Dort sieht man dann einige Empfehlungen aufgeführt (vorausgesetzt, Azure hat etwas gefunden, was wiederum eine regelmäßige Nutzung der Datenbank voraussetzt):

Diese Daten kann man sich auch automatisch abrufen und auf Wunsch dann z.B. an die Entwickler verteilen. Dazu bediene ich mich einfach der PowerShell:

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
$SubscriptionId = "YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"

function Get-SQLServerRecommendations()
{
    # Define the resource types
    $resourceTypes = ("Microsoft.Sql/servers/databases")
    $advisors = ("CreateIndex", "DropIndex","DbParameterization","SchemaIssue");
    $results = @()

    # Loop through all subscriptions
   
    $rgs = Get-AzureRmResourceGroup

    # Loop through all resource groups
    foreach($rg in $rgs) {
        $rgname = $rg.ResourceGroupName;

        # Loop through all resource types
        foreach($resourceType in $resourceTypes) {
            $resources = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName $rgname -ResourceType $resourceType

            # Loop through all databases
            # Extract resource groups, servers and databases
            foreach ($resource in $resources) {
                $resourceId = $resource.ResourceId
                if ($resourceId -match ".*RESOURCEGROUPS/(?.*)/PROVIDERS.*") {
                    $ResourceGroupName = $matches['content']
                } else {
                    continue
                }
                if ($resourceId -match ".*SERVERS/(?.*)/DATABASES.*") {
                    $ServerName = $matches['content']
                } else {
                    continue
                }
                if ($resourceId -match ".*/DATABASES/(?.*)") {
                    $DatabaseName = $matches['content']
                } else {
                    continue
                }

                # Skip if master
                if ($DatabaseName -eq "master") {
                    continue
                }

                # Loop through all Automatic tuning recommendation types
                foreach ($advisor in ($advisors -notmatch "SchemaIssue")) {
                    $recs = Get-AzureRmSqlDatabaseRecommendedAction -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -ServerName $ServerName  -DatabaseName $DatabaseName -AdvisorName $advisor
                    foreach ($r in $recs) {
                        if ($r.State.CurrentValue -eq "Active") {
                            $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject

                            $results += $object
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    Return $results
}

Dieses Script wiederum kann man dann z.B. per Jenkins regelmäßig auslösen. Oder alternativ ein Azure Automation Runbook dafür anlegen… Viel Spaß beim Ausprobieren!

Die Mails sehen dann in etwa so aus:
