must first pass through Azure

A gateway services the

17. Best Practices for optimal
performance

18. Network latency
• Measure with SELECT 1 tests from the client using psql
• Average should be < 2msec
Best practice:
• Ensure application and database server is in the same region, created
within same resource group
• Configure VM (hosting the application) with accelerated networking;
Learn more here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/create-vm-accelerated-networking-cli

19. Storage
• Monitor “IO Percent” and “Storage Percent” using Azure portal or Azure CLI
• Use postgres (pg_stat_statements) to determine queries taking longer time
Best practice:
• Evaluate/tune indexes and queries as necessary.
• Ensure adequate IOPS is provisioned for the instance.
 IOPS scale at approximately 3 IOPS per GB.
 Rule of thumb is to not exceed 80% of available IOPS (IO Percent) on average.
• Configure alerts on “IO Percent” and “Storage Percent” as necessary using Azure portal or
CLI
• Consider Memory Optimized tier

20. CPU
• Monitor “CPU percent” using Azure portal or Azure CLI.
• Use postgres (pg_stat_statements) to determine queries taking longer time
• High CPU usage is not the only indicator of CPU bottleneck. Do you have single threaded
app?
Best practice:
• Strongly recommend using General Purpose
• Validate/tune indexes and queries as necessary
• Ensure server log parameters are tuned for production workload
• Tune database connections from the application. Use connection pooling or front end/
application caching (if suitable). Consider Memory Optimized.
• Configure alerts on “CPU percent” as necessary using Azure portal or CLI

22. How to bring your data?

23. • Seamlessly migrate on-premise
databases at scale
• Trust in a robust, resilient service for
every migration scenario
• Migrate multiple database sources to
Azure
• Experience minimum downtime for
mission critical applications
DMS
PostgreSQL

24. What does
minimum
downtime in
migration
mean?
 Databases continue to stay live
 DMS performs initial load from
source to target
 Subsequent new traffic will get
replicated to target
 During application cutover –
 Stop the incoming traffic (small
downtime)
 Wait for data to catch up on the
target
 Update application connection
string to point to Azure
 Done!
