    Thanks.

  • Just remember, Managed Instance is a SQL Server instance. The server aspects are gone, so no worries about that. However, all the internals are still there. So, database consistency, that's on you. Microsoft is doing backups, but, boy, I'd make sure what they're backing up is good. Statistics maintenance. Monitoring. Any & all database internals. If you're still a fan of defragging indexes, again, that's on you (personally, I'd follow Jeff Moden's guidance on this and stop doing it). It's a PaaS service, like Azure SQL Database, but one step up so that it makes it easier to lift & shift (cross database queries being the big, big, win).

  • Thanks Johan, Thanks Grant. Can you please share the link containing Jeff Moden's guidance regarding not to do the index maintenance in the Azure MI?

    Can you please provide the equivalent suggestions for the Azure SQL DB mentioning the required maintenance which should be scheduled on a daily basis?

     

    Thanks.
