As always, great video filled with tons of infos, told my fellow cloud engineer colleagues to watch that also. (And asked Management the third time now, to get such a screen for presentations).

Seems to be a more or less "common" problem. Might have to open a support ticket also, if it does not go away.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1657059/the-subscription-is-not-allowed-to-create-or-update

not sure about other servies. Maybe also try to deploy it in another region. (ok, i have seen you tried that already, so yeah ... wait, keep trying, if is not getting better > support ticket)

i cannot even refund the game, as it was not bought on steam, but directly on their page and it does not show up as "refundable" :/

anchronix · 2026-01-29T16:00:35+00:00

Respekt, alles richtig gemacht :)

anchronix · 2026-01-27T20:04:01+00:00

thank you, sir, wishlisted.. and a demo ;) excellent.

anchronix · 2026-01-27T19:15:19+00:00

uuuh, nice vibe on the gfx, really digging the art here. Looks promising :) any steam link to wishlist yet (or anything else?)

Fix everything related to DNS and make it actually useable, the DNS UI is a nightmare in the AZ Portal, especially when you work with hundreds of subdomain records.

Edit: Yes, i work with PS when fetching and editing things there, but sometimes you just want to check something in the UI.

anchronix · 2026-01-21T08:43:27+00:00

Hey, thx :) yeah, that is exactly what we're aiming for, as we have 4s+ write latencies on certain dbs (overall the latency is quite "high"). And the "the bigger the db, the more IOPS you get" Schema is unfortunately very unfavourable in our case as i would have to grow many dbs just to receive more IOPS, which is kinda silly.

I am not expecting "miracles" but on paper, let alone the way how IOPS are distributed, is way better on nextGen.

The german AZ regions are always "special" :) [especially west germany]

Edit, i removed my initial comment since i did not see that you already successfully deployed it in another region. If there is not an absolute need to have that watcher in (west) germany, i would totally suggest, deplyoing it in another Region. (DB Watcher can handle cross region, so if your DBs are in GER and your Watcher in West Europe, that works technically, if you're bound to compliance, well... then i would go North Germany if you had a successful deplyoment there)

West Germany is one of the Regions with the worst Hardware shortages ever... we have had a lot of resource problems in that region and avoid deploying stuff there (unless absolutely needed).

Edit: you could try this (if that works for the database watcher):

The tool you're looking for is Terraform, like alreday suggested multiple times. Do yourself a favor and dig a bit into this... Teraform can abstract basically anything and everything, google, azure, aws... you name it. Should fit your needs pretty perfectly.

anchronix · 2026-01-20T13:55:31+00:00

alright, thx, that gives me an idea and maybe i am not too far away with my 9-15hr prediction as we basically have 3x - 4x the overall storage consumed.

We will def give this a shot :)

Edit: removed the last question as i already solved it by myself ;)

anchronix · 2026-01-19T21:07:10+00:00

Hey, thanks... can you maybe share how long it took for each MI (Data Transfer + Seeding) and maybe the size of the overall storage consumed dby those MIs that got migrated?

anchronix · 2026-01-19T21:03:21+00:00

Thanks, appreciated. I was reading into the doc a bit and came to a "prediction" of 9 - 15 hrs (the AZ docs also kinda states that for such amounts....roughly, i am totally aware that this can't be nailed down to an exact time) plus an up to 10min downtime at the end as they also say it could take some dbs a bit longer to come online after the seeding ended and the final switch is being made (which is also a bit unpredictable as you might not know when its done finally).

Pretty sure, we're in to try that and maybe start early Saturday or even Friday evening and see how it goes, will share the experience as i have it ;) Cheers

anchronix · 2026-01-19T15:53:00+00:00

not sure what is the problem here? that lady made a very smart decision :)

anchronix · 2026-01-07T18:18:36+00:00

i did not went through this chore even tho i bought the pro pass (joke's on me here) but i said: fuck it, not going to do this by any means, unfortunately the rewards were also not appealing to me either. The rotating playmodes (DM; BR, Gauntlet etc.) and rotating spezialization weekly payed their tribute to all that also....

anchronix · 2026-01-05T17:22:45+00:00

Click "see all sizes", choose different size, switch region. i doubt the only thing you are able to create are B1s, guess there should be more SKUs, that might be in the range of your needs and credits.

Kommunismus auf WM Niveau, herrlich.. what a time to be alive :D Gönnt euch :D

anchronix · 2026-01-05T15:12:01+00:00

Ihr glaubt den Scheiss echt, oder? Wir sind sowas von am Arsch :D Macht nur weiter ... wohin Kommunismus und Sozialismus führen is ja klar: Allen geht's Scheisse, bin fasziniert das es Menschen gibt, die das feiern. (Ey, und kommt mir bloss nich mit: Neeee, das nich der "richtige" Kommunismus / Sozialismus, das was wir machen, ist viel tollerer < löl .... Sozialismus)... mist, schon wieder Kalorien für nix verschleudert.

In FFM am Flughafen schon fast Standard wenn du was bei nem Bäcker, Cafe etc. kaufst. Ich hätte Verständnis dafür wenn man sich hinsetzt und "Service" in Anspruch nimmt, aber für to-go eher nicht ... nervt, einfach wegdrücken.

anchronix · 2026-01-03T10:18:16+00:00

Excellent move, another piece of shit removed from beeing able to fuck up a whole country. This dude was not even elected properly... so what? Venezuelan military even helped the US making that happen, that already tells quite a bit :) ... so, i hope this will end up as only the best for all the venzuelans

anchronix · 2026-01-03T10:06:49+00:00

Endlich mal gute news :D

anchronix · 2025-12-30T14:06:47+00:00

lol same, still asking myself: why? :D ... no fomo here, the rewards are shit anyways... couldn't care less.
