Azure-Service-Fabric – Service Fabric Cheap Cluster Options

What is the cheapest vm sku for running a service structure cluster in Azure?

I just tried to create a 1-node cluster using DS1_V2, and I received a warning “Not enough disk space”. Then I tried the DS2_V2 promotion, and the warning disappeared.

It The price is $142.85 and you need five. So this will be $714.25 plus the total cost of use.

Is the lowest cost of the service structure cluster really about $1,000 per month?

What are the minimum requirements to run it internally?

Is it possible to deploy a virtual machine in azure, install the service structure on it and deploy to the virtual machine. (I know it will not scale, fault tolerance, etc.)

For the production environment, you are correct, you will need at least 5x Class D machines for the service structure cluster.

For the QA environment, you can set up a 3-node cluster with bronze durability level, which should reduce the cost.

For the development environment, you can use the Service Fabric Local Cluster manager, which allows You simulate a 1 node or 5 node environment on your local computer, recently there is a new option in Azure to create and run a 1 node cluster-see below.

As for capacity planning, you can find some good guidelines in the official docs.

For production workloads

  • The recommended VM SKU is Standard D3 or Standard D3_V2 or equivalent with a minimum of 14 GB of local SSD.
  • The minimum supported use VM SKU is Standard D1 or Standard D1_V2 or equivalent with a minimum of 14 GB of local SSD.
  • Partial core VM SKUs like Standard A0 are not supported for production workloads
  • Standard A1 SKU is specifically not supported for production workloa ds for performance reasons.
