How to connect services from separate Azure subscriptions
Platform services (e.g. Azure SQL DB, WebApps, DocumentDB, Storage,…) has public DNS addresses. So, it’s simple.
Non-publically visible VMs can be connected through VNETs
Using VPN Gateways, usable for cross-region VNETs
Using VNET Peering (public preview from 27th july) inside region VNETs
With spending limit activated suitable only for dev/test scenarios
IP address space of connecting VNETs cannot overlap

41. How to detect DB failures in a web app
How to detect DB failures in a web app? - if it is outage of AzureSQLDB, then Azure SQL Server has status „Degraded“. Detect this status in application with REST API (see detail ) - if database is not connectable, catch error in application ("unable to connect" message , error code ) - if database is not functioning according to your application logic (e.g. all connections rejected in last 3 minutes) How to automatically switch to the secondary DB and upgrade the secondary DB to primary with SQL Database Active Geo-Replication enabled? - primary and secondary has different connection strings, application has to know both and it has to know, which one is primary - if it is outage, datacenter will automatically send command to change secondary to primary without any data loss - if you will initiate failover and primary is inaccessible, there can be data loss of 5 seconds. You can initiate unplanned failover with REST API (see detail or through T-SQL on secondary “ALTER DATABASE <MyDB>   FORCE_FAILOVER_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS;” - if you will initiate failover and primary is accessible, there is no data loss, if you will initiate planned failover with REST API (see detail ) or through T-SQL on secondary “ALTER DATABASE <MyDB> FAILOVER;”
