Practices
SQL Server
(Part 1)
23
1. Use minimum Standard Tier A2 for SQL Server VMs.
2. Keep the storage account and SQL Server VM in the same region.
3. Disable Azure geo-replication on the storage account.
4. Avoid using OS or temporary disks for database storage or logging
5. Avoid using Azure data disk caching options (caching policy = None).
6. Stripe multiple Azure data disks to get increased IO throughput.
7. Format with documented allocation sizes (typically 64kb and correct
starting offset eg: 1 MB)
8. Separate data and log file I/O paths to obtain dedicated IOPs
9. Enable database page/row compression.
10. Enable instant file initialization for data files.
Recommended
Practices
SQL Server
(Part 2)
24
11. Limit or disable auto-grow on the database.
12. Disable auto-shrink on the database.
13. Move all databases to data disks, including system databases.
14. Move SQL Server error log and trace file directories to data disks.
15. Apply SQL Server performance fixes.
16. Setup default locations.
17. Enable locked pages.
18. Backup directly to blob storage.
19. Attach as much data disks as possible.
20. Monitor SQL Server KPI’s

• Temporary D:\
-A-series: do NOT put the tempdb on the D-drive
-D-series: DO put the tempdb on the D-drive
(local SSD)

• Configure PowerShell to connect to your
Azure Resources
• Create a RDCManager Group (Script
Available on demand)
• Script (the rest) of the Configuration,
even when using Azure Farm Templates
• Use “Automation” to control the usage
• Create & Use Master Images (VHDs) to
do Manual Installations…
• Most On-Premises recommendations are
valid here also
Performance
• Apply the same Storage
Recommendations as for SQL for the
Drive that contains the Index
• Use a Machine Size that has at least the
minimum requirements for SharePoint
2013 (for Production use)
• Shutting down the VM in Windows DOES
NOT Stop the compute COST, Azure
Automation is your friend.
