Today we are announcing the preview availability of workload importance on the Gen2 platform to help customers manage resources more efficiently. Workload importance gives data engineers the ability to use importance to classify requests. Requests with higher importance are guaranteed quicker access to resources which helps meet SLAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMore with less\u201d is often the motto when it comes to operating data warehousing solutions. The ability to easily scale up compute resources gives data engineers tremendous flexibility. However, when there is budget pressure and scaling down is required, problems can arise.&nbsp; Workload importance allows high business value work to meet SLAs in a shared environment with fewer resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example of workload importance is shown below. The CEO\u2019s request was submitted last and classified with high importance. Because the CEO\u2019s request has high importance, it is granted access to resources before the Analyst requests allowing it to complete sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/bbee0698-36d0-4d0b-ab86-95a692057e26.gif\" alt=\"AnimatedRequestQueueV2-half\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"AnimatedRequestQueueV2-half\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"get-started-now-classifying-requests-with-importance\">Get started now classifying requests with importance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Classifying requests is done with the new <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/sql\/t-sql\/statements\/create-workload-classifier-transact-sql\">CREATE WORKLOAD CLASSIFIER<\/a> syntax. Below is an example that maps the login for the ExecutiveReports role to <code>ABOVE_NORMAL<\/code> importance and the AdhocUsers role to <code>BELOW_NORMAL<\/code> importance.
