Hey everybody,
I have a question regarding the TCP-Port allocation in an environment with multiple SQL Server 2016 instances on a single machine.
We have a SQL Server machine which houses multiple instances for multiple customers.
One of these customers is in the process of setting up a Data Warehouse application which is hosted on AWS and would like to access his instance from this tool.
Setting up a Site2Site tunnel between AWS and our SQL Server would have been my preferred method, but we opted instead to open up the TCP port of the SQL instance in the firewall and retrict access to the AWS IP.
However, right now dynamic port allocation is enabled for all SQL instances on this server. At the moment, the instance in question is reachable under the port 49248, but this will probably change after the next reboot.
My idea was to simply change...
