HOw to improve the performance of VM in Azure

Question

I have hosted only Tally Application in one of my Azure Instance . Even though i have added 2 cores CPU and 8 GB RAM some times VM gets hanged

Answer 1

I suggest using performance diagnostics while the issue in occurring, this will give you more details and visibility on what's going on.

Answer 2

You might get limited because of hitting the VM limits OR disk limits of your VM. It is important to understand your limits. Take a performance diagnostic https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/performance-diagnostics and download the results. It will give you some hints for sure.

Hello SANDEEP SHETTY

If the system gets hanged after increasing the resource, check if we could press Ctrl+ALT+DEL button, it will always open task manager. Then check which process eats large resource. If there is no response by pressing CTL+ALT+DEL, then the system is completely stuck, which can only be restarted. I suggest that you could use WPT tool to capture performance trace or capture a Azure VM memory dump for analysis. I will be better to contact Microsoft telephone support for help with analysis.

Before this, some methods you could try to check:

1.If the system has installed security software, I suggest that disable it and firewall to check.

2.Check resource utilization: Monitor the resource utilization of your VM, including CPU, RAM, and disk usage. Use Azure Monitor or other monitoring tools to identify any spikes or excessive resource consumption that could be causing the hang. If you notice high utilization during the hang, you may need to consider scaling up your VM resources or optimizing your Tally application.

3.Consider VM size and configuration: Evaluate whether the current VM size and configuration are appropriate for the workload of your Tally application. If the hangs persist even with increased CPU and RAM, you may need to consider scaling up to a higher VM size or using a different VM series that better suits your application’s requirements.
