Now that we have a Managed Instance built, the next question is how do we get data across? I will break this up into separate posts but the lesson for this blog post is ANALYSIS FIRST!
Honestly, there will probably be less work needed to make the data compatible for Managed Instance, this is very true if comparing to the true PaaS offering of Azure SQL DB, but we should always check before migrating.
First step login into the Azure portal and find SQL Managed Instance and click create. Yes you can find these tutorials all online but this is my thinking and opinions on some key areas.
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.
Just some handy commands to use via kubectl. I found these useful for various reasons so hopefully you will too.
Last week I created the below with a dummy database and is something that I will do against SQL server but this time that has a persistent volume claim.
