Azure purchased Domain name and SSL can be used for Azure Could Service URL ?
Hi, We are able to configure/published IIS website on Azure cloud services URL and the website is accessible through the Internet. Now we are planning to add custom domain and SSL to cloud service URL. I have gone through the Microsoft blogs and understand that we must purchase Custom domain name and SSL from the third party. Instead of purchasing from third-party can I purchase in Azure portal and use for my cloud service? Is it only usable for AppServices? Can't we use for cloud service? Please clarify...
Azure SQL DB built in backup and cloud service snapshot
Hi I have some questions regarding the built in backup service for SQL on Azure as well as a the correct method to backing up or taking and storing a snapshot of a cloud service container service. From what I have read when you create an Azure SQL db, an automatic backup gets taken daily and is retained for 7 to 35 days depending on service level. Is there any setup that needs to take place as I have also read: Automated database backups are used when you create a database copy. So do I need to create a database copy before the built in backups take place or have they already begun getting backed up when I created the database? Where are these backups stored? and what is the backup schedule? Secondly i have found that you cannot backup a container service in the traditional manner, what is the method I can employ in order to possibly take a snapshot of this service or any other method to backup the service itself? Thanks
