SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Azure SQL Managed Instance (MI) development and deployment tasks can be complex, error-prone, and time-consuming, and teams often struggle to locate authoritative guidance across troubleshooting, architecture, security, and deployment patterns. This skill consolidates expert guidance, best practices, and decision-making frameworks to accelerate design, implementation, and operational reliability for MI-focused projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Troubleshooting guidance for Azure SQL MI including connectivity, performance, geo-replication/HA, and maintenance considerations.
  • Architecture & design patterns covering connectivity models, networking, and integration with MI Link and Entra Kerberos auth.
  • Security, configuration, and IaC deployment patterns for provisioning and managing MI using Bicep/ARM/Terraform.

Quick Start

Describe the first-step configuration for deploying Azure SQL Managed Instance in a VNet with Entra Kerberos authentication.

Frequently Asked Questions about azure-sql-managed-instance

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Azure SQL Managed Instance in a VNet with Entra Kerberos authentication?▼

To configure Azure SQL Managed Instance with Entra Kerberos authentication, you must deploy the instance within a dedicated virtual network subnet and delegate the subnet to enable Entra-integrated Kerberos authentication for secure identity-based access.

What is the best way to deploy Azure SQL Managed Instance using Infrastructure as Code?▼

Deploying Azure SQL Managed Instance is best handled through Infrastructure as Code using Bicep, ARM templates, or Terraform to automate provisioning, networking configuration, and security policies consistently across environments.

How does geo-replication and high availability work for Azure SQL MI?▼

Geo-replication and high availability for Azure SQL MI work by configuring distributed managed instances and linking them to ensure automated failover and data synchronization during regional outages or maintenance events.

Why does my Azure SQL Managed Instance connectivity fail inside a virtual network?▼

Azure SQL Managed Instance connectivity fails when virtual network routing, subnet delegation, or network security group rules are misconfigured, requiring strict network policy adjustments to establish secure client connections.

Can I use MI Link to migrate SQL Server workloads to Azure SQL Managed Instance?▼

You can use MI Link to connect on-premises SQL Server workloads to Azure SQL Managed Instance, enabling seamless data replication and minimal downtime migration while maintaining operational continuity.

When do I need Extended Events for troubleshooting Azure SQL Managed Instance performance?▼

Extended Events are needed for troubleshooting Azure SQL Managed Instance performance when you must capture detailed query-level telemetry, identify bottlenecks, and analyze specific database workloads beyond standard metrics.
