So this means that we cannot use Ping to verify that the virtual machine is actually online on the Internet. Any connections exceeding a default latency are deemed to be unavailable. Note: Ping uses the ICMP protocol to measure the latency of the connection between a local machine and a remote machine. Any traffic entering the virtual network must pass through a load balancer, and this balancer is filtering ICMP traffic. The only possible connection to that virtual machine is via the Internet. Someone has deployed an Azure virtual machine. The following diagram depicts this simple example. And you’ll be left scratching your head on step three because no matter what you do with Azure endpoints or NAT rules, you won’t be able to ping that virtual machine over the Internet. The first step should go pretty well, and the second step should make you wonder about how you can use all that bandwidth. Try to ping the Azure virtual machine from a remote location.Probably run a broadband speed test from the Azure virtual machine for laughs and giggles.The following table shows the endpoints to change.
Azure doesn’t currently offer local social network integration (that is, a social identity provider).Īzure China differs from Azure global, so any Azure service endpoints from Azure global sources, such sample code or published documentation, must be changed. Create a social marketing strategy specifically tailored for the social networks in China, such as WeChat and Sina Weibo. Globally popular social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, are blocked. Create a China-specific social network presence.Optimize your site for Baidu, the most frequently used search engine in China, by using a search engine optimization (SEO) audit tool. Host your video locally or on Chinese video hosting sites, such as Youku, Qiyi, Tudou, or use Azure Media Services. Don't embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo.For example, replace Google Maps with Baidu Maps, and use self-hosted fonts instead of Google fonts.
For best results, your site might need to avoid using Google services. Google, along with all of its services, is blocked in China.
