Microsoft azure SQL database telemetry

Abstract

Microsoft operates the Azure SQL Database (ASD) cloud service, one of the dominant relational cloud database services in the market today. To aid the academic community in their research on designing and efficiently operating cloud database services, Microsoft is introducing the release of production-level telemetry traces from the ASD service. This telemetry data set provides, over a wide set of important hardware resources and counters, the consumption level of each customer database replica. The first release will be a multi-month time-series data set that includes the full cluster traces from two different ASD global regions.
