SQL Managed Instance editor

What this editor does

An Azure SQL Managed Instance (Microsoft.Sql/managedInstances) gives near-100% SQL Server compatibility for lift-and-shift. In Loom this surface lists instances and state; editor execution (TDS via private endpoint) is deferred to a later v3.x release.

Getting started

  1. List instances — The editor lists managed instances and their state via ARM.
  2. Inspect an instance — Review SKU, vCores, and networking.
  3. Know the deferral — TDS query execution over a private endpoint is deferred to v3.x; the editor says so rather than faking results.
  4. Plan migration — Use MI for lift-and-shift of on-prem SQL with Agent, cross-DB queries, and linked servers.
