Cloud Price Calculator Azure vs AWS vs Google

Came across this amazing website which provides a price calculator to estimate the cost of workloads on different public clouds. You need to fill the online form with different parameters like number of instances, their specs (RAM, CPU, DISK etc), geographic location, duration etc. After submitting the form, it gives a detailed report suggesting which VM template to use in the cloud and how much it will cost in different time durations. By default it gives pricing for Azure, AWS and Google public cloud , but you can add more cloud providers a well.

A must have resource for cloud professionals: https://calculator.unigma.com

SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 52 - Unable to locate a Local Database Runtime installation. Verify that SQL Server Express is properly installed and that the Local Database Runtime feature is enabled.)

Cause: Most probably this issue occurs when web application is attempts to reference a local database, which it wouldn't find which is causing that error.

Solution: To resolve above issue follow these steps:

2. Under connection strings verify that the connection string was correctly deployed.

Event ID 68518–The virtual machine couldn't be replicated

Problem:  You are trying to replicate a server to Azure and receiving the error “The virtual machine couldn't be replicated” and an event is generated with following Description:

Error ID : 68518
Possible causes : More than 20% of the replication cycles for virtual machine 'Treeserver' in cloud/site 'CND'   have been missed. Replication couldn't complete because of issues with   connectivity to the Azure storage account.

Recommendation : Fix any issues in the Event Viewer logs (Applications and   Service Logs - MicrosoftAzureRecoveryServices) on the Hyper-V host server and   if required resume the replication.

Solution : This problem is occurs when you don't have enough space on the local drive of the server which you are replicating. The only option is to increase the local disk space. Please refer to this KP Article published by Microsoft:
