Nice plan that. A bursty plan might solve the issue with using a VM as a dev machine. You log into them for 8 hours or so a day and the rest of the time it's idle. You can shut them down in an automated fashion but the times never seem to match up with when you need them, or the scripts are fragile. Broke my last attempt and gave up trying to work out why it wasn't working right (and they change stuff all the time making the scripts more fragile).
Build up your bursty credit while you sleep and then use it when you need it. Yes please! Will check this out for my web servers etc, I always go the smallest and wish there were smaller ones. ________________________________ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> on behalf of Greg Keogh <gfke...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, 13 September 2017 9:22:24 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] Post NBN problem New B-series machines are out now (burstable CPU use): https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-b-series-our-new-burstable-vm-size/ 8-12 bucks US depending on Linux/Windows. Oh great! One day before I do my huge migration they release a VM plan which is probably better for me. Oh well, I'll wait a month or so and see if there are performance stats on my A0 that will suggest if a B0 is better, then I can change plans I guess -- GK
