Speed of Azure Dreamspark plan

149 Views Asked by At

Is it normal, that Azure running free Dreamspark plan is so slow, that pinging through cmd on Windows shows that all send packets were lost? Or am I doing something wrong?

Dreamspark is a program that grants you access to Azure, is not a service in itself.

If you are using Azure Web Apps, the fact that you created the service through a Dreamspark-type subscription has nothing to do with the service performance.

Web app performance is tied to your app code, the pricing/performance tier, and things like your traffic and instance number (among other things).

By default, you cannot PING an Azure Web App for security reasons. If you want to test site availability or geolocation response times, you can use App Insights to create your Availability Test.

Furthermore, App Insights or NewRelic are profiling tools you can use to find performance bottleneck in your code or resource consumption.

Hope it helps.
