How to Migrate a Simple Web Server from Azure to Alibaba Cloud

This article was originally published on Alibaba Cloud. Thank you for supporting the partners who make SitePoint possible.

The cloud, despite its ubiquity, is still an emerging technology with vast innovations across multiple industries. Owing to its flexibility and advanced security model, organizations have already started to move most of their IT workloads to the cloud. Some of the high-level reasons to move to cloud are listed below:

Fast and efficient deployment

Less or no capital investment

Reliability, scalability, sustainability & resource pooling

Pay as you go, with no monthly commitment

Highly automated with utility based system

On-demand service

Seamless integration is what we all expect when it comes to information technology, especially with migration. However, this is easier said than done. Cloud migration is fairly complicated because it involves so many elements, from picking a suitable operating system (OS) to selecting the best geographical region for our deployments. Migration also involves some standard processes and considerations and is no small feat.

Migration strategies differ on a case-by-case basis, however as a whole, cloud migration should be based on best practices from previous examples. An effective migration strategy should maintain a reliable, real-time migration, with less or zero down time. Migration can be broadly categorized into physical to virtual (cloud migration), virtual to virtual (multi-cloud), and virtual to physical (hybrid cloud). Migration can have any combination of these categories.

In this article, we are focused on physical to virtual and virtual to virtual migration. Here the target is going to be the Alibaba Cloud platform. This whole process involves Alibaba tools for image conversion, OSS for storage, and some third-party tools to synchronize the data in real time.

For a successful migration, the standard process and procedures below are applicable for most organizations.

Cloud ready assessment (involves infra assessment to decide which workloads can be moved to the cloud)

Migration kick-off meeting (listing down servers, application, down time preparation, cutover and other requirements)

Creating a backup plan – A migration plan is incomplete without a backup plan. There is always a non-zero probability for errors to happen in a migration process, and damage is often irreversible.

Schedule migration, notify users if there is any down time expected during cutover.

Make a checklist of functions.

Post migration testing before moving to production, to ensure all are met in terms of functions, operations.

Cloud migration can be perform in two ways: application level migration and virtual machine (VM) migration. The choice is based on the applications running on virtual/physical servers; we may need to plan which one will be best suitable for migration.

Application Migration

During migration assessment, we need to check how many applications can support real time migration. For example, Microsoft Exchange can use native DAG; SQL replication tools can be used for database mirroring.

Irrespective of any application and platform, it is always better to get an insight from application experts. Typically, a migration expert will create similar infrastructure as the source on the target platform (such as Alibaba Cloud), and then establish a connection using VPN/MPLS to create site-site connection. Some applications can simply be migrated using public IP without VPN.

Do real time replication/migration using native methods and switchover. Switchover/cutover requires several steps to be performed by administrators like changing DNS, routing configuration, firewall customization and so on.

VM Migration (Image Migration)

If there is no available method for application migration, or if the application level migration is complicated, VM migration is an alternative. Also known as image migration, VM migration is the best option for any organization to simplify the migration process.

This method is sometimes simply referred to as migrating from a platform to another platform. Alibaba Cloud runs on the KVM/XEN platform, so we need to ensure that it has all required drives to support automation, licensing, and all other cloud dependencies.

There are few migration scenarios listed below:

On premise (IDC) to Alibaba Cloud

Traditional virtualization platform to Alibaba Cloud

Other public cloud to Alibaba Cloud

One region of Alibaba Cloud to another region of Alibaba Cloud

Alibaba Cloud Migration Tool

Irrespective of any source platform Alibaba Cloud has a tool called Alibaba Cloud Migration Tool (Cloud Migration Tool) to perform migration to create ECS instances. Alibaba Cloud invests resources into various categories of image migration to carry out the process with ease and effectiveness.

Before you use the Alibaba Cloud Migration Tool, you need to consider the following:

The on-premises server can access the Internet for uninterruptedly transferring data to Alibaba Cloud ECS console.

The system time of the on-premises server is synchronized with the real time. Otherwise, an error indicating abnormal TimeStamp is recorded in the migration log file.

