IMPORTANT for OpInsights users!
If you are using OpsMgr with Azure Operational Insights behind proxies with specific ACL or rules to only allow traffic to specific destination, please note the following upcoming change that would require an action in your environment.
In order to align the way that OpsMgr and direct agent send data to the service, and as we are making preparations to have a presence in more Azure regions, we have to make a ONE-TIME change to the URLs that the management packs use to post data to OpInsights: where in the past OpsMgr would be talking to ods.systemcenteradvisor.com , with an upcoming deployment (possibly mid next week, we will update this post closer to the deployment as we have a more specific date) OpsMgr will instead start reporting to <yourworkspaceid>.ods.opinsights.azure.com. We recommend you update your firewall/proxy’s ACLs/rules to allow traffic to the new destination *.ods.opinsights.azure.com or your data would start either queuing up on OpsMgr and/or eventually being dropped if the new destination can’t be reached.
As the new management packs will be received, the system will start reporting to the new URL, and you can later remove the previous ods.systemcenteradvisor.com entry which won’t be needed any longer.
We have updated the table with the relevant URLs on our troubleshooting blog post and are updating the MSDN documentation as well. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need more information or help.

We recently updated our certificate infrastructure to reflect all up Windows Azure Certificate Authority change (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2013/03/15/windows-azure-root-certificate-migration.aspx).
Some Linux clients do not does not accept certificates chained to both the GTE CyberTrust Global Root and the Baltimore CyberTrust Root and you may hit certificate validation errors. Accepting the Root Certificate trust will solve the issue.

We are pleased to announce a new development in the display of thumbnail images with the Bing Search API. As the demand for images in Bing has increased, the need for larger thumbnails to display high quality images has grown. To meet this need, thumbnail dimensions will now be increased when the original image can support it.
How does this affect you? If you currently display images in your application, you will need to utilize existing thumbnail properties to adjust the thumbnail size to your UI specifications. We recommend that you should not have a dependency on the upper bound of the thumbnail size, as the thumbnail size will vary.

Developers and media companies trust and rely on Azure Media Services to build media applications that include encoding, content protection with DRM, video indexing, live streaming, dynamic packaging, and content delivery at scale. The API now features:
A simplified development and management model that
adds new capabilities across live, VOD, and Content Protection
includes new presets to facilitate automated audio and video metadata extraction workflows in Azure
A new live streaming (LiveEvent) entity with support for 8-second end-to-end low-latency streaming across both HLS and DASH (when using 1s GOPs)
Release of a CLI 2.0 command line module that supports all API features (including live!)
Better integration experience with key Azure services like Event Grid, Logic Apps, and Functions
Updated versions of the most requested client SDKs for .NET, .NET Core, Java, Go, Ruby, Python, and Node.js.
In addition, there are updates to Azure Media Player— AMP now includes a Low Latency profile to use with the new LiveEvent entity, and its accessibility support has been enhanced with the inclusion of the closed-captioning standard CEA-708.
For more information on the above, please read the announcement blog.

As part of our impending shut-down of ACS authentication and Key support in Azure Media Services, we will be removing support for ACS key management from Powershell as of next week.
If you have not begun your migration to use AAD authentication, you should begin so IMMEDIATELY!
In June we will be shutting off ACS key authentication support for all calls to Azure Media Services API. This means that all API calls and code that has not been migrated to use Azure Active Directory (AAD) auth will no longer work.
See our previous announcements on the required updates here:
ACS deprecation AnnouncementAlso see the full blog post with details on migration here:

Azure Media Services client SDKs for both Java and PHP now support Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication.
Due to the upcoming deprecation of key authentication support for the Azure Access Control service (ACS) on June 22, 2018, all Media Services customers are required to upgrade their client SDK or REST API code to support Azure AD authentication.
To get the latest Java SDK release, see the details in our Java documentation. To download the latest PHP SDK for Media Services, look for version 0.5.7 of the Microsoft/WindowsAzure package in the Packagist repository. For critical information about the deprecation of ACS, see our blog.

