Azure SQL Managed Instances
After many years working with different “flavours” of SQL server in Azure from its true PaaS form to SQL server in AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) it’s time to look at SQL Managed Instances – you will notice that I call it SQL MI.
Azure Kubernetes Service – Handy Commands
Just some handy commands to use via kubectl. I found these useful for various reasons so hopefully you will too.
Creating SQL Databases in AKS with PVC – Part 2

Creating SQL server Databases in AKS – Part 1

Azure SQL Managed Instance Versions
Just a really quick FYI for the readers. If you are using Managed Instances in Azure (If not, why not?) and you connect vis SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) and run the classic commands SELECT @@VERSION, what will you see?
