Windows 10: PowerBI, PowerApps, Azure SQL Server

sasukar · Aug 17, 2021

This is more of a question of what Microsoft plan I should buy.Essentially, I want access to PowerBI Service, PowerApps, and Azure SQL DB for about a team of 7 people. What plan would be the best for my use case? How much should I expect to pay for these services/month?

Easily bring your SQL Server licenses to Azure VMs

Easily bring your SQL Server licenses to Azure VMs

I am super exited to announce that starting today, Microsoft Enterprise Agreement customers can bring existing licenses to run SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines. Since the launch of Azure Virtual Machines, customers can already run SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines through several existing SQL Server images available in the Azure Gallery, or bring their own images to Azure. These images and capabilities will continue to be supported so customers can continue to take advantage of pay per use licensing for SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.

Starting this week, customers with Enterprise Agreement who already have SQL Server Licenses, can use them on Azure Virtual Machines with Microsoft-certified (BYOL) gallery images. These images will not charge for SQL Server licensing, just for compute cost.

With this announcement, Microsoft Enterprise Agreement customers will have access to new set of gallery images that they can use with their existing SQL Server licenses and deploy VMs with them. This provides the flexibility, convenience, ease of use and additional cost savings to Microsoft Enterprise Agreement customers. Reusing an existing SQL Server license reduces the cost for our customers running SQL Server workloads continuously or for extended periods of time.

There is no need to build custom images to migrate SQL Server to Azure Virtual Machines. Instead, customers can provision VMs from one of the above images and add their existing license – Enterprise Agreement subscription is required. Customers can also leverage these Microsoft-certified BYOL images to leverage the rich automation features of Portal, Azure QuickStart GitHub templates (i.e. storage configuration, optimization for Transactional Processing, Data Warehousing, Automated Backup and automated Patching). Customers can also choose to deploy their SQL Server VMs through the gallery directly or using their favorite client tool such as Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI – Command Line Interface or through the Azure SDKs.

In response to customer feedback, you can now login to your Enterprise Agreement subscription and provision SQL Sever based VMs using your existing license(s). Learn more on our documentation page.

SQL Server + Python — What’s new

Python is one of the most popular and fastest-growing languages used today. Pyodbc (Python-SQL Server Connector) is an open source Python module maintained by Michael Kleehammer that uses ODBC Drivers to connect to SQL Server. It allows you to connect from the platform of your choice to SQL Server on-premises and in the cloud. Pyodbc is also cross platform and can be installed using pip.

We recently announced SQL Server v.Next CTP1 on Linux and Windows, which brings the power of SQL Server to both Windows and — for the first time ever — Linux. You can now connect your applications to SQL Server running on Linux, Windows and macOS (with Docker).

For our Python developers, we have a few updates that will improve Python connectivity with SQL Server. Pyodbc is now:

Officially supported: You can contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via phone, email, Twitter, forums, etc., to report and get help with any issue.

Available in Jupyter Notebooks for SQL Server: The Jupyter Notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations and visualizations.Pyodbc and its dependencies ship out of the box with Juypter notebooks on Azure. To get started, go to notebooks.azure.com and create a new Python 2 notebook or follow the instructions here. Check out the code sample and paste it in your notebook’s interactive prompt to get started.

Compatible with Python 3.5 and Django 1.10 through Django-pyodbc-azure.

SQL Server + C#: What’s new

With the release of SQL Server v.Next public preview on Linux and Windows, the ability to connect to SQL Server on Linux, Windows, Docker or macOS (via Docker) makes cross-platform support for all connectors, including .NET Framework and .NET Core SqlClient, even more important. To enable C# developers to use the newest SQL Server features, we have been updating SqlClient with client-side support for new features.

In .NET Framework, we have provided client-side support for Always Encrypted and added Azure Active Directory as an authentication method. We’ve also added a new connection string parameter called “Pool Blocking Period.” It can be used to select the behavior of the blocking period when connecting to Azure SQL Database and SQL Server. Many applications that connect to Azure SQL Database need to render quickly, and the exponential blocking period can be problematic, especially when throwing errors. By adding the Pool Blocking Period parameter, we aim to improve the experience for connections to Azure SQL Database. Learn more about the new parameter here.

.NET Core is the cross-platform, open-source implementation of the .NET Framework. The project includes CoreFX, the foundational libraries of .NET Core. Cross-platform support allows developers to seamlessly run applications on their operating system of choice, regardless of the platform it was developed on. For example, an app developed on Windows can be deployed to macOS and Linux, without ever having to port any code. To connect apps written in .NET Core to SQL Server (hosted anywhere), developers can use System.Data.SqlClient available in CoreFX. By developing in .NET Core on GitHub, we have been able to get feedback quickly and are actively working to enable the breadth of application scenarios and workloads.
