Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft Hybrid Data Services
summary
Dell Azure Stack HCI validated with 3rd‑gen AMD Milan‑X / EPYC (3D V‑Cache) runs Azure Arc enabled data services and AKS to host 20 SQL Managed Instances that are deployed in 12 minutes and tested with HammerDB. Lifecycle management via Windows Admin Center + Dell OpenManage survives node drains, and Grafana/portal insights show pod/node/instance metrics. Containers host HammerDB with very small footprints (sub‑GB) so a single harness drives many MIs; AMD reports cache‑sensitive gains ~10–15% (up to 50–60% in some cases). Monthly Azure connectivity for billing/telemetry and Arc licensing (~$6/server/mo) apply.
