Good video as always. To add, Shared Disks are fully GA now and I think the requirement to use a PPG is gone. You can do, but it seems to be optional now.
We dont have words to express our gratitude sir ! Great job ! great Sir. Thank you very much. Unique video sir. Sir Please if possible can you also lets know with load balancer -earlier model for FCI. Thank you
Hi John, Excellent explanations. I do have a question though. You didn't cover disk encryption for this shared disk. With 2 machines accessing it at the same time, how would this work?
You would not use the OS-based Azure Disk Encryption (ADE). Instead you would use the managed disk server side encryption (SSE) which could also be with a customer managed key (CMK). Hope this helps.
@@NTFAQGuy I was thinking that it would be like that. I have nothing against that solution as long as Azure Security Center would be ok with that. I don't remember reading anything about this in the documentation. Maybe you know what is the story in that area. Either way, thanks again for the video and for taking the time to answer. Much appreciated!
Great video John really loving these Azure videos! Quick question for your domain join are you using iaas dcs? Or aadds or just VPN gw back to your on prem?
John Savill awesome thanks for the quick reply. Yea it’s a pity MS don’t offer a cheaper aadds skew for testing/homelab maybe with a single dc instead of two
There would be no difference on the Azure side. Only on Linux how you use a shared disk. The Azure documentation goes through some options like the use of Pacemaker etc
Hey thanks for the great video and content, very well presented. I've been having issues with a shared disk I've created between two VMs. The issue is that even though the disk is attached to both vms, files and data are not syncing in the disk when changes are made by each of the VMs. The weird thing is I can get the files to sync but only when I take the disk offline and back online again. Not sure why this is happening
Make sure in the OS instances they are clustered and using a shared disk tech on top, i.e. persistent reservations. You can't just treat it like a regular disk.
My company sells a software solution that runs in Access. The program and user interface is in the front end and all databases are in a back end also in Access. Some of our clients with large database keep their data in SQL and use an ODBC connection. Many also share the databases with multiple users. In a local environment this has not been a problem. We have been moving some clients to Azure but sharing a database has not really been possible. (We tried using a mapped drive on a Storage Blob but the performance was horrible.) My question is will Azure Share Disk work in this situation where i have two or three VMs with the front end Access program on each VM with the shared backend database (still in Access) on the Azure Shared Drive?
without knowing all details hard to certain but if its simply access to the same file from multiple VMs then yes a shared disk will behave like a regular shared disk (now if multiple OS instances can open the same file at the same time is another matter). Azure Files which provides SMB file share may be a better option.
@@NTFAQGuy thanks for the response. The back end database is be linked to the front end program and all queries are run on the front end. However, the same database file could be linked to two different VMs but the usage would be typically be light. There could also be multiple databases but only one can be linked to the same front end at a time.

FYI: The picture of the dog earned my like.
hehe, thanks :-D
Great job! Love the content as always John!
dog is the mvp here
lol
awesome video

Correct.
Awesomest

Yes you can still use with load balancer pre 2019

Regular DCs running in Azure IaaS VMs. But would be the same if DCs were on-premises and connected S2S VPN or ExpressRoute.
John Savill awesome thanks for the quick reply. Yea it’s a pity MS don’t offer a cheaper aadds skew for testing/homelab maybe with a single dc instead of two
@@ca2997 You can always just stand up a very small IaaS VM for testing.
Nice video
Thanks!
Please, instructions for share disk for Linux Vms.