This is a CRITICAL reminder of an upcoming BREAKING CHANGE to your code if you are using Azure Media Services.
On June 1, 2018, we will be shutting down ACS authentication key support. This is currently the primary way most customers are authenticating with Azure Media Services. We are being forced off the ACS system due to that team's planned retirement of the backend ACS key services. As we have blogged before, we have moved to Azure Active Directory for Authentication (AAD). See my previous blog post here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-media-service-aad-auth-and-acs-deprecation/Starting in November 2017, we will be turning off the ACS key blade in the Media Services section of the Azure Portal. You will no longer be able to retrieve or rotate your existing ACS keys for authentication with Media Services. We are doing this to promote the coming critical change
more, and ask customers to move more rapidly to meet the June 1 deadline. You can still list your keys via the REST management API or through Powershell.
We are pleading directly to our customer base to IMMEDIATELY update your SDK or REST API code to use Active Directory (AAD ) authentication. Do not delay, as this will be a breaking change to your code on June 1, 2018.You production code using ACS keys will begin to fail authentication on that date.
If you have any questions, reach out on this forum or email amshelp@microsoft.com to reach our team.Thanks,

The Media Services team is very excited to announce some long awaited customer features, including both our new Standard Streaming Endpoints and Enhanced Azure CDN Integration.
Our new Standard Streaming Endpoints offer auto-scaling and the flexibility to deliver your content to virtually every device through dynamic packaging into HLS, MPEG-DASH, and Smooth Streaming as well as dynamic encryption for Microsoft PlayReady, Google Widevine, Apple Fairplay, and AES128 without needing to worry about Streaming Units. They also scale from very small to very large audiences with thousands of concurrent viewers through Azure CDN integration. The new Streaming endpoints only cost a very low monthly fee, with no additional costs when they scale up based on demand.
Moving forward, all new Media Services accounts will be created with Standard Streaming Endpoint by default. Addition to this all new media services accounts come with 15 days of free Standard Streaming Endpoint. This is great for developers who need to test out our MPEG-DASH and HLS advanced features without committing to spending for the month. Existing Media Services accounts with classic Streaming Endpoint will not be automatically migrated to Standard Streaming Endpoint, but will have the option to migrate manually. Standard Streaming Endpoints is our recommended option for virtually all streaming scenarios and audience sizes.
In addition to Standard Streaming Endpoints, we are also pleased to announce enhanced Azure CDN integration. With a single click you can integrate all the available Azure CDN providers (Akamai and Verizon) to your Streaming Endpoint including their Standard and Premium products and you can manage and configure all the related features through the Azure CDN portal. When Azure CDN is enabled for a Streaming Endpoint using Azure Media Services, data transfer charges between the Streaming Endpoint and CDN do not apply. Data transferred is instead charged at the CDN edge using CDN pricing.
You can start trying out new Standard Streaming Endpoint and CDN integration or migrate your existing endpoints to Standard Streaming Endpoint using Azure Portal (Please note that AMS is not accessible via Azure Classic portal and have a new home).
If you prefer writing code, you need to use REST 2.15 and upgrade to .NET SDK 3.8.0.5.
For more information please check our blog post and Streaming endpoints overview.

You can now monitor your usage of On-Demand Streaming for your media services accounts via the following three metrics that are now available via the Azure Media Services dashboard.
Streaming Data Out - Indicates how many Bytes of egress data has been used for On-Demand Streaming.
Streaming HTTP Errors - Indicates how many HTTP Errors have occured. This includes server errors (e.g. HTTP 500 caused by blob store or a media services component) as well as typical client errors (e.g. HTTP 404 or 403). In a future update we will provide additional granularity so that you can track these errors individually.
Streaming Requests - Indicates how many requests for data have been made for on-demand streaming.
If there are other metrics that you would like to see available for on-demand streaming, add the request to our uservoice board - https://azuremediaservices.uservoice.com/

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Azure Migrate.
Azure Migrate is offered at no additional charge and provides appliance-based, agentless discovery of your on-premises environments. It enables discovery of VMware-virtualized Windows and Linux VMs today and will enable discovery of Hyper-V environments in the future. It also provides an optional, agent-based discovery for visualizing interdependencies between machines to identify multi-tier applications. This enables you to plan your migration across three dimensions:
- Readiness: Are the machines that host my multi-tier application suitable for running in Azure?
- Rightsizing: What size will my Azure VM be, based on my machine’s configuration or utilization?
- Cost: How much will my recurring Azure costs be, taking into account discounts like Azure Hybrid Benefit?
You can get started by creating a migration project in the Azure portal. In addition...
- Get and stay informed with our documentation.
- Seek help by posting a question on our forum or contacting Microsoft Support.
- Provide feedback by posting or voting for an idea in our user voice.
Happy Migrations!

