Hi Jason thanks for the reply.<br />
<br />
So from on Prem hosts and guests I understand. But this is a vm on a MSFT host. Is the metric allowing me to see performance stats from the host?

It may give you some stats. Select it and see. I don't have much experience with azure in particular, I've only used it once for a short period of time. My first post was just an explanation of the host vs guest OS.

Thanks all the same Jason. Has anyone else an idea of what I'm seeing in Azure. I didn't realise as tenants we had access to the underlying resource, even from a view performance perspective. Can anyone confirm?

Hi all. Hopefully a no-brainer for someone. <br />
I have my test 2012r2 VM in azure. I have gone to the VM &gt;&nbsp;monitoring &gt;&nbsp;metrics. <br />
My question - If i select sub-service (please see added image) i get the option of switching between the Guest and Host. What does either mean in this context because i am using a vm guest, so why the host option - what's that exactly?<br />
Thanks all.<br />

Hi all. Hopefully a no-brainer for someone.

My question - If i select sub-service (please see added image) i get the option of switching between the Guest and Host. What does either mean in this context because i am using a vm guest, so why the host option - what's that exactly?
Thanks all.

Azure Metrics question

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
