Cloud-based rapid provisioning of databases in the context of a database cloud rather than in the context of individual servers

What is Database-as-a-Service?

Who wants this?

Database consumerOn-demandQuick access to a database allows for greater agility and innovation

SimpleNo need to manage a full server Abstracted from management of HA, performance

Cost-efficientPay for what you use, when you use it

Database providerAutomatedPlacement algorithm determines best placement for database

ExtensibleCan combine WAP with existing integrations or your own customization to provide unique experience for tenants

BillableUsage data reported for each tenant subscriptionCan bill for different types of databases created and amount of space consumed

DBaaS Options

Public Cloud

PrivateCloud

SQL Server in

a VM

Multi-tenant DBaaS

WAP SQL Resource Provider

Demo

Let’s set this all up.

1. Set up SQL fabric

2. Create Server Groups in WAP

3. Create Plans and include Editions

4. Tenant subscribes to Plan and creates databases

PlanPlanPlan

Tenant Subscription

Demo

Integrating advanced SQL capabilities

SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group is

container for multiple server instances

Primary replica is read-write while secondary replicas are read-only

Manual or automatic failover possible when primary goes down

Dependency on Windows Server Failover Clusters

Demo

Performance Isolation using Resource Governor Specify resource consumption limits on incoming

requests across CPU, Memory, IOPs Avoid noisy neighbor syndrome where one tenant

can consume all server resources at detriment of others

Databases are managed in context of the resource pool they are in, instead of the whole server

Constraints of the Resource Pool are mapped to editions in WAP

Demo

Common questions

For advanced capabilities, System Center is what provides automation, monitoring, IaaS etc.

However, for simple DBaaS, all you need is WAP + SQL Server

So…does this require System Center?

What versions of SQL are supported?Support for SQL Server 2008 SP3 SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 SQL Server 2012 SP1 (min. req. for HA) SQL Server 2014 (min. req. for Resource

Governor)

Should have SQL authentication enabled

What is the allocation algorithm?Database is placed on a server that supports the requested edition and has enough capacity.

Will fill a server before allocating to a new server

Resource Governor databases spread more evenly as all databases in same subscription will be kept on the same server

How can I monitor my environment? Operations Manager can be used to

monitor your DBaaS solution Alerts created when issues arise in

environment Windows Azure Pack Management Pack SQL Server Management Pack

How can I automate my environment? Service Management Automation: installed

with Azure Pack to automate management tasks

Administrator creates runbooks using PowerShell Workflow to complete routine and common tasks

Out-of-box sample: Sample-Managing-SQLServers

Out of the box, Azure Pack comes with SQL and MySQL Resource Providers

If using SQL-in-a-VM approach, Oracle is available as a template

Custom resource providers are possible for other providers

Can I use other database providers too?

Azure Pack continuously supported and enhanced thru 2017

What about Azure Stack?!

Summary• Azure Pack can be used to provide

Database-as-a-Service with SQL Server• Administrator creates different options via

editions• Integrate with other products for better

administrative experience• Support for:• Windows Authentication• Contained Database creation• AlwaysOn (HA)• Resource Governor• … and more!
