Blog post by Scott Guthrie on new features released for Azure Mobile Services .NET

 

 A blog post by SR EE Craig Landis describing how to use Azure monitoring features to check for Storage Account Throttling:

 

Why to monitor:

  • There is a 20,000 IOPS limit per storage account
  • For Azure VMs, storage limits is 500 IOPS per disk

With close to 40 highly used VHDs, it’s easy to bump against the account storage IOPS limit.
