Post-deployment tasks for SQL Server workloads Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Before using your deployed SQL Server system, we recommend that you perform thepost-deployment tasks described in this document.
Review the deployment
After successfully deploying a SQL Server workload, you can review thedeployment output and configuration on the dashboard.
Review the deployment resources
To review the resources created during the deployment:
Go to the Workload Manager page in the Google Cloud console.
In the left navigation pane, clickDeployments to open thedeployment dashboard.
Select the name of the deployment to open theDeployment information page.
ClickDeployment Output tab to view a list of all resources thatwere created during the deployment, the resource type, and a link to the resource (if applicable).
Review the deployment configuration
To review the deployment configuration:
Go to the Workload Manager page in the Google Cloud console.
In the left navigation pane, clickDeployments to open thedeployment dashboard.
Select the name of the deployment to open theDeployment information page.
Click theDetails tab to view the information that you've entered forthe initial configuration of the deployment.
Modify the system post deployment
InPreview, Workload Manager does notsupport the ability to modify a deployment that was deployed within the console.
One option is to deploy a new system with the required settings and configurations,and then transfer any configuration or data from the original deployment.Later you can delete the original deployment once the transfer iscomplete and the new system is validated.
Alternatively, you can manually modify a resource that was deployed usingnormal modification methods outside of Workload Manager. However,this causes the deployment object within Workload Manager and theunderlying Terraform state file to become out of sync with the actual state of the resources.
Delete a deployment
When deleting a deployment, the tool attempts to only delete the resources thatwere created as part of the deployment. Shared resources or resourcesthat existed before the deployment, such as secrets and VPCs are not deleted.
Deleting a resource is a permanent action and the resource or data residing onit is not recoverable. If you have not done so already, consider taking a backup of the system.
To delete a deployment, do the following:
Go to the Workload Manager page in the Google Cloud console.
In the left navigation pane, clickDeployments to open thedeployment dashboard.
Select the name of the deployment to open theDeployment information page.In theDeployment Output tab, review all the resources that were deployedas part of the deployment.
ClickDelete at the top of the deployment information page and then confirm the deletion.
Additional items that were used to deploy the system might remain after the system is deleted.You can delete these items manually if you want to.
- Within a Cloud Storage bucket:
- The Cloud Build history and logs
- The Terraform and state file used by the original deployment
- The SQL Server Installation media used in the deployment
- Service accounts
- The Google-managed service account used by Workload Manager
- The service account used by Cloud Build
