SQL Server and
Microsoft Azure
SQL Server and Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
Supported Versions

Supported Features
All SQL Server features supported
SQL Server Provisioning
Cloud-first using stock images, bring your own server / VHD, capture cloud images

Pay by the hour or migrate your own license via Software Assurance **
Bring your own License
Create your own Image
1. Create a VM based on base Windows Server image
2. RDP into server
3. Follow instructions for creating a sysprepped image of
SQL Server: http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/ee210664.aspx

5. Capture the VM
Full Production Environment
Development and Test Environments
Common Scenarios
Cloud-based backup of on-premises
data
SQL Server Always On w/ cloudbased secondary's
Running SQL Server in a Microsoft Azure VM
Storage Recommendations
Verify Disk Cache Settings on Data Disks (See whitepaper link below)
Avoid using OS drive for databases
Put database and transaction log files on separate drives
Use SQL Server File Groups instead of Disk Striping
Database Recommendations
Consider using database page compression to reduce I/O
High Availability Recommendations
Consider latency between primary and replica when choosing sync mode
Use Availability Sets
More at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=306266
More on Storage
Performance Considerations
Do not use the temporary disk (D:\) (including for TempDB)
Use SQL file groups across multiple disks instead of disk striping
Put logs, data and backup on separate disks
Disable geo-replication on storage account for consistency
Remember storage account capacity planning.
20,000 IOPS per Storage Account – 500 IOPS per disk
Consider compressing any data files when transferring in/out of Microsoft Azure.

Migrating to Microsoft Azure
Right-size the VMs
Cost impact – will pay compute, storage and bandwidth charges

Security
Security Considerations
Similar practices as on-premises
Regulatory Compliance - Microsoft Azure Trust Center
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/trust-center/
Remove unused public endpoints
Consider a Point to Site or Site to Site VNET for administration
Set ACL to limit IPs and/or subnets

Introducing SQL Database
Delivers Database-as-a-Service functionality,
based on SQL Server and hosted in Microsoft
Azure
Focuses on predictable performance,
scalability, business continuity, data
protection, zero administration, and familiar
tools
Service Tiers
Predictable performance and business continuity
Predictable Performance
Performance Level
•
•
•
Measured in Database Throughput Units (DTUs)
DTU = unit of measurement for power of combined CPU, memory, physical
reads, and transaction log writes
DTUs allow comparison of resources that power different performance
levels
Transaction Rate
• Transactions per units of time (in benchmark testing)
Predictability
• Consistency of response time

SharePoint Support
on Microsoft Azure
Product Support
SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013
supports the hosted virtualization
solution of Microsoft, as well as
required technologies, such as
Microsoft SQL Server, when these
products and technologies are
deployed on the Microsoft Azure
platform.
FAST Support
Do not support Microsoft FAST
Search Server 2010 for SharePoint
deployments on Microsoft Azure.
SharePoint 2013 Trial
Farm install wizard not executed
Not configured for single-server
install (best for multiple servers – AD
server and SQL Server)
Can be upgraded to fully licensed
version
VM Gallery
SharePoint Architecture Tips
IOPS Most Important Factor
Optimize SQL Server Storage
Only SharePoint is on the C: drive
Scale Out Not Up
Move content databases to separate SQL Servers
Move search databases to separate SQL Servers
Add more WFE for scaling SharePoint services
Add dedicated Search Servers and SQL Server
Microsoft Azure and SharePoint Tips
Remember: Availability Sets give your VMs hardware level high availability
Have the load balancer help determine when your web front ends are available for additional HA.
Deploying and managing SharePoint in the cloud can be scripted.
Remember a Stopped VM doesn’t charge you!
SharePoint 2013 Deployment
Option 1 – PowerShell Automation Scripts
PowerShell Scripts that use Remote PowerShell for automated deployment of Active Directory, SQL
Server and SharePoint 2013.
Two Sample Configurations Available (uses Trial Image)
HighlyAvailable and SingleVMs
Download from GitHub
