Effective Alternatives to Kernel Dumps in Azure App Services
When troubleshooting complex application issues, kernel dumps are invaluable for diagnosing low-level problems such as driver conflicts, kernel-mode memory issues, or other operating system-level behaviors. However, in Azure App Services, capturing full kernel dumps is not an option due to the platform’s managed and sandboxed nature. This article explains the reasons behind this limitation andContinue reading “Effective Alternatives to Kernel Dumps in Azure App Services”
Impact of Child Process Crashes on Web App Stability
In Azure Web Apps, child processes are essential for managing specialized workloads that the main application delegates to improve performance and responsiveness. These tasks often include image optimization, PDF generation, or external API requests. A child process is a lightweight, auxiliary executable spawned by the parent worker process (w3wp.exe). This modular architecture boosts scalability butContinue reading “Impact of Child Process Crashes on Web App Stability”
Why Flexibility is Key in Cloud Computing’s Future
The future of cloud computing is often portrayed as a linear progression—a steady march towards increasingly advanced technologies and capabilities. But evolution, whether in the natural world or technology, rarely follows a perfectly straight path. Just as chain ferns have shown the ability to “evolve backwards” to adapt to changing circumstances, cloud computing may alsoContinue reading “Why Flexibility is Key in Cloud Computing’s Future”
The Mechanics of Autoscaling in Cloud Architecture
How Does Automatic Scaling Work Behind the Scenes? In today’s cloud-driven world, application demand can fluctuate dramatically. Static resource allocation often fails to adapt to these changes, leading to inefficiencies and potential performance issues. Automatic scaling, or autoscaling, is a solution designed to dynamically adjust resources, ensuring optimal performance while minimizing costs. Let’s explore howContinue reading “The Mechanics of Autoscaling in Cloud Architecture”
Azure App Service Plans Memory Usage Demystified
When customers deploy applications on Azure App Service Plans (ASP), they often wonder, “What’s eating my memory?” It’s a valid question, as memory usage in a shared environment like ASP can be affected by a multitude of factors beyond just the customer’s application. I’ll break down the various components that impact memory usage, using aContinue reading “Azure App Service Plans Memory Usage Demystified”
