Managing the Virtual Machine - Migration, Scaling & Cost Optimization
This article discusses the steps involved in managing a virtual machine, including migrating it to a new subnet, vertically scaling the VM, and attaching a new data disk to increase storage capacity.
Why it matters
Proper management of virtual machines, including migration, scaling, and storage optimization, is crucial for ensuring the reliability and performance of cloud-based applications.
Key Points
- 1Migrated the VM to a new secured subnet with stricter network rules
- 2Vertically scaled the VM to increase CPU and memory for better performance
- 3Attached a new managed disk to provide additional storage for the FTP server
Details
The article covers the process of transitioning the virtual machine to a new subnet with stricter security measures, such as allowing only SSH access. This was done by stopping the VM, changing the subnet configuration, and then restarting the VM. To handle the increased workload of the FTP server, the author vertically scaled the VM by selecting a higher SKU with more processing power and memory. Finally, a new data disk was attached to the VM to provide additional storage capacity for the FTP server. These steps aimed to ensure the VM could properly support its workload, while maintaining performance, security, and efficiency.
