I am trying to install SDL Web 8.5 in Microsoft Azure, for which I am planning to host all Tridion DB's in Microsoft Azure SQL Database. As far as I know we used to run PowerShell commands to install it on Microsoft SQL Servers like .\Install Content Manager database.ps1 , but how can I run these commands for Azure SQL DB or what actually needs to be done to create Tridion databases in Azure SQL ?

if i create Tridion DB's in Azure, how would Tridion Application (CME) interact them?

You install the databases the same way you would do with a "regular" SQL Server, only this time the server address is of the Azure SQL, for example: & '.\Install Content Manager database.ps1' -DatabaseServer someAddress.database.windows.net -DatabaseName ...

As far as Tridion (CME) is concerned it will work the exact same way. The same goes for all the storage configurations of the CD roles.

  • Thanks @atila sos for your comments. does it mean i need to run the commands on my my azure virtual Machine, which has Microsoft Sql Server installed ? if this is the case, then Tridion Db's are still in Sql server only but in azure. (Not in standalone Microsoft Azure SQL db)

    Whether you have an Azure VM with SQL Server installed, or you use Azure SQL (as a service) it makes no difference, you just supply the address of the server and other relevant details to the installation script.
