Many organizations are choosing Microsoft Azure as their Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for building new cloud applications or migrating their existing applications to the cloud. However, many of these organizations find that the techniques they used for monitoring and managing application performance in the data center are no longer effective in the cloud; they need a solution that can deliver code-level insight into application performance no matter where the application is hosted.
AppDynamics is an application performance management (APM) solution that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Azure. AppDynamics offers visibility into .NET code execution and Microsoft Azure services out of the box, allowing application owners to rapidly troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and optimize the performance of their Microsoft Azure applications.
AppDynamics supports the following environments on Microsoft Azure:
Azure Cloud Services (PaaS)
Including web & worker roles
Virtual Machines (IaaS)
Remote Service Detection
Microsoft Azure Service Bus
Microsoft Azure Queue
Windows Azure Remote Services:
Azure Blob
Azure Queue
Microsoft Service Bus
Data Storage
Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
AppDynamics automatically detects all your application components in Microsoft Azure, including Microsoft Azure services like Azure Service Bus, Azure Message Queue and Azure Blob Service. The Application Flowmap shows all your application’s dependencies and the response time between each tier.
AppDynamics is the only application performance management solution that instruments every line of code out of the box. With AppDynamics you can rapidly drill down to the .NET function call responsible for latency, allowing you to troubleshoot bottlenecks and optimize your code faster than ever.
With AppDynamics you can baseline the performance of your .NET applications before and after you migrate to the cloud, allowing you to benchmark the performance of your applications and ensure that the transition to the cloud has had a positive effect on your end users.
You can sign up for AppDynamics Pro right in the Microsoft Azure store. All you have to do is choose your plan, install the NuGet package and deploy your application with Visual Studio to start monitoring. Read the how-to guide to learn more.