To enable all the server configuration successfully after the migration, we recommend that you install cloud-init for your on-premises servers.

For on-premises servers running Windows OS

The go2aliyun_client.exe and Rsyncbinrsync.exe programs are not restricted by firewall on the server.

The system start loader is normal.

Run Alibaba Cloud Migration Tool as an administrator.

For on-premises servers running Linux OS

The go2aliyun_client program is not restricted by firewall on the server.

The Rsync library has been installed.

oCentOS: Run yum install rsync –y. oUbuntu: Run apt-get install rsync –y. oDebian: Run apt-get install rsync –y. oOther distributions: See the installation documents of the distributions on their official website.

The Xen or Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) driver is installed. For more information about how to install a KVM driver, see install virtio driver.

SELinux must has been deactivated. You can temporarily deactivate SELinux by running setenforce 0.

Run Alibaba Cloud Migration Tool as a root user.

If the kernel of your on-premises Linux servers is too old and the version of GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) is earlier than 1.9. You may update the boot loader GRUB to a version later than 1.9.

The migration process is as follows:

Request for migration tool from this link

After approval, decompress the folder at source and modify the JSON Script as needed

JSON Script needs to have the value of AccessID, Secret Key, Region ID, Image name, System disk size & Data disk

For more details refer to this link and refer to below screenshots to validate the process.

Sample Migration Process

Below are the steps performed to migrate a simple web server from Azure to Alibaba cloud.

Operating System: Windows Server 2016

1. Extract the folder and locate JSON > Open with > Notepad

2. Modify as below. Refer to this link for more parameters. To create and obtain new access key, refer here.

{ "access_id": "ENTER_YOUR_ACCESS_ID", "secret_key": "ENTER_YOUR_SECRET_KEY", "region_id": "me-east-1", "image_name": "KingsonWS", "system_disk_size": 60, "platform": "", "architecture": "", "data_disks": [], "bandwidth_limit": 0 }

3. Save the file and run go2aliyun_client tool as an administrator.

8 Reasons SQL Server on Linux is a Big Deal

Microsoft company declared, unexpectedly or preface, that it was doing the previously unthinkable: making a form of SQL Server for a Linux system Unix.

This shakeup has effects far beyond SQL Server. Here are eight ideas into why this issues — for Microsoft company, its customers, and the rest of the Linux- and cloud-powered world.

1. This is huge

The information alone are seismic. Microsoft organization has for the first time released one of its server products on a system other than windows Server.

Your desired evidence Microsoft organization is a very different organization now than it was even 2 or 3 years ago? Here it is. Under Bob Ballmer’s “Linux is cancer” rule, the most Microsoft organization could collect was a grudging entrance of Linux’s lifestyle. Now there’s the sense that a linux systemunix is an important portion of Microsoft windows future and an important element in its ongoing success.

2. Microsoft organization isn’t going free with its server products

You can definitely fall the thought of Microsoft organization open-sourcing its server items. Even on a realistic level, this is a no-go; the legal clearances alone for all the first- and third-party perform that went into any one of Microsoft windows server items would take permanently.

Don’t consider this a prelude to Microsoft organization SQL Server becoming more like PostgreSQL or MySQL/MariaDB. Rather, it’s Microsoft organization following in the actions of providers like Oracle. That data resource massive has no problem generating an entirely exclusive server item for A linux systemunix and a A linux systemunix submission to go with it

3. This is a punch at Oracle

Another purpose, straight deduced from the above, is that this shift is a try across Oracle’s bow — taking the battle for data resource company straight to one of the key systems.

Oracle has the most income in the professional data resource industry, but chalk that up to its expensive and complicated certification. However, Microsoft organization SQL Server has the biggest number of certified circumstances. Linux-bound clients looking for a commercial-quality data base supported by a major source won’t have to stay for Oracle or consider establishing cases of Microsoft windows Server simply to get a SQL Server fix.

4. MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL are in no danger

This aspect goes almost without saying. Few if any MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL customers would change to SQL Server — even its free SQL Server Show version. Those who want an effective, commercial-grade free data resource already have PostgreSQL as an option, and those who opt for MySQL/MariaDB because it’s practical and acquainted won’t worry about SQL Server.

