What is SQL Database Managed Instance?

Easy migration: nearly 100% like SQL Server

Note: features will be added in stages until General Availability of Managed Instance

Security

• TDE• SQL Audit

• Row level security• Always Encrypted

What’s is missing?• Features that are obsolete in the cloud (or have a better alternative)

Always-On Availability Groups: HA is built-inWindows Authentication: Azure Active Directory is the alternative.Management Data Warehouse : OMS integration is the alternative.Policy Based Management: common DBA tasks are performed by SQL Database.

• Features that have been retiredDatabase Mirroring: built-in HA / geo-replication are better alternativesExtended stored procedures: customers should use CLR

• Features that are considered post-GAFilestreamFiletableCross-instance distributed transactions (and other transactions types that require MS DTC)Master Data Services (MDS)Data Quality Services (DQS)Stretch Database

A Full-blown PaaS Offering

Managed instance is a flavor of SQL DB that inherits the PaaS features

• Provisioning and resizing (w/ Azure Portal experience)

• Built-in auto HA (99.99% availability)

• Business continuity: automatic and user-initiated backup, PITR, Geo-DR

• Adheres to compliance standards same as SQL DB

• Security: TDE, AAD authentication

• Automatic patching / version update

• Intelligent Database features• Database Advisor (automatic tuning, insights @ scale)• Threat Detection

• E2E integration with other PaaS data services (SSIS, SSAS)

Managed Instance: new business model• Choose compute resources and storage independently, from two service tiers

• Azure Hybrid Use Benefit: use your on-premise licenses, with software assurance, to get discounts
