Microsoft Dynamics GP: Running System and Company Databases on Azure SQL - Part 1

From the archive. This post dates from the blog’s Dynamics GP and early Power Platform era. Products and screenshots may have changed since it was written, and some of its links (PartnerSource and CustomerSource pages, legacy Maximum Global Business downloads, and other retired sites among them) may have been archived or may no longer be available.
Hi all,

Before you get too excited, please know that there is no immediate plans for Microsoft to support Dynamics GP on Azure SQL. This vlog is rather an attempt to demystify some Community forum claims to his effect, but rather than simply saying "It doesn't work!", what I want to do is walk through the motions of provisioning the Azure databases, configuring the SQL Server, defining the elastic pool container, migrating the databases, and attempting to run Microsoft Dynamics GP and GP Utilities, while highlighting the current limitations preventing this configuration from working.



For ease of consumption, I have divided this vlog in two parts. Please enjoy part 1. In part 2, we will work on migrating the databases and getting GP connected to them. If nothing else, you would have learned how easy it is to get Azure SQL up and running :)

Until next post,

MG.-
