Prerequisites

1. SQL Compliance Manager 7.0 installed on a machine.
2. Azure SQL Managed instance .
3. Blob storage account with container and SAS token for access. For the blob storage make sure that:
1. Default access tier is "Hot".
2. It's best practice for the Storage Account to be located in the same region where the monitoring SQL instance will be (e.g North Europe).
3. Ensure the "Enable storage account key access" setting is checked. The option is available during creation, or under the "Configuration" blade afterward.
4. Make sure that the storage account is accessible from the SQL-managed instance.
5. When generating a Shared Access Signature, make sure its expiry is sufficient in the future. Upon expiry, the SAS token would have to be updated from the SQL Server itself.
