Last but not least is the great DevOps integration.īefore jumping over to AKS and setting up SQL Server pods and service let’s check out what is actually needed to run it as a container just locally.A huge gain on the Portability aspect among different cloud vendors and even on premises systems.Standardization that’s the word that your management board would like to hear but it also make sense in this case, containers are becoming more and more the way to do things in software development so if your apps and services are running in containers then DBs should follow along. Ease of use in the development and test environment without the need for spinning up VMs, managing them go into endless version conflicts etc etc etc.Why should you consider running SQL Server on containers? That’s how Kubernetes and in our case AKS comes in the picture where we will separate the compute plane (stateless) from the data planes by providing persistent storage, consistent DNS and High Availability. Let’s go through some facts before we drill down to the concrete stuff, Containers are ephemeral and stateless in nature which raises already a couple of question marks around the topic of having SQL Server running on containers within your Kubernetes cluster, Cause the fact is when we think about SQL Servers then data durability comes in mind, constant network availability/access and the state is critical.
