Below is our scenario:
We are on Azure Analysis Services on Tier S1.
We'd like to scale up to Tier S2 in the evening to do a full process.
After processing is complete, we'd like to scale back down to Tier S1.
Questions:
When we scale up, roughly how long does it take?
Is there any downtime to end users when we scale up?
After Azure is finished scaling up, is the cube available for querying or does it need to be re-processed in any way? (I assume, it's ready)
After we finish scaling down, is the cube available for querying or does it need to be re-processed? (I assume, it's ready)
There is unfortunately not a lot of documentation on vertical scaling on Microsoft's sites
