Azure云服务（经典）无法使用新的存储帐户自动扩展

Question

I deployed WorkerRole to Azure Cloud Service (classic) in new portal. With this, I also created Azure Storage account for queue.

Try to add AutoScale rule, the storage account is not listed. Tried to select Other Resource and put Resource Identifier of storage, there's no Metric name listed.

Is it by design that classic Cloud Service and new Storage account not working together?

Answer 1

Storage account data (eg blobs, queues, containers, tables) are accessible simply with account name + key. Any app can work with them.

However, to manage/enumerate available storage accounts, there are Classic-created and ARM-created accounts, each with different API's.

The original Azure Service Management (ASM) API doesn't know anything about ARM resources. There's a fairly good chance that, since you're deploying to a Classic cloud service, it's using ASM only and will not be able to enumerate ARM-created storage accounts.

If you create a Classic storage account (which has zero difference in functionality), you should be able to see it as an option for auto-scale.

I have a bit more details on the differences in this answer .

Answer 2

At this time, it is not possible to autoscale anything based on a new "v2" storage account. It has nothing to do with the fact that you are using the classic Azure Cloud Service. I am having the same issue with using Azure App Services. In the end, I just created a classic storage account to use for the autoscaling. There is no difference in how you interact with the different types of storage accounts.
