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
Hi, we are using application insight agent 3.0.2 . Created a custom availability test using application insight and powershell.

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?

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.

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.Can I merge the ADF_Publish branch to a different branch ?
We are designing a branching strategy for an data application which uses ADF and Data Brick . Question is if one can merge the ADF_publish branch to the release branch and then from the release branch run the deployment . Is it possible or we must use default created ADF_Publish branch .Character limits of default value in DevOps Multiple Lines field
Hi Developers, I intend to use multiple lines field as a text box, in which I can embed hyperlinks with <a> tag and plain text into. However, I found the default value of multi-line field has a character limitation. I am wondering what the specific character limit of default value is and if there is an alternative approach to embed hyperlink which can be clicked by users directly. Thanks a lot
Deny public access for PostgreSQL.
Hello All, I have a postgreSQL single server on Azure, and as part of security best practice, I want to deny public access over that server. But the problem is that when I deny public access, I cannot access it the database through "pgadmin" nor can the APIs of the applications so, the applications also do not work. Fortunately, I'm able to solve the problem of me not able to access the server by the configuration of P2S-VPN and private endpoint and I was successful. However, the APIs still cannot access the database. After escalating this matter to technical support I learned that APIs access the server through the Internet NOT through MS Private network, and therefore, when public access is denied, they won't work since all access from the Internet is denied. Currently, I'm waiting for technical support for more than 45 days now for a meeting with MS devops technical support engineer, but they seem to be very busy and we cannot schedule. Finally, I have been spending some time over this matter. and this is significant for me to be done. I'm wondering, is there a way that I can deny public access yet still enable the applications to access the database??? And if yes, how so??? I really appreciate your help. Regards, Hazem
Understanding Storage Account replication downtime
I have a Storage account that's used as a CDN to host a lot of generally small files which occupy about 2GB. This is a small but critical part of our application which is used heavily by our app but which has no redundancy (it currently only has LRS replication). It's hosted in UK South and while Storage Accounts are very reliable, I'm concerned that if there's ever a regional outage there's nothing I'd be able to do. The requirements therefore are: Convert it from LRS to GZRS i.e. actively replicating from UK South to UK West. No app changes required to detect when the primary goes down and to switch to the secondary-this needs to be transparent. No or low downtime when the change is made. We need to be able to write to the secondary after failover. As a software company anything that limits our ability to push code changes is not acceptable, so RA-GZRS is off the table. After doing a bit of reading, I found the following warning in the docs: If you choose to perform a manual migration, downtime is required but you have more control over the timing of the migration process. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/redundancy-migration?tabs=portal#downtime-requirements This is typically light on detail and leaves some critical questions unanswered: Is there any way of estimating how long the downtime will be so I can appropriately set expectations of management and customers when scheduling the maintenance window needed? It specifically mentions manual migrations i.e. making the change through the Azure Portal, would making the change through IAC e.g. Bicep or Terraform be any different? Any input from anyone who's made any similar changes will also be appreciated. Edit: I've just checked and found that UK West still doesn't have Availability Zone support, is my best option for reducing the risk of this single point of failure to set the replication to GRS? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/reliability/regions-list#azure-regions-list-1The November Innovation Challenge Winning Teams!
