Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'compute backup' mean for Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra?
Compute backup refers to the ability to back up the underlying virtual machine or infrastructure resources that host your Apache Cassandra database instance. This is crucial for full system recovery in case of hardware failure or significant configuration issues.
Is this a one-time purchase or a recurring subscription?
This is a subscription-based license, meaning you pay on a recurring basis (typically monthly or annually) to maintain access to the compute backup features. This ensures continuous coverage and compliance.
Does this license cover the data itself, or just the compute resources?
This specific license covers the compute resources. Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra typically has separate mechanisms for data backup and restore, which may require different configurations or licensing depending on your specific setup and needs.
