Dynamics SL 2018 on Azure

(0) ShareShare

Is there any official documentation from MS regarding the deployment of Dynamics SL 2018 on Azure?  While I see that the System Requirements guide mentions Azure as compatible for Hosting servers, that is where the documents stops. Wondering if there are any specific requirements as to the best Azure configuration for deployment.  I have read in this forum that Azure SQL services is NOT supported (as of CU4), so I am wondering what configurations ARE supported.

    I agree nothing I need port traffics specifics.

    I guess that is what I am looking for, any of the gotchas that can help identify the preferred configurations in an AZ hosted environment.

    Dear Mark,

    SL can be run on a SQL server hosted in Azure. However, SL is not compatible with Azure SQL Services. From what I understand the cross database communication that SL requires would be a huge task to get working in Azure SQL services so from that I am assuming that SL will never be supported with Azure SQL until that's worked out.

    So you can setup any compatable sql server hosted on an Azure server, as well as SL. There were no specifics that I could find for setting up on Azure, I guess we will document that when we have users actually using the service, any gotcha's and so forth. I would assume that the current version of sql server or probably 2016 and beyond should be supported on Azure at this point.

    Best Regards,