5. We’re still unaware about the details

So far Microsoft organization has not given any information regarding which versions of SQL Server will be available for A linux systemunix. In addition to SQL Server Show, Microsoft organization offers Conventional, Business SKUs, all with commonly different function places. Preferably, it will offer all versions of SQL Server, but it’s more realistic for the organization to start with the version that has the biggest industry (Standard, most likely) and perform external.

6. There’s a lot in SQL Server to like

For those not well-versed in SQL Server’s function set, it might be confusing the attraction the item keeps for enterprise clients. But SQL Server 2014 and 2016 both presented features attractive to everyone trying to build modern enterprise company applications: in-memory handling by way of desk pinning, support for JSON, secured back-ups, Azure-backed space for storage and catastrophe restoration, incorporation with R for statistics, and so on. Having access to all this and never have to leap systems — or at the very least make room for Microsoft windows Server somewhere — is a reward.

7. The financial aspects of the cloud made this all but inevitable

Linux will stay attractive as a focus on system because it’s both cost-effective and well-understood as a reasoning atmosphere. As Seltzer claims, “SQL Server for A linux systemunix keeps Microsoft organization in the image even as clients shift more of their handling into public and private atmosphere.” A globe where Microsoft organization doesn’t have a existence on systems other than Microsoft windows is a globe without Microsof organization, period.

8. This is only the beginning

Seltzer also considers other Microsoft company server programs, like Sharepoint Server and Exhange Server, could make the leap to A linux systemunix in time.

The greatest adhering factor is not whether the potential viewers for those items prevails on A linux systemunix, but whether the items have dependencies on Microsoft windows that are not quickly waved off. SQL Server might have been the first applicant for a Linux system Unix implementation in part because it had the tiniest number of such dependencies.

Creating an MVP Cheaper: Firebase Instead of Backend

Firebase is a toolkit and infrastructure which purpose is to help you build better apps and grow a successful business. Firebase was bought by Google and now it is constantly improving in order to make your experience much more convenient and productive. It helps you develop high-quality apps, build a prototype or an MVP (minimum viable product), grow your user base, and earn more money as a result. Each feature works great independently, and they perform even better together. Firebase contains several free modules: Analytics, App Indexing, Authentication, Cloud Messaging, Crash Reporting, Dynamic Links, Invites, Notifications & Remote Config. Firebase also contains several paid modules for extending your possibilities while developing an MVP: Realtime Database, Storage, Hosting and Test Lab. If you want to know more about the paid modules, check the pricing here. You can also check out this page, if you are interested in development of mobile apps.

Build a Prototype Using Firebase Modules

Proceeding to our research, let’s look at the modules which Firebase offers us from a much detailed point:

Analytics. This module is quite similar to Google Analytics. It collects statistical data about the application and offers wide range of filters and parameters. This module helps you to promote your application as well.

Auth. This module was created for user authorization. It supports authorization by email/password, Google account, Facebook, Twitter, github and guest authorization. In admin panel you can see the statistics on who and when signs in to the application. You can also add, delete or disable accounts with the help of this module.

Realtime Database. This tool is more powerful comparing to the others listed. It is a cloud-hosted NoSQL database, which stores data in JSON in a form of a pair: key-value. Nevertheless this module can not substitute SQL database, Realtime database has two major features which are not present in ordinary SQL. The first one is synchronization of the data. It means that  you don’t need to send new requests to the server, when you are working with the data and some changes are being made simultaneously by somebody else. Just add a callback and you will receive all the changes in this callback. The second feature is the possibility to work offline. When the connection will be available, all your changes will be synchronized and other users will be able to see what has changed. Realtime Database has different functions like sorting out and filtering query requests, or creating rules for accessing the data.

Crash Reporting. This module collects the data about application’s crashes. You can see the detailed information about the device where the crash occurs and in which row of code it happened exactly.

Notifications. This module allows your app to send push notifications to the specific group of users or all of them. For sending a notification you need to fill only several fields in the admin panel and press the “send” button. As easy as that.

