Azure DB Non-Disruptive notice

Azure DBs scale actions states that the change is "Non-Disruptive", technically there is no downtime in that the database doesn't go down during the change, though there could be a connection drop and re-connect during the change. 

Following the Azure documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/scale-resources?view=azuresql "Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance enable you to dynamically add more resources to your database with minimal downtime; however, there is a switch over period where connectivity is lost to the database for a short amount of time, which can be mitigated using retry logic."

So this should be advised somehow in Turbonomic.

As suggested by Joby Joseph, this doesnt need to be a black-and-white Disruptive Yes/No, we should probably have a color coded status there:

  1. Non-Disruptive (Green) -> We should only use this if we know that there is NO downtime at all during the action execution. Meaning apps will retain their connectivity.
  2. Minimally-Disruptive (Orange) -> There might be short periods of time when there may be a connectivity loss, apps should handle it accordingly.
  3. Disruptive (Red) -> There will be a noticeable period of time when the VM/DB is unreachable while its size is getting updated, and apps should plan accordingly.

If we don't use Non-Disruptive option correctly, we may risk losing trust with customers