Quick Tips for former Capptain customers who are new to Azure:
- You can setup a free 30 trial of Azure if you don't have a subscription: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/
- However, to avoid losing access to your AzME trial apps when your free Azure trial expires, you can setup a "pay as you go" Azure subscription instead of a free trial: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0003p/
- Then, with a "pay as you go" account, as long as you have less than 100 monthly active users, your AzME apps are still free to use long term: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/mobile-engagement/
- You will be billed for any other Azure services in addition to AzME that you use as the standard rates: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/
- You can setup a "spending limit" to ensure that you don’t accidentally spend too much per month: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/spending-limits/
- If you want to pay for your Azure subscription by invoice instead of credit card, you can setup "pay by invoice": http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/invoicing/
- You can open a Billing or Account related SR for free from any Azure subscription: https://manage.windowsazure.com/?getsupport=true
- You can even open a Billing or Account related SR for free without an existing Azure subscription: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=544831&clcid=0x409
- You have to purchase technical support plans to be eligible to open a Technical Support SR (even though Billing or Account related SRs are free): http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/
- BizSpark members can access AzME with their BizSpark Azure benefits: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0064p/

Identity and access management is an anchor for security and top of mind for enterprise IT departments. It is key to extending anytime, anywhere access to employees, partners, and customers. Windows Azure Multi-Factor Authentication is now available to deliver increased access security and convenience for IT and end users.
In addition to entering a username and password during sign in, users also authenticate with the Windows Azure Multi-Factor Authentication app on their mobile device or via an automated phone call or text message. In order for an attacker to gain access to the user’s account, they would need to know the user’s login credentials and be in possession of the user’s phone. This increases security while using mobile devices and methods that are familiar to users.

IMPORTANT for OpInsights users!
If you are using OpsMgr with Azure Operational Insights behind proxies with specific ACL or rules to only allow traffic to specific destination, please note the following upcoming change that would require an action in your environment.
In order to align the way that OpsMgr and direct agent send data to the service, and as we are making preparations to have a presence in more Azure regions, we have to make a ONE-TIME change to the URLs that the management packs use to post data to OpInsights: where in the past OpsMgr would be talking to ods.systemcenteradvisor.com , with an upcoming deployment (possibly mid next week, we will update this post closer to the deployment as we have a more specific date) OpsMgr will instead start reporting to <yourworkspaceid>.ods.opinsights.azure.com. We recommend you update your firewall/proxy’s ACLs/rules to allow traffic to the new destination *.ods.opinsights.azure.com or your data would start either queuing up on OpsMgr and/or eventually being dropped if the new destination can’t be reached.
As the new management packs will be received, the system will start reporting to the new URL, and you can later remove the previous ods.systemcenteradvisor.com entry which won’t be needed any longer.
We have updated the table with the relevant URLs on our troubleshooting blog post and are updating the MSDN documentation as well. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need more information or help.

We recently updated our certificate infrastructure to reflect all up Windows Azure Certificate Authority change (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2013/03/15/windows-azure-root-certificate-migration.aspx).
Some Linux clients do not does not accept certificates chained to both the GTE CyberTrust Global Root and the Baltimore CyberTrust Root and you may hit certificate validation errors. Accepting the Root Certificate trust will solve the issue.
Thanks,

We are pleased to announce a new development in the display of thumbnail images with the Bing Search API. As the demand for images in Bing has increased, the need for larger thumbnails to display high quality images has grown. To meet this need, thumbnail dimensions will now be increased when the original image can support it.
How does this affect you? If you currently display images in your application, you will need to utilize existing thumbnail properties to adjust the thumbnail size to your UI specifications. We recommend that you should not have a dependency on the upper bound of the thumbnail size, as the thumbnail size will vary.

