Frequent platform-initiated VM redeployments (v6) in North Europe – host OS / firmware issues
Hi everyone, We’ve been experiencing recurring platform-initiated redeployments on Azure VMs (v6 series) in the North Europe region and wanted to check if others are seeing something similar. Around two to three times per week, one of our virtual machines becomes unavailable and is automatically redeployed by the Azure platform. The Service Health notifications usually mention that the host OS became unresponsive and that there is a low-level issue between the host operating system and firmware. The VM is then started on a different host as part of the auto-recovery process. There is no corresponding public Azure Status incident for North Europe when this occurs. From the guest OS perspective, there are no warning signs beforehand such as high CPU or memory usage, kernel errors, or planned maintenance events. This behavior looks like a host or hardware stamp issue, but the frequency is concerning. Has anyone else running v6 virtual machines in North Europe observed similar unplanned redeployments? Has Microsoft shared any statements or acknowledgements regarding ongoing host or firmware stability issues for this region or SKU? If you worked with Azure Support on this, were you told this was cluster-specific or related to a particular hardware stamp? We are already engaging Azure Support, but I wanted to check whether this is an isolated case or something others are also encountering. Thanks in advance for any insights or shared experiences.
"Your credentials did not work" AVD Azure AD joined
I'm trying to test AVD Azure AD-joined only. I've met all the requirements here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/deploy-azure-ad-joined-vm. The PC I'm connecting from is running Windows 10 21H2 and is Azure AD registered to the same AAD as the AVD VM. I've enabled PKU2U on both the local PC and AVD VM, and tried it both with and without targetisaadjoined:i:1 in the host pool config. When I try to log in via the Remote Desktop Client (the MSI one, not Store), I enter my UPN prefixed by AzureAD\ as required. I always get "Your credentials did not work". The web client doesn't work either. The security log on the AVD VM shows ID 4625 - "Unknown user name or bad password." I can log in without any issues to the same AVD VM from a PC that is Azure AD-joined and using Windows Hello for Business, so I know AVD works. The only thing I'm not sure of is MFA. My account has MFA enabled, but from what I understand that should not be an issue as I'm not using the legacy per-user MFA that the article says isn't supported.Ubuntu as session host
Hi all, I understand there is no native solution for running an ubuntu vm as a session host. I didn't find any image in the marketplace for this. I found this https://github.com/microsoft/LinuxBrokerForAVDAccess that proposes a solution. Does anyone actually uses this or any other solutions? Thanks in advance
Container Apps Environment Networking (Consumption)
AI workloads are no longer just about models, they’re about how those models connect. On Azure, many teams are running inference APIs, background processors, and event-driven AI components on Azure Container Apps Environments (CAE). CAE fits AI workloads well: it scales fast, scales to zero, and removes Kubernetes overhead. But once AI services need to securely reach private data sources, on-prem systems, vector databases, or external AI services, networking becomes the real design challenge. I’ve written a short, practical deep dive on how Consumption-based vs Workload-profile Container Environments behave from a networking perspective, what works, what doesn’t, and why it matters for modern AI platforms. 👉 Read the full article here: https://vakhsha.com/blog.html?post=blog-06
Issue with gMSA when installing Cloud Sync
We are trying to install Cloud Sync to make use of the group writeback. However, we get the same error message every time we try to complete the installation We already tried: created a new sync server from scratch test the service account with "test-ADServiceAccount" check the encryption settings of the GMSA (the account is being created in the AD) removed an old orphaned GC tried it with a custom GMSA (same error) gave the server access to the GMSA via set-ADServiceAccount Did anyone else ever had this problem or know how to fix it?Failed to send, wrong host address or cannot reach address due to network issues

Openmetrics on Azure observability
Team, I am trying to connect a couple of openmetrics endpoints to Azure Monitor allthough it does not seem to support out of the box, I am overseeing the documentation? is there a easy way to connect openmetrics endpoint ? It seems it might be able to connect the openmetrics endpoints if I deploy Azure Monitor managed service for Prometheus, but its not clear.pullout data from event hub to a linux platform
We have a project to read some api interrogation and feed them to our db on a linux platform. The aim of the whole project it to interact with an IOT. The rest api have been developped on third party azure platform. We can query the api from the linux shell by "curl -x post...." command but to be able to read the answer, we need to go through the "event hub" of azure. This is not the most convenient way for us to get the info and feed them to our system. Is there any way to fetch this info directly in our linux server?Unable to delete Foundry Agent identity Entra app in Azure

Hello folks, I'm trying to find a "good" way to achieve what I think is a simple task but cannot think of a simple solution. I have logs with session information, one entry per session StartTime(datetime), EndTime(datetime), Duration(in seconds), Computer(string) I want to count how many sessions are active for each 5 minute interval and graph that. Keep in mind, the sessions will overlap. I included a graphic of what I'm trying to do. With the result below Which should return: Time + 5, 1 Time + 10, 3 Time + 15, 3 Time + 20, 2
Status of uploading file
Hi, is it possible to get status of uploading file from blob storage? I have a case when user A is uploading large file to storage via SAS to myContainer/uploadingBlob. My server has information that someone wants to upload there but there is no way to directly tell that user is actually uploading anything there. Is it possible to get that information from storage? What if user cancels the upload?
Azure Static Web App CI/CD
Hi everyone! I know this is a silly question, but I want to ask why, after connecting my Azure Static Web App to my GitHub and it would connect the Git Workflow, the commit would fail. Although, I haven't finished setting up some other resources yet, and I just connected my StatWebApp URL to my Azure Maps, there are other resources that I still need to deploy, and I still need to properly wire the backend to my Azure AI Services. Thanks in advance!Enable Performance Plus for Azure Disk Storage
We want to take advantage of this additional perfromance and wanted to see if it's GA (General Availibility) ? I see that, it's been almost 1 year since introducing of this feature but still in public preview. We want to enable this for our production workload. Do we need to wait for GA or can we go-ahead with it. Need your gudiance at the earliest.

Do you have any clue what could be the reason?? It seems local @firewall has an issue or routing issue?? Thankyou in advanceApp Service restore backup to a different database
App[ Service restore functionality on the portal allows restoring to different target slot/app service. However the database (if it's included in the restore) can only be restored to the original database (overwrite). I talked to Microsoft support and they confirmed that this is by design but I doesn't make sense to allow changing the target for the site but not the database.
