Guys, I developed a PowerShell script to deploy a backup vault and a standard protection policy for your VMs in Azure. Through it, it is much faster and more practical to configure your backup infrastructure.

How to estimate costs for replicating your environment with ASR in a Disaster and Recovery solution in MS Azure.
Hey guys!!
Do you know how to estimate the costs required to use Azure Site Recovery (ASR)??? No??? Let’s go…
I will demonstrate below an easy and easy-to-understand way.
As everyone knows, one of the disaster and recovery solutions present in Microsoft Azure is ASR. Through it, it is possible to replicate your Virtual Machines (VMs) from OnPremisses environments (Physical, VMware, Hyper-v), between MS Azure data centers, as well as orchestration of VMware and Hyper-v clusters.
Azure Backup support for SQL Server in virtual machines (VMs)
Hey guys!!
Now Azure Backup for SQL Server installed on a Virtual Machine (VM) has been released for all Microsoft Azure regions through Azure Backup. Azure Backup for SQL Server in virtual machines is a simplified and modern way to back up databases in a cloud solution. It is a platform as a service, that is, without the need to deal with infrastructure and with high scalability. Through this tool, we can back up a standalone instance as well as an AllwaysOn database, with centralized management and monitoring.

“AZURE to AZURE” replication support released for VMs with S2D
Hey guys!!
Now it is possible to configure, through Azure Site Recovery, the replication of VMs that use S2D (Storage spaces direct), software-defined storage. Below is an example represented by two VMs in Azure with failover cluster using S2D:

Changes in Linux support for ASR
Hello everyone!!
We had some changes in the support for Linux distributions in Azure Site Recovery, as follows:
- O ASR passa a suportar RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) e Cent)S 7.5, 6.10, e 7.6.
- ASR now supports RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Cent)S 7.5, 6.10, and 7.6. Added support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (up to SP3) until July 2018.
- ASR now supports CentOS 6.10 from August/2018 onwards
- Added support for the latest versions of Oracle Enterprise Linux, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0 up to 5.5.
- For Ubuntu, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 and Debian versions, frequent updates are made to ensure support for the latest kernels.

Manually installing WALinuxAgent on Linux servers that are replicated via ASR to Azure
Hello guys.
Here’s a very useful tutorial that often requires manual installation of the Azure agent on virtual machines that will be replicated by ASR (Azure Site Recovery). I’ll show you below a step-by-step guide, performing the installation on a Linux server with CentOS 7.5 distribution.

High Availability for your Applications with Traffic Manager in Azure
Hello guys, Today I’m bringing you Traffic Manager, a great solution that enables traffic routing based on DNS, whether for failover, performance, geographic access or weighted round robin.
- Priority: Prioritize an endpoint and the others are in standby according to the configured priority.
- Weighted: When there is a need to distribute traffic among a set of endpoints, either uniformly or according to defined weights.
- Performance: When you have endpoints in different regions and end users distributed in those regions, prioritizing each one’s connection according to the “closest” endpoint.
- Geographic: Users will be directed to specific endpoints (Azure, External or Nested), based on originating DNS queries. Continue reading “High Availability for your Applications with Traffic Manager in Azure”
Hyper-V virtualized in a VM (Nested Virtualization) in Azure
Hey guys, how are you?!! Did you know that it is possible to have a virtualized hyper-v inside a Virtual Machine in Azure (Nested Virtualization)? Or even use this same hyper-v to run your Docker containers? This idea is interesting (usually for testing purposes), when you want a server environment as if it were in the on-premisses environment, where there is a need to have host Hyper-V management.

New Event: ROADSHOW 2018
Hello everyone, next week there will be an Unmissable Event called ROADSHOW, which will address the theme of digital transformation and how we can face this transition with security, mobility and agility, taking advantage of the best cloud services. There will be 5 days running throughout RS, choose the best city and register.
I will be speaking voluntarily with Rodrigo MVP in DATA Platform, demonstrating Microsoft Azure and ways to migrate your applications to it.