Developers and media companies trust and rely on Azure Media Services to build media applications that include encoding, content protection with DRM, video indexing, live streaming, dynamic packaging, and content delivery at scale. The API now features:
A simplified development and management model that
adds new capabilities across live, VOD, and Content Protection
includes new presets to facilitate automated audio and video metadata extraction workflows in Azure
A new live streaming (LiveEvent) entity with support for 8-second end-to-end low-latency streaming across both HLS and DASH (when using 1s GOPs)
Release of a CLI 2.0 command line module that supports all API features (including live!)
Better integration experience with key Azure services like Event Grid, Logic Apps, and Functions
Updated versions of the most requested client SDKs for .NET, .NET Core, Java, Go, Ruby, Python, and Node.js.
In addition, there are updates to Azure Media Player— AMP now includes a Low Latency profile to use with the new LiveEvent entity, and its accessibility support has been enhanced with the inclusion of the closed-captioning standard CEA-708.

As part of our impending shut-down of ACS authentication and Key support in Azure Media Services, we will be removing support for ACS key management from Powershell as of next week.
If you have not begun your migration to use AAD authentication, you should begin so IMMEDIATELY!
In June we will be shutting off ACS key authentication support for all calls to Azure Media Services API. This means that all API calls and code that has not been migrated to use Azure Active Directory (AAD) auth will no longer work.
See our previous announcements on the required updates here:
ACS deprecation AnnouncementAlso see the full blog post with details on migration here:

Azure Media Services client SDKs for both Java and PHP now support Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication.
Due to the upcoming deprecation of key authentication support for the Azure Access Control service (ACS) on June 22, 2018, all Media Services customers are required to upgrade their client SDK or REST API code to support Azure AD authentication.
To get the latest Java SDK release, see the details in our Java documentation. To download the latest PHP SDK for Media Services, look for version 0.5.7 of the Microsoft/WindowsAzure package in the Packagist repository. For critical information about the deprecation of ACS, see our blog.

This is a CRITICAL reminder of an upcoming BREAKING CHANGE to your code if you are using Azure Media Services.
On June 1, 2018, we will be shutting down ACS authentication key support. This is currently the primary way most customers are authenticating with Azure Media Services. We are being forced off the ACS system due to that team's planned retirement of the backend ACS key services. As we have blogged before, we have moved to Azure Active Directory for Authentication (AAD). See my previous blog post here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-media-service-aad-auth-and-acs-deprecation/Starting in November 2017, we will be turning off the ACS key blade in the Media Services section of the Azure Portal. You will no longer be able to retrieve or rotate your existing ACS keys for authentication with Media Services. We are doing this to promote the coming critical change
more, and ask customers to move more rapidly to meet the June 1 deadline. You can still list your keys via the REST management API or through Powershell.
We are pleading directly to our customer base to IMMEDIATELY update your SDK or REST API code to use Active Directory (AAD ) authentication. Do not delay, as this will be a breaking change to your code on June 1, 2018.You production code using ACS keys will begin to fail authentication on that date.
If you have any questions, reach out on this forum or email amshelp@microsoft.com to reach our team.Thanks,

The Media Services team is very excited to announce some long awaited customer features, including both our new Standard Streaming Endpoints and Enhanced Azure CDN Integration.
Our new Standard Streaming Endpoints offer auto-scaling and the flexibility to deliver your content to virtually every device through dynamic packaging into HLS, MPEG-DASH, and Smooth Streaming as well as dynamic encryption for Microsoft PlayReady, Google Widevine, Apple Fairplay, and AES128 without needing to worry about Streaming Units. They also scale from very small to very large audiences with thousands of concurrent viewers through Azure CDN integration. The new Streaming endpoints only cost a very low monthly fee, with no additional costs when they scale up based on demand.
Moving forward, all new Media Services accounts will be created with Standard Streaming Endpoint by default. Addition to this all new media services accounts come with 15 days of free Standard Streaming Endpoint. This is great for developers who need to test out our MPEG-DASH and HLS advanced features without committing to spending for the month. Existing Media Services accounts with classic Streaming Endpoint will not be automatically migrated to Standard Streaming Endpoint, but will have the option to migrate manually. Standard Streaming Endpoints is our recommended option for virtually all streaming scenarios and audience sizes.
In addition to Standard Streaming Endpoints, we are also pleased to announce enhanced Azure CDN integration. With a single click you can integrate all the available Azure CDN providers (Akamai and Verizon) to your Streaming Endpoint including their Standard and Premium products and you can manage and configure all the related features through the Azure CDN portal. When Azure CDN is enabled for a Streaming Endpoint using Azure Media Services, data transfer charges between the Streaming Endpoint and CDN do not apply. Data transferred is instead charged at the CDN edge using CDN pricing.
You can start trying out new Standard Streaming Endpoint and CDN integration or migrate your existing endpoints to Standard Streaming Endpoint using Azure Portal (Please note that AMS is not accessible via Azure Classic portal and have a new home).
If you prefer writing code, you need to use REST 2.15 and upgrade to .NET SDK 3.8.0.5.
For more information please check our blog post and Streaming endpoints overview.

