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. You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario.

Think of containers as the packaging for microservices that separate the content from its environment – the underlying operating system and infrastructure. A standard Docker container can run anywhere, on a personal computer (for example, PC, Mac, Linux), in the cloud, on local servers, and even on edge devices.

The 2014 launch of AWS Lambda marked a milestone in how organizations use cloud services to deliver their applications more efficiently, by running functions at the edge of the cloud without the cost and operational overhead of on-premises servers. What is AWS Lambda? How does AWS Lambda work? Optimizing Lambda for performance.

This ensures each Redis® instance optimally uses the in-memory data store and aligns with the operating system’s efficiency. Keeping a tab on memory usage provides additional insight into the health of operations running through Redis® servers. It’s equally important to put preventative measures in place.

If your app runs in a public cloud, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), the provider secures the infrastructure, while you’re responsible for security measures within applications and configurations. What are some key characteristics of securing cloud applications?

Do you have a web server? Great, your system was ready to be deployed. Once the system was deployed, to ensure everything was running smoothly, it only took a couple of simple checks to verify. Is the web server running? The last item to check was if the web server was able to talk to the database? Peer-to-Peer.

This tradeoff is unacceptable to public infrastructure providers, who need both strong security and minimal overhead. A modern commodity server can contain up to 1TB of RAM, and Lambda functions can use as little as 128MB. So you need up to 8000 functions on a server to fill the RAM (more in practice due to soft allocation).

DevOps on their own are meant to slash down the time taken from building a patch to deploying it on the servers. DevOps is not a single system, rather it is a combination of many processes – testing, deployment, production, etc – thus, it’s better termed as a ‘distributed infrastructure’. Source: FileFlex.
