SQL Server Business Intelligence Microsoft Docs. Important. Azure has two different deployment models for creating and working with resources Resource Manager and Classic. This article covers using the Classic deployment model. Microsoft recommends that most new deployments use the Resource Manager model. The Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine gallery includes images that contain SQL Server installations. The SQL Server editions supported in the gallery images are the same installation files you can install to on premises computers and virtual machines. This topic summarizes the SQL Server Business Intelligence BI Features installed on the images and configuration steps required after a virtual machine is provisioned. This topic also describes supported deployment topologies for BI features and best practices. There are two ways to license SQL Server in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines License mobility benefits that are part of Software Assurance. For more information, see License Mobility through Software Assurance on Azure. Pay per hour rate of Azure Virtual Machines with SQL Server installed. See the SQL Server section in Virtual Machines Pricing. For more information on licensing and current rates, see Virtual Machines Licensing FAQ. SQL Server Images Available in Azure Virtual Machine Gallery. Using sql server can i get the row count and size of the table as well as the database size for the past six months The 1 SQL Server community and education site, with articles, news, forums, scripts and FAQs. This week I has been working on a case about the installation of a certificate on a SQL Server cluster. My customer wanted to use certificates to encrypt. The Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine gallery includes several images that contain Microsoft SQL Server. The software installed on the virtual machine images varies based on the version of the operating system and the version of SQL Server. The list of images available in the Azure virtual machine gallery changes frequently. The following Power. Shell script returns the list of Azure images that contain SQL Server in the Image.

For more information on editions and features supported by SQL Server, see the following BI Features Installed on the SQL Server Virtual Machine Gallery Images. The following table summarizes the Business Intelligence features installed on the common Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine gallery images for SQL Server SQL Server 2. SP1 Enterprise. SQL Server 2.

Name, status, servicetype, dependentservices format Table Auto. Size. General Recommendations and Best Practices. The minimum recommended size for a virtual machine is A3 when using SQL Server Enterprise Edition. The A4 virtual machine size is recommended for SQL Server BI deployments of Analysis Services and Reporting Services. For information on the current VM sizes, see Virtual Machine Sizes for Azure. A best practice for disk management is to store data, log, and backup files on drives other than C and D. For example, create data disks E and F. The drive caching policy for the default drive C is not optimal for working with data. The D drive is a temporary drive that is used primarily for the page file. The D drive is not persisted and is not saved in blob storage. Management tasks such as a change to the virtual machine size reset the D drive. It is recommended to NOT use the D drive for database files, including tempdb. For more information on creating and attaching disks, see How to Attach a Data Disk to a Virtual Machine. Stop or uninstall services you do not plan to use. For example if the virtual machine is only used for Reporting Services, stop or uninstall Analysis Services and SQL Server Integration Services. The following image is an example of the services that are started by default. Note. The SQL Server database engine is required in the supported BI scenarios. In a single server VM topology, the database engine is required to be running on the same VM. For more information, see the following Uninstall Reporting Services and Uninstall an Instance of Analysis Services. Check Windows Update for new Important updates. The Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine images are frequently refreshed however important updates could become available from Windows Update after the VM image was last refreshed. Example Deployment Topologies. The following are example deployments that use Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines. The topologies in these diagrams are only some of the possible topologies you can use with SQL Server BI features and Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines. Single Virtual Machine. Analysis Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server Database Engine, and data sources on a single virtual machine. Two Virtual Machines. Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and the SQL Server Database Engine on a single virtual machine. This deployment includes the report server databases.
