Similar challenge as running an on prem farm. You still need to manage all the dependencies. Use System Center for cross premises virtual network.

Must do OS patching and great way to test new updates.

Similar to traditional on-prem farm but little risk from hardware failure. Azure will automatically repair and redeploy your VMs. Make sure any customizations can handle this scenario

Don’t have to use the Azure SharePoint template – can create your own for labs or mirror your production environments

99.95% for VMs in Availability Set

Running Your Farm


With A type servers, it’s all about IOPS

Move blobs to separate disks

Spread the load out

Use Storage Spaces in HA scenarios & blobs create better performing local storage on cluster nodes by managing storage pools and virtual disks manually instead of letting the cluster do that
