Based on this context, the summary should focus on the completed decommissioning and closure, rather than only the application engagement activities.

MongoDB Migration/Decommission – UBS Estate

  • Completed the exit of the Database crew-managed native MongoDB estate from the CS environment, in coordination with application and business stakeholders.
  • Created all required RFCs and completed the agreed closure activities, including the retirement of MongoDB-related tooling and supporting utilities.
  • The decommissioning removed the remaining infrastructure and tooling footprint, reducing associated operational and licensing costs.

The epic was closed in Q2 and is not carried over to Q3.

Database Product Enhancement – Emerging DB

  • Enhanced the Azure Function invocation pipeline with asynchronous processing and separate agent pools, enabling parallel execution, reducing wait time and balancing workload across the pipelines.
  • Delivered same-account restore capability for Cosmos DB RU, allowing users to restore databases without creating an additional account.
  • Improved operational traceability by enabling Azure Function audit logs to be stored for activity and response tracking.
  • Progressed migration capabilities through RiotX validation for Redis-to-Azure Managed Redis migration and updates to the Cosmos RU-to-vCore migration pipeline using Entra ID.
  • Optimized the Cosmos metadata export process to support region-specific execution instead of processing all instances.
  • Rolled over to Q3: Completion of secure cross-tenant Cosmos RU-to-vCore migration validation without using a public endpoint.

I have treated the cross-tenant migration without a public endpoint as the rolled-over item, since it appears both in the main list and under “Rolled over to Q3.”

Based on the current epic template and the latest Microsoft discussion, update the epic in these sections.

1. Key Dependencies

Add this row:

Feature Dependency What? State
Azure Managed Redis adoption and migration Microsoft Azure regional capacity Availability of the required AMR capacity and suitable migration dates across the requested regions. Confirmation is also pending on the Redis service-extension request for applications affected by capacity constraints. Amber – capacity and migration dates pending confirmation from Microsoft

2. Background & Problem Statement

Background / Current State

Append this to the existing Emerging DB text:

Azure Managed Redis is the Microsoft-aligned replacement for Azure Cache for Redis. However, planned migrations are currently affected by Azure capacity constraints across multiple regions, and suitable provisioning and migration dates have not yet been confirmed for all required instances.

Problem / Need

Add this as point 3:

  1. AMR adoption and migration timelines depend on Microsoft confirming sufficient regional capacity. Delays in capacity allocation may impact the planned Redis migration deadlines and the overall product-adoption target.

3. Scope – Emerging DBs

Under Migration Assistance for AMR, expand the current entry to:

Migration Assistance for AMR:

  1. Migration tooling and pipeline support for end users.
  2. Consolidation of required AMR quantities, regions and migration timelines.
  3. Coordination with the Microsoft capacity team for suitable migration dates.
  4. Tracking of capacity blockers and Redis service-extension requests.
  5. Support in preparing application context and business-impact information for capacity escalation.

For Out of Scope, retain application infrastructure issues and add:

Resolution of Microsoft platform-level capacity limitations.

4. Work & Delivery Approach

Add an Emerging DB row using the following content:

Field Content
Platform / DB Emerging DBs – Azure Managed Redis
Key Deliverables AMR migration demand and capacity tracker; confirmed migration dates; capacity-escalation details; service-extension status
Approach / Steps Collect application-level quantity, region and timeline requirements; document business and customer impact; submit requirements to Microsoft; coordinate suitable migration dates; track capacity and extension decisions
Owner / Team Emerging DB Pod / Dhirendra Kumar, with Microsoft capacity team
Target Date Pending Microsoft capacity confirmation
Status Amber – At Risk
Success Criteria Required capacity and migration dates confirmed for planned applications, with an agreed mitigation or service extension for any application that cannot migrate within the current deadline

5. Risks / Mitigations

Keep the existing application-roadmap risk and add a second risk:

Risk: AMR adoption and planned Redis migrations may be delayed due to Microsoft Azure capacity constraints across multiple regions. This may affect the migration deadline and achievement of the product-adoption target.

Mitigation: Maintain an application-level capacity tracker covering quantity, region, required date and business impact. Provide Microsoft with the required justification for escalation, coordinate suitable migration dates, and track the Redis service-extension request for applications that cannot migrate within the current timeline.

Epic status summary

Add this near the beginning of the epic or in the latest status update:

AMR adoption is currently Amber due to Microsoft Azure regional capacity constraints. Required quantities, migration timelines and business-impact details are being consolidated for escalation. Confirmation of capacity dates and the Redis service-extension request remains pending.

The scheduled-shutdown investigation from the Microsoft discussion should be tracked separately under the Cost Optimisation epic, rather than included in this Product Adoption epic.

This Microsoft discussion confirms that the AMR capacity issue is still open and should remain reported as an Amber risk. You can now make the epic wording more specific.

Key Dependencies

Feature Dependency What? State
Azure Managed Redis migration Microsoft capacity and migration coordination Required AMR quantities, regions and migration timelines must be shared with Microsoft. Capacity availability and suitable migration dates are pending confirmation from the Microsoft capacity team. Amber – capacity and dates pending confirmation
Redis migration timeline Microsoft service-extension decision Confirmation is required on whether the existing Redis service deadline will be extended for applications affected by AMR capacity constraints. Open – extension request under review

Risks / Mitigations

Risk: Azure Managed Redis migrations may not be completed within the planned timeline because the required Microsoft Azure capacity and migration dates have not yet been confirmed. This may affect product-adoption targets and applications approaching the existing Redis service deadline.

Mitigation: Consolidate the required capacity by application and region, provide Microsoft with the relevant business impact, KPI and customer-impact justification, and coordinate proposed migration dates with the Microsoft capacity team. Continue tracking the Redis service-extension request and prioritize migrations where capacity becomes available.

Work and Delivery Approach

Add:

Maintain an application-level AMR migration tracker covering required capacity, target region, business impact, proposed migration date, Microsoft capacity status and service-extension dependency. Provide the consolidated requirements and business justification to support capacity escalation.

Current status update for the epic

AMR adoption remains Amber due to Microsoft Azure capacity constraints. Microsoft has requested consolidated capacity requirements, expected migration timelines and supporting business-impact details for escalation. Confirmation of suitable capacity dates and the Redis service-extension request remains pending.

The discussion about scheduled shutdowns is better captured as a separate enhancement or cost-optimization action, rather than as part of the main capacity risk:

Investigate whether AMR supports scheduled shutdown or other cost-saving options for lower environments and assess any impact on reserved or allocated capacity.

Subject: Follow-up on RBAC Testing and NoSQL API Discussion

Hi Sudhanshu,

Following up on the action items from our recent call:

Could you please share the server connection details required for the RBAC testing? Once received, we can coordinate the testing and provide feedback.

Also, regarding the unresolved NoSQL API questions, has an email thread already been initiated with the relevant Microsoft expert? I have already checked internally with Sanjay and Anitham, so it would be helpful to know if there is an existing thread that we should join.

Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi Jayesh,

We have completed the validation from the Emerging DB POD side.

The updates to the shared general.psm1 module, including the removal of AzureRM-related references, were successfully tested with our product-specific pipelines. We are not planning any changes to our dedicated pipeline YAML files to move from AzurePowerShell@5 to PowerShell@2 as part of this release.

We independently validated the following scripts:

  • validate-json.ps1
  • validate-mandatory-json.ps1
  • log-storage-account2.ps1
  • register-localaccounts-in-atti.ps1
  • create_mim_group_db.ps1

No issues or unintended impact were observed during testing. From the Emerging DB POD perspective, we are good to sign off on these changes.

Thanks & Regards,
Nikhil
