads you off to a different form which I believe will start an online chat.
In addition the service dashboard gets updated when issues are discovered and they have information to post. Just because something isn't showing up yet doesn't mean that they aren't aware of an issue.

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.