You can now monitor your usage of On-Demand Streaming for your media services accounts via the following three metrics that are now available via the Azure Media Services dashboard.
Streaming Data Out - Indicates how many Bytes of egress data has been used for On-Demand Streaming.
Streaming HTTP Errors - Indicates how many HTTP Errors have occured. This includes server errors (e.g. HTTP 500 caused by blob store or a media services component) as well as typical client errors (e.g. HTTP 404 or 403). In a future update we will provide additional granularity so that you can track these errors individually.
Streaming Requests - Indicates how many requests for data have been made for on-demand streaming.
If there are other metrics that you would like to see available for on-demand streaming, add the request to our uservoice board - https://azuremediaservices.uservoice.com/

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Azure Migrate.
Azure Migrate is offered at no additional charge and provides appliance-based, agentless discovery of your on-premises environments. It enables discovery of VMware-virtualized Windows and Linux VMs today and will enable discovery of Hyper-V environments in the future. It also provides an optional, agent-based discovery for visualizing interdependencies between machines to identify multi-tier applications. This enables you to plan your migration across three dimensions:
- Readiness: Are the machines that host my multi-tier application suitable for running in Azure?
- Rightsizing: What size will my Azure VM be, based on my machine’s configuration or utilization?
- Cost: How much will my recurring Azure costs be, taking into account discounts like Azure Hybrid Benefit?
You can get started by creating a migration project in the Azure portal. In addition...
- Get and stay informed with our documentation.
- Seek help by posting a question on our forum or contacting Microsoft Support.
- Provide feedback by posting or voting for an idea in our user voice.
Happy Migrations!

Quick Tips for former Capptain customers who are new to Azure:
- You can setup a free 30 trial of Azure if you don't have a subscription: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/
- However, to avoid losing access to your AzME trial apps when your free Azure trial expires, you can setup a "pay as you go" Azure subscription instead of a free trial: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0003p/
- Then, with a "pay as you go" account, as long as you have less than 100 monthly active users, your AzME apps are still free to use long term: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/mobile-engagement/
- You will be billed for any other Azure services in addition to AzME that you use as the standard rates: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/
- You can setup a "spending limit" to ensure that you don’t accidentally spend too much per month: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/spending-limits/
- If you want to pay for your Azure subscription by invoice instead of credit card, you can setup "pay by invoice": http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/invoicing/
- You can open a Billing or Account related SR for free from any Azure subscription: https://manage.windowsazure.com/?getsupport=true
- You can even open a Billing or Account related SR for free without an existing Azure subscription: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=544831&clcid=0x409
- You have to purchase technical support plans to be eligible to open a Technical Support SR (even though Billing or Account related SRs are free): http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/
- BizSpark members can access AzME with their BizSpark Azure benefits: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0064p/

Identity and access management is an anchor for security and top of mind for enterprise IT departments. It is key to extending anytime, anywhere access to employees, partners, and customers. Windows Azure Multi-Factor Authentication is now available to deliver increased access security and convenience for IT and end users.
In addition to entering a username and password during sign in, users also authenticate with the Windows Azure Multi-Factor Authentication app on their mobile device or via an automated phone call or text message. In order for an attacker to gain access to the user’s account, they would need to know the user’s login credentials and be in possession of the user’s phone. This increases security while using mobile devices and methods that are familiar to users.
For more information, see the article: Announcing General Availability of Windows Azure Multi-Factor Authentication
