If you want that to be permanantā¦ then I am sure a modification to @klincecum nag remover will fix that..

That would be explain why our deployments get stuck on that step for what seems like forever. Iāll have to try pointing it to an empty directory first.

Upgrading live was a breezeā¦ Copying / Restoring and Deploying a 500+gb DBās around to 10+ environments is gonna be the death of us.
Back Up Live ā Copy to Pilot wait 800 years for the hard disks / io / etc all to copy the stuff around (800 years ~ 25-35 minutes per Db instance)
Deploy Pilot Appserver 01,02,03, Regen , Recycle, Lather Rinse for
Test, Train, A,B,C,D,E,F
At risk of repeating myself
PS: We learned the hard way that if you double up (Paste multple times) you supress the IOPS across the baord soā¦ no help there
Who knew that IOPS was the bottle neck ā¦ (literaly everyoneā¦)

Our Upgrade went super-slow for some reason some scripts took 40 minutes, that usually take 18. The Upgrade timed out then we continued and it completed.

Curious as Iām not a hardware guy but what are sysadmins thinking about SSD these days? Seems like a no brainer if budgeted but seem to recall some aversion due to reliability n life span earlier on.
These were all Premium SSD, still 500 gigsā¦ is 500 gigs

We run all premium SSD/NVMe flash these days. Weāve not had any reliability issues. But, we arenāt using cheap drives either. They start at about $5K and go up to $21K depending on size. 24Gbpsā¦

FWIW, Ive noticed a huge perf diff w robocopy vs win file drag/paste.

I see better performance going Linux > Windows over Windows > Windows. Windows just adds too much overhead to be efficient.

Yeah after the 3rd one we switched from copy paste windows, to a script that went better. But still took for ever, Azure limits your IOPS based on size and its a hard limit tied to the size of the drive.
1 TB SDD Premium Drive Limit is 7500 IOPS and you canāt increase it unless you increase the Size itself. Which caps at like 250MBs
They have ultra disks but thatās prohibitebly expensive hereās 1 TB at 2.5 gigs per second throughput (monthly fee)

Read somewhere azcopy is like robocopy for az storage.

I forgot about the Azure limits you guys would run into.

It is. I use it whenever I need to move a large amount of data to Azure. But youāre still limited to whatever youāre paying for on the Azure side.
