Requirements. Availability Requirements

ADatum identifies the following post-migration availability requirements:

• For DB1 and DB2, offload analytical workloads to a read-only database replica in the same Azure region.
• Ensure that if a regional disaster occurs, DB1 and DB2 can be recovered from backups.
• After the migration, App1 must maintain access to DB1 and DB2.
• For DB3, manage potential performance issues caused by resource demand changes by App2 and App3.
• Ensure that DB3 will still be accessible following a planned failover.
• Ensure that DB3 can be restored if the logical server is deleted.
• Minimize downtime during the migration of DB1 and DB2.

Requirements. Security Requirements

ADatum identifies the following security requirements for after the migration:

• Ensure that only designated developers who use Microsoft Entra joined Windows 11 devices can access DB1 and DB2 remotely.
• Ensure that all changes to DB3, including ones within individual transactions, are audited and recorded.

Requirements. Management Requirements

ADatum identifies the following post-migration management requirements:

• Continue using Extended Events to monitor DB3.
• In Azure SQL Database, automate the management of DB3 by using elastic jobs that have database-scoped credentials.

Requirements. Business Requirements