Remote Config. This module helps you to create parameters in the admin panel and these parameters are synchronized with an application in real time. There is a limit in synchronization per hour, but this limit is quite big. And if you need to create a parameter which will be updated quite frequently, you can use the Database module.

Storage. As you can already guess from its name, this module can be used in order to save files on Google Cloud. The number of functions is the one we are all accustomed to: you can upload, download and delete all the files from the cloud. For example, you can store avatars of users or other images which are uploaded by them.

AdMob. This is the module for monetization of the app. For example, our developers tried to insert a simple advertising banner in one of our applications. It turned out quite simple and took only several rows of code.

Implementing the Firebase is a quick and easy process. With intuitive APIs packaged into a single SDKs for iOS, Android, JavaScript and C++, you can focus on solving your customer’s problems and not waste time on building complex infrastructure.

Create a Mobile App With Firebase: Popular Customer’s Experience

In 2016 some modules were in beta release but many companies had already been using Firebase. Now all modules are officially released. From the list below we can see which company has already chosen Firebase:

PicCollage uses next modules for the app: Analytics, Remote Config, Crash Reporting, Notifications.

“Our product decisions are based on quick experiments, data analysis, and iteration. Firebase makes this process more efficient through its combined Remote Config and Analytics dashboard.” — PicCollage team.

Fabulous uses next features: Analytics, Authentication, Remote Config, Crash Reporting, Notifications, Dynamic Links, Invites.

“We were always playing catch-up to try and integrate all of our separate tools together. Firebase just replaced most of these services, and everything was already streamlined for us.“— Amine Laadhari, CTO/Co-Founder.

Shazam uses next Firebase features: Analytics, Crash Reporting, Dynamic Links.

“Firebase was an obvious solution to our challenges. We were confident that we could rely on Google’s scale to accurately measure both user behavior and critical errors.” — Iordanis Giannakakis, Lead Android Developer.

Skyscanner uses next features: Analytics, Realtime Database, Crash Reporting, Dynamic Links, Invites.

“We trust Firebase to provide a reliable and scalable mobile platform to support our business needs. Firebase was easy to implement, which allowed us to pick up benefits from multiple services in just a few days.” — Bálint Orosz, Head of App Product.

This list doesn’t end on this, and we can surely say, that Firebase is a reliable toolkit with convincing number of modules for you to create a mobile app, make a prototype or build and run a website.

Google constantly improves Firebase, so that every feature corresponds to the latest tech trends and gives you more possibilities. Creating an MVP with the help of Firebase eventually allows you to run the successful business by seeing how the app is used and improving it. You can refuze using backend server if you don’t need to collect huge amounts of data or you don’t have a difficult database structure.

“I’ve been testing this toolkit and can make a conclusion, that for prototypes, MVPs or portfolio projects you can boldly use Firebase without backend server, hence much cheaper, and you will surely be surprised how easy, but productively it can turn out to work with.” – Sergey, Senior Android Developer in Mobilunity

Nowadays many companies and startups are in search of programmers for their piling-up ideas like an MVP development. This is why outstaffing solution is getting more and more popular due to the lack of professionals on the local markets of many countries. Our company has great experience in web and mobile app development and we can surely offer perfect candidates, who can develop unique high-quality products.

We can build a prototype for you using the top-notch techs like Firebase.

ISJSON() Function in SQL Server 2016

ISJSON() Function in SQL Server 2016

Lot of web services and Web APIs are using JSON these days, primarily as their data interchange format. The inability of the older versions of SQL Server to parse, store and process JSON data has been a hindrance. This makes the integration of JSON tinto SQL Server as one of the most popular features of SQL Server 2016.

SQL Server 2016 provides built-in support for storing, managing and parsing…

“JSON Support”: One of the new features introduced in MS SQL Server 2016

Hello friends,

Hope, you are doing fine while reading this post!

MS SQL Server 2016 has introduced one of the coolest feature in this version. Now, we can also process the sql data into json format and also read / process json data/files back to sql server tables.

Before moving ahead, it is assumed that you know what JSON is. If not, then let me make you understand on a high level.

WHAT IS JSON?
