SQL Performance

DECEMBER 17, 2019

One initial, easy step to moving your SQL Server on-premises workloads to the cloud is using Azure VMs to run your SQL Server workloads in an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) scenario. One important choice you will still have to make is what type and size of Azure virtual machine you want to use for your existing SQL Server workload.

This article analyzes cloud workloads, delving into their forms, functions, and how they influence the cost and efficiency of your cloud infrastructure. This applies to both virtual machines and container-based deployments. Hybrid cloud environments that integrate on-premises infrastructure with cloud services.

Unfortunately, container security is much more difficult to achieve than security for more traditional compute platforms, such as virtual machines or bare metal hosts. Many good security tools provide that function, and benchmarks from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) are clear and prescriptive. Why is container security tricky?

It was also a virtual machine that lacked low-level hardware profiling capabilities, so I wasn't able to do cycle analysis to confirm that the 10% was entirely frame pointer-based.

If you haven’t yet considered using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), this is the right time to consider it so that you avoid ending up with a forest of manually deployed function instances. These served as our benchmark when creating our Lambda monitoring extension. Top enterprise use-cases for AWS Lambda.

Distributing accounts across the infrastructure is an architectural decision, as a given account often has similar usage patterns, languages, and sizes for their Lambda functions. The virtual CPU is turned off. This is another measure to evenly redistribute the load within the AWS Lambda infrastructure.

Some of the most important elements include: No single point of failure (SPOF): You must eliminate any SPOF in the database environment, including any potential for an SPOF in physical or virtual hardware. Without enough infrastructure (physical or virtualized servers, networking, etc.), there cannot be high availability.
