Creating highly available Azure Virtual Machines
Planned vs. Unplanned Maintenance Planned maintenance events are periodic updates made by Microsoft to the underlying Azure platform to improve overall reliability, performance, and security of the platform infrastructure that your virtual machines run on. Unplanned maintenance events occur when the hardware or physical infrastructure underlying your virtual machine has faulted in some way.
Definitions Availability Set Two or more Virtual Machines grouped together to avoid a single point of failure. Fault Domain - The group of Virtual Machines that share a common power source and network switch. By default, the Virtual Machines configured within your Availability Set are separated across up to three fault domains Update Domain - For a given availability set, up to five sets of Update Domains are created to indicate groups of virtual machines and underlying physical hardware that can be rebooted at the same time.
Availability Set FD0 UD0 FD1 UD1 FD2 UD2 UD3 UD4 UD0 UD1 UD2 UD3 UD4 UD0 UD1
Availability Set
Scenario Multi Tier Application Configure each application tier into separate availability sets By configuring at least two virtual machines in an availability set for each tier, you guarantee that at least one virtual machine in each tier will be available at all times
Storage Requirements to Ensure HA 1. Keep all disks (OS and data) associated with a VM in the same storage account 2. Storage account limits should be considered when adding more VHDs to a storage account 3. Use separate storage account for each VM in an Availability Set. Multiple VMs in the same availability set must NOT share the same storage account. It is acceptable for VMs across different Availability Sets to share storage accounts as long as the best practices above are followed
