Today enterprises are increasingly deploying containerized Microsoft SQL Server databases across hybrid cloud environments to optimize transactional performance and unleash real-time insights. However, deploying and scaling these business-critical SQL Server databases in production requires IT teams to adopt an enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform that meets certain critical requirements around performance, security, availability and total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) across hybrid cloud environments.

To help enterprises determine the platform best suited to run Microsoft SQL Server for their individual requirements, McKnight Consulting Group (MCG), an independent consulting firm, conducted a benchmark study of SQL Server 2019 running on the best possible configurations of the following Kubernetes platforms:

• Diamanti Enterprise Kubernetes Platform
• Amazon Web Services Elastic Kubernetes Service (AWS EKS)
• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
