I am using Azure Blob storage. Everything work fine, but sometime i get following error intermittently: 

"$type": "System.Web.Http.HttpError, System.Web.Http",
"Message": "An error has occurred.",
"ExceptionMessage": "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.",
"ExceptionType": "System.OutOfMemoryException",
"StackTrace": "   at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.Tasks.Task`1.get_Result()
   at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.Tasks.Task`1.ExecuteAndWait()
   at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.TaskImplHelper.ExecuteImplWithRetry(Func`1 impl, RetryPolicy policy)
   at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.CloudBlobContainer.SetPermissions(BlobContainerPermissions permissions, BlobRequestOptions options)

It's really hard to recreate the issue on my local. Any solutions ?

  • yep. Scale the Azure Web Apps tier. I assume you use Free or Shared, which both have memory limits - 1024 MB per hour. Which is calculated as Peak memory use. If your app reaches 1024MB memory usage, your site will be suspended and you will also get an Out-of-memory exception. – astaykov Jul 14 '15 at 18:33
  • I am using Standard app tier with 7 GB memory. – Sabby62 Jul 14 '15 at 18:38
  • Is it I am getting exception when I am setting permission for blob container ? – Sabby62 Jul 14 '15 at 18:50

    Have you looked at how much data is stored in your storage account? Overall the storage account can hold 500TB of data, however, there are other [quotas](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/azure-subscription-service-limits/#storage-limits) and [performance targets](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-scalability-targets) to be aware of – cory-fowler Jul 15 '15 at 03:12
  • Can you provide the code that you are using to call SetPermissions? – Tamra Myers - Microsoft Jul 17 '15 at 01:36

The following Stack Overflow thread might help C# : Out of Memory exception. To summarize, if you haven't already, try changing your platform target to x64 and see if that helps.

There was memory leak in the application with Windsor IOC not releasing object for GC. That was the root problem for this error.

  • With respect, Windsor will release everything you tell it to. Failing to follow very simple guidance for the use of Castle Windsor ("Release everything you Resolve") is a common cause of memory leaks. – Phil Degenhardt Aug 03 '15 at 02:57
