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.
