Hello,
Firstly, apologies if I have posted in the wrong spot, I could not find a 'Migration' forum here. Happy to move it elsewhere if need be.
I am using the Database Migration Assistant to recommend an Azure SQL Managed Instance SKU for an on-premises SQL Server 2017 instance. I ran the assessment over 3-4 weeks, but the results I either do not understand or are questionable. One of the results I got was:
Database Name: N/A Whole Instance
Platform / Service Tier: Azure SQL Managed Instance – Gen5- General Purpose
Compute Sizing: 8 vCores
Storage Sizing: 4512 GB
Based on the performance counters for your CPU, memory, storage, IOPS, and IO latency that were collected between 6/13/2024 6:56:00 AM and 7/5/2024 4:38:43 AM, the optimal AzureSqlManagedInstance SKU that we recommend you migrate to is: SQLMI_GP_Gen5_8. This SKU satisfies 0% of your current utilization needs with a 1.02x buffer on your current CPU usage.
What does it mean when it says:
'This SKU satisfies 0% of your current utilization needs with a 1.02x buffer on your current CPU usage.'
If it satisfies 0% of my current utilization needs, why did it not recommend a different tier or SKU that does? Or am I misinterpreting it?
Thank you for reading and for any help or recommendations.

I've never used it, especially not in anger, so I've got nothing. However, I've reached out to see if I can get someone over here to help out.
