## FAQ
## Can I use my own VHD?
No, at this time we only support the default Docker for Azure VHD.
## Can I specify the type of Storage Account I use for my VM instances?
Not at this time, but it is on our roadmap for future releases.
## Which Azure regions will Docker for Azure work with?
Docker for Azure should work with all supported Azure Marketplace regions.
## Where are my container logs?
All container logs are aggregated within the `xxxxlog` storage account.
## Where do I report problems or bugs?
Send an email to <docker-for-iaas@docker.com> or post to the [Docker for Azure](https://github.com/docker/for-azure) GitHub repositories.
In Azure, if your resource group is misbehaving, please run the following diagnostic tool from one of the managers - this will collect your docker logs and send them to Docker:
```bash
$ docker-diagnose
OK hostname=manager1
OK hostname=worker1
OK hostname=worker2
Done requesting diagnostics.
Your diagnostics session ID is 1234567890-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please provide this session ID to the maintainer debugging your issue.
```
> **Note**: Your output will be slightly different from the above, depending on your swarm configuration.
## Metrics
Docker for Azure sends anonymized minimal metrics to Docker (heartbeat). These metrics are used to monitor adoption and are critical to improve Docker for Azure.
## How do I run administrative commands?
By default when you SSH into a manager, you will be logged in as the regular username: `docker` - It is possible however to run commands with elevated privileges by using `sudo`.
For example to ping one of the nodes, after finding its IP via the Azure/Azure portal (e.g. 10.0.0.4), you could run:
```bash
$ sudo ping 10.0.0.4
```
> **Note**: Access to Docker for Azure and Azure happens through a shell container that itself runs on Docker.
## What are the different Azure Regions?
All regions can be found here: [Microsoft Azure Regions](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/regions/)
An exerpt of the above regions to use when you create your service principal are:
