Explore why organizations move to the cloud for cost and maintenance, and compare Azure IaaS and PaaS with Azure SQL DB deployment options: single DB, elastic pool, and managed instance.
Explore Azure SQL Database models and pricing tiers, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS; compare single database, elastic pool, and managed instance, with pricing options from basic to v-core.
Create database users and assign roles in Azure SQL databases, understand master vs user databases, and compare SQL authentication, Windows authentication, and Azure Active Directory options.
Explore Azure SQL DB backups, point-in-time restores, and long-term backups, with server-to-server restore, renaming, and deleted databases recovery via the portal.
Learn how elastic databases and elastic pool models share resources across databases to save costs during unpredictable usage, and how to switch between elastic pool and single db models.
Use external tables and polybase to perform cross-database queries across databases. Create data sources, credentials, and a master key to enable read-only access via external tables.
Explains the DTU/D2 versus v-core models for Azure SQL Database, showing small databases benefit from DTU/D2 cost savings while large databases justify v-core for better scaling, with downtime-free switching.
Explains how failover groups provide high availability and disaster recovery for Azure SQL databases by grouping databases, enabling automatic or manual failover with read-write and read-only listeners and asynchronous replication.
Explore geo replication and data sync in Azure SQL, comparing failover groups and replicas, configuring object-level data synchronization, and understanding read scale out and disaster recovery implications.
Explore serverless Azure SQL pricing and models, including serverless mode, auto pause, and read-scale-out; use the Azure calculator to compare hybrid benefit, reservations, and IaaS backups.
This program has well designed and totally focused for SQL Server Database Administrators and to make them comfortably experts in Microsoft Azure (IaaS and PaaS)
