Richie Lee reports that SQL Server Integration Services is now available as a service in Azure:
I’ve written about it elsewhere in greater depth, but here are the headlines:
-
It makes use of SSIS Scale Out, which was released as part of SQL Server 2017.
-
Although it is based on SSIS Scale Out, you can’t actually configure SSIS Scale Out to run on the instance. If this confuses you then read my in-depth post.
-
SSISDB is installed in either SQL Azure or on a Managed Instance.
-
You don’t have to create Integration Services Catalog/SSISDB yourself; it is done for you. So that annoying key management is no longer a problem.
Richie’s got more to say on the topic, so check out the highlights and then his in-depth post.
