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.
