From time to time, customers would like for us to host SSIS packages that perform focused operations on data within their cloud environment. Examples of operations performed could include things such as packaging data for upload via SFTP, calling an external library over a linked server, and more.
For the most part, SSIS packages are easily approved for cloud hosting. However, we do need to know the description of what each package does, so that we can review for potential security or architectural conflicts.
There is a small set of steps that should be followed to obtain approval for us to host your SSIS Packages in our cloud:
Create a cloud transformation / support ticket with the list of each SSIS package that you would like for us to host.
Attach a description of each package to the case, along with the data it accesses and the processes that it uses.
Attach the .ispac files for each package, again making sure to include any details that are pertinent about what the packages will be accessing.
Submit the case.
Assuming the packages are not asking for anything too outside the norm, such as granting "SA" privileges or needing write permissions to the local file system (See article on items not approved), approvals are usually within 48 hours.
