4 Agenda Azure SQL Database Elastic databases Elastic database pools Threat detection

5 Azure SQL Database

6 Click Azure to SQL edit Database Master title style Platform as a Service (PaaS) format Cloud database as a Service Near-zero administration It s NOT SQL Server in the cloud It s a variant of the SQL Server database engine

7 Click Deployment to edit Master strengths title style Looks and behaves almost like SQL Server Starts small ( 4/month) Scales high ( 10,000+/month) Global service including UK regions

8 Click Operational to edit strengths Master title style Automatic high availability Automatic upgrades Automatic backups Automatic capacity planning Landing point for new SQL Server features Exclusive functionality for cloud platforms

9 Click Considerations to edit Master title style User database hosting service No access to system features No SQL Server agent No SQL Server BI services What about performance management?

10 Elastic databases

11 Scaling up vs. scaling out Client A Client B Client C Client D 10 GB 100 GB 250 GB 100 DTUs DTUs DTUs DTUs DTUs 200 DTUs 1000 DTUs 100 DTUs 100 DTUs 100 DTUs 100 DTUs Scale-up Scale-out

12 Elastic database feature Microsoft toolset for scaling out databases Designed for new databases with identical schemas.net application client library Elastic database query Elastic database jobs Elastic transactions Integrated with Elastic database

13 Shard Map Elastic databases 101.net Application Shard Setup Data Elastic database client database library Key Database 2016 DB DB103 Shard Map DB101 DB102 DB103 DB104 DB10n 2014 DB DB101 Shard Map Manager Sharded Databases

14 Elastic databases Application code no magic Enable tickbox Could write your own, but Microsoft already have Adhoc APIs to create and manage shard maps Client APIs for data dependent routing Split-Merge tool for moving data

15 Supporting features Elastic Jobs Single script across shards Schema changes Run a query on each database Elastic Query Elastic Transactions Inter-database query access Query plans use sharding data Use for analytics queries Cross-shard transactions

16 Elastic database pools

17 Click Elastic to database edit Master pools title style How do you allocate DTUs for variable and unknown workloads? Could insure against poor performance - Overpay Could limit the allocation of resources - Underperform

18 Click Elastic to database edit Master pools title style 10 DTUs DTUs 80? DTUs DTUs Small Variable Unknown Burstable Tiny Nightly Load 1 DTU 100 DTUs Minimum requirement of 121 DTUs Maximum requirement of 451 DTUs

19 Click Elastic to database edit Master pools title style Small Variable Unknown Burstable Tiny Nightly Load 300 edtus

20 Click Elastic to database edit Master pools title style Multiple databases share a pool of edtus Fixed price and cloud scale Can be used with Elastic databases edtus allocated first come-first served Consider acceptable contention ratios

21 Click Managing to edit elastic Master database title style pools T-SQL Portal Create new databases in a pool Move a database in and out of a pool Get pool and database resource usage Monitor resource usage with graphs Create and configure pools Run Elastic database Jobs PowerShell and C# options

22 Click What s to new edit about Master elastic title style database pools? The concept is similar to server virtualisation Or a shared instance of SQL Server Instant configuration changes Pay by the hour Increase and decrease both server resources and software licensing

23 Threat detection

24 Click Threat to detection edit Master title style Database tier is increasingly the weakest link SQL injection behind large data breaches Brute force attacks for known logins Misuse of other legitimate database access

25 Click Threat to detection edit Master title style Suspicious database activity alerting service Wrapper for the database auditing feature alerts and Excel analysis for detected: SQL injection attacks Unusual logins Unusual queries

26 Click to edit Master title style Threat Detection Azure SQL Database Auditing Feature Plain SQL Parameterized SQL Stored procedures Logins Transaction management Excel Analysis Audit Logs Threat Detection Service Alert SQL injection Login from new location Unusual usage pattern

27 Summary Azure SQL Database is a cloud database variant of SQL Server Unique capabilities to manage performance, scalability and cost First evolution of SQL specific threat detection
