I am a fan of Gearman to schedule and dispatch distributed jobs, Redis as a collaborative blackboard, and GlusterFS to share models across multiple systems and make bulk data available across the entire system (usually referenced in the blackboard as a pathname). Source: about 1 year ago

If you're not relying on support, then I would probably standardize on the latest packages available from gluster.org. Source: almost 3 years ago

What size are your disks as this determines a few things? Credit based bursting is enabled by default for E30 and smaller but you may have to upgrade to premium to get the performance what you need. Look at, Https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-disks/. Source: over 1 year ago

So question for you...... How woudl you "normally" compute how much a disk that is not attached costs? Would it be by size/type, location? Https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-disks/. Source: over 1 year ago

No, default OS disk is 127 GB (for windows machines). You will need just to resize it. Then you need to add another managed disk to VM https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-disks/. You don't need storage account for this. But you can use storage account as a file share replacement or also if you will be using native azure backup there will be another costs associated. Source: over 1 year ago
