You need to install and configure open-ssh client in your container instance as follows: So, the steps can be slightly different depending up on your Linux flavor Note: I have used ubuntu container Image in my azure tenant. Here is how you can connect the Azure container Image through your favorite SSH client like Putty or FileZilla like file transfer client for easy file access and transfer. Slow, hard to read, and more or less impossible to figure out the cost for a given instance.Connect Azure Container Instance through SSH client and FileZilla like client to transfer files easily Microsoft billing info is the exact opposite. Amazon billing info is super-easy to understand, super-fast, and easy to find out exactly how much a given instance is costing. So far the cost has been in the $100 range for each vendor.

I have yet to post the billing info, but wanted to wait until we are done with the VMs.

Both vendors responded within a day, pretty ok for free support. I wasn't very interested in paying $300 for the nicer Azure support, or $100 for the nicer Amazon support. What about support you ask? For the fun of it I also reviewed the various support options available, posting a questions about upload speeds. Shorthand, for this scenario Amazon AWS was slightly faster for transfers then the Azure equivalent, but all in all, it sure proved that cloud could be used to solve a business problem quickly.

10 files at the same time (again, maximum for the FileZilla client): 75 – 90 MB/s.

This time the result was slightly better. Once the FTP Server was up on the EC2 instance, and the ports opened, I started to transfer files. Worth mentioning, this was my first time using Amazon AWS, but it was pretty straight forward, and their portal (console) used to manage the machines was actually quite a bit faster compared to the Azure portal. I did the same configuration of the VM as I did for my Azure VM, installed the FileZilla FTP Server etc. Note: Unlike Azure, Amazon allowed me to create a 4 TB data disk directly so I was happy with that. Next vendor to test was Amazon AWS, so I signed up for Amazon AWS, and created a t2.large EC2 instance which had the following configuration: Uploading files using the FileZilla FTP Client. The DreamHack event has a dedicated 40 gigabit Internet line, it is actually my local gigabit card limiting the upload/download. Transferring only 2 TB on that speed would take about 7-8 hours, and before you make the comment, NO, it is NOT our Internet connection.

10 files at the same time (maximum for the FileZilla client): 75-80 MB/s.

Once the FTP Server was up, and the firewall ports opened, I started to transfer files from the event, and got the following upload result: Better than having every script-kiddie out there trying to hack your FTP Server 🙂 Uploading Note: If you know what IP addresses that will connect to this server, limit the firewall scope to them. In the Azure portal, open the same ports. Open up the ports (inbound / outbound for 21,9).ĥ. Enable FTP over TLS to have some security (port 990).Ĥ. In the passive mode configuration, add your public IP address as the external interface.ģ. In the cloud VM, install FileZilla FTP Server, and configure for passive mode, and set a port range. Here is a detailed guide:, and in addition you find a basic checklist below:ġ. Setting up FileZilla FTP Server in a cloud VM is pretty straight forward. So I used the free FileZilla FTP Server instead.

Now, even though Windows Server 2012 R2 does have a FTP server natively, via IIS, it's kind of limited, and difficult to work with. Maximum size per disk for this type was 1 TB, so I created 4 of them, and then created a storage pool of 4 TB inside the VM. Or rather I tried, just to learn that I couldn't.

Note: When I added the 4 TB data disk to it.

Since I've been using Microsoft Azure before, I decided to start there, and I created a D2 series VM in Azure with the following configuration: Worth mentioning is that we needed to transfer 2 – 3 TB of data to/from multiple machines running multiple OS platforms during the event.Ī photo from one of the halls at DreamHack. Simply spinning up a VM with a FTP server for the week, and then turn off the VM once we were done at the event. to share the content, I decided this was a good opportunity, and a real use case, for the cloud. During the event we learned that we needed to upload some video-material, and even though we obviously could have used OneDrive, Dropbox, etc. I've been volunteering for this event quite many years, and this time around I was editing videos and providing support to one of the teams. This week I've been volunteering at an event called DreamHack, which is the largest digital festival in the world.
