I am pleased to support the MS Ignite as an ATE (Ask The Experts)

Short note, I am pleased to announce that I support some Microsoft Ignite sessions as an ATE (Ask the Experts). Which this means? I support the Product Team in the Live sessions with answer additional questions. There are many possibilities to get in touch with the Microsoft Product owner of each service, so view the Session scheduler and join relevant sessions to ask the Product owner about services, features, possibilities and more.

I will support the following sessions:

Ask the Expert: disk storage, core compute and networking on Tuesday

Septemper 22 | 9:15 PM – 9:45 PM CEST

Ask the Expert: Be prepared for what´s next: kick start your cloud journey with Azure Migrate Program

September 23 | 10:45 PM – 11:15 PM CEST

Move Azure VMs between Azure Global Regions

In the last couple of days I get a lot of question how to move Azure VMs between regions. So I decided to write a blog post about this question. First of all it is really important to understand which topics this article covers and which not.

To understand the article right, keep the follow settings in mind:

  • This article will cover how to move Azure VMs between global regions with ASR
  • Global regions mean all the standard available regions
  • This article doesn´t cover the movement between Azure Global and Azure Germany, Azure Governance or China
  • For moving Azure VMs from Azure Germany to Azure Global there there is planned to write an additional article
  • For a general movement of Azure resources (SQL databases, Web Apps and more) a futher post will follow

This article focuses on how to move Azure VMs between Azure global regions using Azure Site Recovery (ASR). Another article will focus on how to move other Azure resources between regions.

General

To move Azure VMs between different global regions with ASR there are some requirements needed:

  • Azure subscriptions are allowed to create Azure VMs in the target regions
  • User rights to create the Azure ressources (Azure VMs, VNETs, NICs, etc.)
  • Install latest updates on Windows/Linux OS
  • Check that the VM has Internet access without Proxy or Firewall between VM and Internet
  • When there is a firewall or proxy in place, check the needed requirements
  • Configure the VNET and Subnet in the target destination before move the VM to a different region

The process to move Azure VMs between different Global regions is straight forward. But don´t forget, all related management tasks to the VM, like Backup, Log analytics Workspace, Start Stop Runbooks will be lost after the migration.

Rückblick CIM 2019 und Ausblick CIM 2020 – Feedback notwendig

Es ist schon wieder eine Woche her, seitdem die CIM 2019 zu Ende gegangen ist. Die 15. CIM seitdem bestehen war wie immer schönes Treffen der IT-Gemeinde im IT-Mekka Lingen und evtl. ein Abschied vom bisherigen Format oder für längere Zeit.

Ich fand die CIM 2019 wieder eine Rundum gelungene Veranstaltung. Es gab wieder einige neuer Themen und auch neue Speaker, die dazu beitragen haben, dass die CIM weiterhin attraktiv bleibt. Aber auch die “alten Hasen” waren wieder mit dabei und haben den Charme der CIM erhalten und mit tollen Sessions und Keynotes für eine gelungene Veranstaltung gesorgt.
