Re: Azure Files hosting fslogix profile containters and now Hot LRS Write Operations costs exploding
Hi all, We actually had a semi-unique situation occur here. MS got their pricing wrong. We were in an affected tenant which had the correct quantities of operations being reported but had incorrect charges applied to them and thus our bill as CSP was ridiculous. Without knowing this I started to second guess and troubleshoot (and lean out the profiles) in any and every way possible to reduce the blow out. This was ultimately an error condition which affected a group (no idea how many) of tenancies globally and has now been resolved. With re: to Azure File Premium, this was never scoped or priced for with respect to my project. Azure premiums for fslogix was (at the time of my project) only in the mix if you had several hundred concurrent users, but this was not the case. I agree, it would be a better solution but simply was not budgeted for.5.2KViews1like0CommentsRe: Azure Files hosting fslogix profile containters and now Hot LRS Write Operations costs exploding
Smith_J Hi - thanks for the reply, but I am having difficulty understanding its relevance to my situation. Are you advocating that azure files is not the correct location for fslogix profiles given that 'in many cases you will not be establishing a new file share'? Please elaborate - but thank you for taking the time to respond.5.7KViews1like0CommentsRe: Azure Files hosting fslogix profile containters and now Hot LRS Write Operations costs exploding
SteveMiles70 I am both glad and disappointed to hear that this experience is shared. I too have a case (multiple re: WVD performance) open with MS about this. I will let you know if anything of consequence comes of it. In the discussions I have had with support personnel I have been made two recommendations: - enable folder exclusions via redirections.xml for google chrome cache (completed, reduced write transactions by about 10% only) - remove DFS for VHDLocations that I have setup (I created a namespace for \\domain.local\dfs\profiles > \\storageacc.file.core.windows.net\filesharename) and used the optimised namespace in my golden image for the registry entry VHDLocations (completed, no change - also might add that it doesnt make alot of sense to me either but I will defer to the SMEs) In your deployment would you mind sharing what you are currently redirecting via redirections.xml and any other specific fslogix configurations you might have made?5.8KViews1like2CommentsAzure Files hosting fslogix profile containters and now Hot LRS Write Operations costs exploding
As per title. I have configured WVD for approx 100 concurrent users with all profiles managed via fslogix sitting on Azure Files (standard). We have had issues with our deployment (with not getting the expected user/vm density we expect) however an issue we did _not_ expect was the storage transaction costs we are seeing. We currently are experiencing a transaction cost (hot lrs write) to storage cost ratio of about 25:1. I have utilised redirections.xml to redirect as much (google chrome, teams. onedrive amongst others) as I can away from the profile but no real difference has been made to the azure storage stats. I have run process monitor with filters configured to record file writes but cannot see any smoking guns other than the afore mentioned applications. Are other seeing the same? Or is there something fundamentally incorrect with this deployment. Thanks6KViews1like12Comments
