SQL Server in Azure Virtual Machine – Configuring for price-performance
In this session, we will cover topics such as the different virtual machine types that are most appropriate for SQL Server workloads (including the new Ebdsv5 series), configuring storage, and features unique to Azure such as host caching and write acceleration that can help boost your performance without breaking the bank.
When selecting a virtual machine to host your SQL Server workload in Azure, you need to choose a virtual machine size that provides optimal performance and fits your organization’s budget. There are a number of different compute and storage options in Azure, so choosing the configuration that gives you the best price-performance for your workload can be a challenge. In this session, we will cover topics such as the different virtual machine types that are most appropriate for SQL Server workloads (including the new Ebdsv5 series), configuring storage, and features unique to Azure such as host caching and write acceleration that can help boost your performance without breaking the bank.
