Use an SLA for Azure Data Explorer clusters#
Reliability · Data Explorer · 2022_03
Use SKUs that include an SLA when configuring Azure Data Explorer (ADX) clusters.
Description#
When choosing a SKU for an ADX cluster you should consider the SLA that is included in the SKU. ADX clusters offer a range of offerings. Development SKUs are designed for early non-production use and do not include any SLA.
Recommendation#
Consider using a production ready SKU that includes a SLA.
Examples#
Configure with Azure template#
To deploy clusters that pass this rule:
- Set
sku.tier
toStandard
. - Set
sku.name
to non-development SKU such asStandard_D11_v2
.
For example:
Azure Template snippet
{
"type": "Microsoft.Kusto/clusters",
"apiVersion": "2021-08-27",
"name": "[parameters('name')]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"sku": {
"name": "Standard_D11_v2",
"tier": "Standard"
},
"identity": {
"type": "SystemAssigned"
},
"properties": {
"enableDiskEncryption": true
}
}
Configure with Bicep#
To deploy clusters that pass this rule:
- Set
sku.tier
toStandard
. - Set
sku.name
to non-development SKU such asStandard_D11_v2
.
For example:
Azure Bicep snippet
resource adx 'Microsoft.Kusto/clusters@2021-08-27' = {
name: name
location: location
sku: {
name: 'Standard_D11_v2'
tier: 'Standard'
}
identity: {
type: 'SystemAssigned'
}
properties: {
enableDiskEncryption: true
}
}
