  • Artikkeli

This document demonstrates how to install Azure SQL Managed Instance - Azure Arc using Azure Data Studio.

Prerequisites

Before you can proceed with the tasks in this article, you need to have the necessary tools. All deployments require the following tools:

  • Azure Data Studio

  • Azure Arc extension for Azure Data Studio

  • Azure CLI (az)

  • arcdata extension for Azure CLI

  • kubectl

    Additional client tools depending your environment. For a more comprehensive list, see Client tools.

In addition to the required tools, to complete the tasks, you need an Azure Arc data controller.

Steps

  1. Launch Azure Data Studio
  2. On the Connections tab, select on the three dots on the top left and choose New Deployment....
  3. From the deployment options, select Azure SQL managed instance.

Note

You may be prompted to install the appropriate CLI here if it is not currently installed.

  1. Select Select.

    Azure Data Studio opens Azure SQL managed instance.

  2. For Resource Type, choose Azure SQL managed instance - Azure Arc.

  3. Accept the privacy statement and license terms

  4. Review the required tools. Follow instructions to update tools before you proceed.

  5. Select Next.

    Azure Data Studio allows you to set your specifications for the managed instance. The following table describes the fields:

    Setting Description Required or optional
    Target Azure Controller Name of the Azure Arc data controller. Required
