Hi
Currently i am using Small VM with Cent OS Linux for 1 month trail period and wanted to upgrade the same.
I have few concerns ,kindly clarify
1. I have Cent OS and i had installed my application ,Apache and MySQL
who takes care of my Cent-OS updates?
2. Since i am using one single VM ( as per budget constraints) ,if that fails and VM is not coming up
what are the next steps and what are the best practices to avoid this (or) mange this situation
3.I can Microsoft Azure provides (from one of Microsoft azure presentation)
99.9% for single role instances
(8.75 hours of downtime per year)
------(We have now offer an SLA for virtual machines running a single instance. This is different from web/worker roles which require two VM's for an SLA).-------- What does it mean
So with single instance VM also can we achieve 99% up time or do we need additional VM's
4. Can i copy the VM's VHD file to my local machine or to Microsoft cloud at no charge (free of cost)
5.In case of VM not coming how soon i can bring up my VM ,how can we take Microsoft help on this to fix the issue.
Please help me in this to move forward further.
