Add support for Azure SQL Managed Instance

Customers using EAM with investments in SQL Server (sort of Microsoft shop) and Azure as preferred cloud are more likely to prefer MAS Manage on Azure with managed database offering during migration. At present, two of the managed database offering on Azure are Azure Sql Database and Azure Sql Managed Instance as seen in attachment which are not supported by MAS Manage.

Expected Benefits to the customer

  • Automated backup

  • 99.99% Uptime

  • 100% compatability(almost) with On-prem sql server including access to Temp Database, system databases, Copy only-backup, cross database queries and machine learning services.

Risk Management

Manage Upgrade risks with compatibility certification - keep compatability level of database identical and restore database to newer database engine version. Refer Comptability matrix for comparison between On-prem and Azure database version.


ASK:

Is there a regression test suite or perf test that can be run against Azure Sql Managed Instance?

Initial Results

Quick Deployment of MAS Manage 8.5 with Azure Sql Database seems to be successful, refer screenshots. Launch options are available on https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.AzureSQL(if you have Azure subscription) or refer MS-SQL-PaaS-IaaS-options in attachment.
