SQL Database - East US - Performance Degradation and Potential Timeout issues.
Starting at 11:30 UTC on 18 Sep 2020, some customers using SQL Database in East US who may experience issues accessing and using services. New connections to databases in this subscription in this region may result in an error or timeout. Existing connections may have substantial degradation in query performance. Microsoft is aware of this issue and are actively investigating. Recovery time may be extended. If you are using active geo-replication and got impacted you should consider failover to another region.
Issue tracking Url: https://app.azure.com/h/SMSC-FS0/3e3f4a
Update: Issue Resolved.
Summary of Impact: Between 11:30 UTC and 20:05 UTC on 18 Sep 2020, customers using SQL Database in East US may have experienced issues accessing and using services. New connections to databases in this region may have resulted in an error or timeout. Existing connections may have substantial degradation in query performance.
Preliminary root cause: Microsoft's Upstream upgrade deployment for a particular storage stamp introduced a new functionality which impacted instances of a backend file server which became unhealthy. As a result, SQL DB customers experienced timeout and error or service degradation in query performance.
Mitigation: Microsoft performed a change to the file server configuration on the storage stamp. After confirming mitigation on the storage stamp, they have restarted the affected node to further validate mitigation.
Next steps: Microsoft will continue to review pre-deployment testing scenarios and prevent future occurrences.

Phase 4: Azure SQL Database traffic migration to newer Gateways
During daily monitoring activities, Sitecore Cloud Operations engineers found a planned maintenance activity on Microsoft Azure due to which SQL database connectivity might be affected for the customer connecting to database.
Gateways built on new hardware are being added to SQL DB in various regions. This will allow logins to be serviced by more than one Gateway in these regions, leading to better response times and reduced latency. This will change the public IP address to which DNS will resolve for your SQL Database hosted on Australia Southeast, UK South and Canada East effective September 15, 2020.
Impact: Potential loss of connectivity for Customers using IP restriction rules on Azure SQL Databases. For the majority of customers, we expect this change will not impact connectivity to SQL Database. However, we recommend that you white list IP addresses for all Gateways Australia Southeast, UK South and Canada East, as outlined in the table here. More details about new gateway migration process given in the following article: Azure SQL Database traffic migration to newer Gateways.
New SQL Gateways are being added to the following regions:
- Australia Southeast : 13.77.48.10
- Canada East : 40.86.226.166, 52.242.30.154
- UK South : 51.140.184.11, 51.105.64.0
Existing SQL Gateways will start accepting traffic in the following regions.
- Australia Southeast : 191.239.192.109 and 13.73.109.251
- Central US : 13.67.215.62, 52.182.137.15, 23.99.160.139, 104.208.16.96, and 104.208.21.1
- East Asia : 191.234.2.139, 52.175.33.150, and 13.75.32.4

- Japan West: 104.214.148.156, 40.74.100.192, 191.238.68.11, and 40.74.97.10
- North Central US : 23.96.178.199, 23.98.55.75, and 52.162.104.33
- Southeast Asia : 104.43.15.0, 23.100.117.95, and 40.78.232.3
- West US: 104.42.238.205, 23.99.34.75, and 13.86.216.196
These SQL Gateways shall start accepting customer traffic on September 15, 2020.
