Title:
AMR | Remove Persistence Settings from Lower Environment Clusters

Story:
As a developer,
I want to identify and remove unnecessary persistence settings such as AOF/RDB from AMR/Redis clusters in lower environments,
so that Dev/Test/UAT clusters do not incur unnecessary storage and I/O costs.

Description:
Persistence settings are currently enabled on some AMR/Redis clusters in lower environments. Since these environments may not require persistent storage for non-production workloads, the enabled persistence configuration can lead to additional storage and I/O cost.

This item is to analyze the impacted AMR/Redis clusters, confirm where persistence is not required, and remove/disable the persistence settings after validation. The activity should be aligned with the product/team requirements to avoid any impact to required testing or recovery scenarios.

Scope:

  • Identify AMR/Redis clusters where persistence settings are enabled.
  • Confirm impacted lower environments such as Dev, Test, and UAT.
  • Validate whether persistence is required for each cluster.
  • Remove/disable unnecessary AOF/RDB persistence settings.
  • Capture validation evidence after the change.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Impacted clusters with persistence enabled are identified.
  • Confirmation is received that persistence is not required for selected lower environment clusters.
  • Persistence settings are removed/disabled where applicable.
  • Post-change validation is completed.
  • Evidence/comments are updated in the GitLab issue.

Title: Validate AzureRmAlias removal impact for Emerging DB pipelines

User Story

As a developer, I want to validate the recent pipeline changes related to Enable-AzureRmAlias removal, so that we can confirm there is no impact on Emerging DB shared scripts, modules, or pipeline execution.

Background

Changes have been implemented to remove legacy Enable-AzureRmAlias usage and AzureRM module dependencies from common PowerShell scripts. Since these updates touch shared components, validation is required from the Emerging DB side before release sign-off.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Impact on Emerging DB pipelines is validated.
  • Shared scripts/modules used by Emerging DB are checked.
  • Any failures or required changes are documented.
  • Sign-off or feedback is shared for the upcoming release.
