With the impending retirement of the classic Cloud Service (CS) on August 31st, 2024, an increasing number of users have initiated the migration of their classic Cloud Service to Cloud Service Extended Support (CSES). To facilitate this transition, an official feature known as in-place migration has been introduced, enabling the seamless migration of classic CS to CSES without incurring any downtime. However, certain limitations exist, with the VM size used by the CS role being a notable factor. As per documentation, the A-series, encompassing Small, Medium, and Large VM sizes, is no...

This article describes how to scale up a Service Fabric cluster primary node type with minimal downtime. In-place SKU upgrades are not recommended on Service Fabric cluster nodes, as such operations potentially involve data and availability loss so you can refer below for below method for scaling up a Service Fabric node type.
Note: We will be making use of PowerShell cmdlets for all the changes we are going to perform in the cluster, so in case you want to go with the ARM template approach to add a VMSS you can refer Scale up an Azure Service Fabric primary node type - Azure Service...
Case: In a situation, you observe your EventHub namespace is still incurring the cost, even though you are not doing any operations (read/write/management) on it and your EventHub namespace has no active EventHub instances present.
Root Cause of the behavior:
At the time of creating the Azure EventHub namespace (Basic/Standard/Premium/Dedicated tier), you may have to give pre-purchased units of capacity in terms of Throughput units/Processing units/Capacity units based on the tier you choose. These pre-purchased units of capacity controls throughput capacity of the EventHub...
