There could exist up to 100 links from the same, or various SQL Server sources to a single SQL Managed Instance. This limit is governed by the number of databases that could be hosted on a managed instance at this time. Likewise, a single SQL Server can establish multiple parallel database replication links with several managed instances in different Azure regions in a 1 to 1 relationship between a database and a managed instance . The feature requires CU13 or higher to be installed on SQL Server 2019.
