InstallSQLServerByDSCForAzure

This ARM Template installs SQL Server onto a Windows Server using PowerShell DSC. It does the following:

• Creates a StoragePool for use by SQL Server
• Uses an Azure Files share with the SQL Server installation files to install SQL Server
• Domain joins the SQL Server
• Allows you to specify which SQL Server features you want installed

It allows you to customize many settings for the installation including:

• The operating disk size
• The number of data disks to use for databases
• The number of data disks to use for logs (note: will have host caching turned off for these)
• The sizes of the virtual disks and drive letters for each of the disks
• Settings for maximum degree of parallelism, collation, reserved memory, etc.
• The instance name
