Modernization Advisor for SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines

The Modernization Advisor for SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines is a tool currently in public preview that aids in modernizing SQL Server workloads by transitioning them to a fully managed PaaS environment, specifically Azure SQL Managed Instance. This tool is designed to assist users in migrating from SQL Server on Azure VMs to Azure SQL Managed Instance, which can provide cost savings, performance optimization, and simplified management.

Key Features of Modernization Advisor

  • Cost Optimization: It helps assess whether Azure SQL Managed Instance is a more cost-effective option compared to SQL Server on Azure VMs[1][2].
  • Performance Optimization: The tool evaluates your current SQL Server configuration and provides insights on how to improve performance by migrating to Azure SQL Managed Instance[1][3].
  • Configuration Matching: It matches your SQL Server VM configuration with a suitable Azure SQL Managed Instance configuration, considering factors like vCores, memory, storage size, and storage type[1].
  • Detailed Reporting: Modernization Advisor generates a report detailing the benefits achievable through migration, including a price range for modernization to help manage total cost of ownership (TCO)[1].

Benefits of Migration to Azure SQL Managed Instance

  • Simplified Management: Moving to Azure SQL Managed Instance simplifies the management of SQL workloads as it is a fully managed PaaS service.
  • Cost Savings: Potential for cost reduction by optimizing resources and leveraging the benefits of a managed service.
  • Improved Scalability: Better scalability and performance compared to traditional VM-based deployments.

Azure Update Reference

The Modernization Advisor's public preview is part of Microsoft's ongoing Azure updates, aimed at enhancing SQL Server workloads on Azure Virtual Machines by leveraging fully managed PaaS offerings[2][4]. The update is highlighted in Microsoft's Azure updates as a tool to help modernize workloads efficiently[2][5].
