Topic:

In this session you will get fundamentals of Azure SQL PaaS (Platform as a Service) options from DBA perspective. I will go over Azure SQL DB and Managed Instance options first and then describe what are the differences between the two and why would you choose one over the other. Azure SQL is a very mature Microsoft product and can handle enterprise level SQL Server workload while providing security, high availability and performance for your data. I will also explain the main differences in supporting databases on-premises versus Azure SQL to alleviate your fears if you have one that is what is blocking you from adopting Azure SQL. If you are a DBA or your organization is considering moving to Azure Cloud, this session is for you.
