Cannot create a new instance using install.instance as it times out as 30 minutes or errors

[rfennell]

I have been trying to get aggregator-cli setup to on a new instance, but I am having problems.

1. Downloaded the latest ZIP'd release of aggregator-cli
2. Made sure the zip did not have the blocked property, then unzipped the file
3. Using the tool, logged into Azure and Azure DevOps
4. Tried repeatedly to setup the a instance of the aggregator in Azure, but it is failing, and doing it very sloooowly at that

C:\Downloads\aggregator-cli-win-x64> .\aggregator-cli.exe install.instance --verbose --name rfado --location westeurope

I have tried the following

• Deleted the resource group and tried - same result
• Run the command a second time without deleting the resource group - same result, the only variation is whether it times out after 30min or quicker with a stream error

Is this a known issue, a random network or Azure issue, or have I missed something obvious?

Love to hear from you @rfennell. Sadly I cannot check as my Internet is down at the moment and struggling to accomplish something useful via phone's 4G.

There is nothing wrong in what you are trying. Another attempt is to create the RG in advance and pass the name as a parameter.

Update: your log shows that upload is timing out, maybe there was some change in Kudu that breaks our code.

Hi @giuliov, I have looked on the portal and it seems to have created the resources in the resource group, the problem appears to when it is uploading the function logic.

So I have these resources

And I can see load on the function

On my last test I got

[2020-06-11 16:30:50Z] Uploading runtime package to rfadoaggregator.azurewebsites.net
[2020-06-11 16:56:43Z] Upload failed with Bad Gateway
[2020-06-11 16:56:43Z] Failed uploading Runtime to rfadoaggregator.azurewebsites.net.
[2020-06-11 16:56:43Z] Failed!

So I am thing an Azure issue, I will try not using WIFI

[rfennell]

And that fixed it - as soon as a swapped to Ethernet to my router it worked.

So that is strange, as I was not aware I had any WIFI use.

Hope you broadband get sorted soon

It's an ARM template that creates the resources, then Aggregator downloads the runtime from GitHub. At last, it calls the Kudu zipdeploy API to upload said runtime (a bunch of DLLs) to the Function.
