Explore why organizations move to the cloud and compare IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in Azure, highlighting cost savings and database patterns like elastic pools and single databases.
Learn how to create logins and users in Azure SQL databases, configure authentication options (contained users, password logins, external providers), and assign object-level permissions for secure access.
Explore how to back up and restore Azure SQL databases, including retention policies by service tier, point-in-time recovery, long-term backups, and cross-environment restores using scripts and import-export.
Explore elastic databases and the elastic pool model to save costs by sharing resources among databases with unpredictable workloads, and learn to scale up or down as needed.
Learn to access data from one database to another using cross queries with external tables. Create external datasources and credentials to link servers and retrieve data across databases.
Compare the dtu model and vcore model for azure sql databases, weighing memory, cpu and pricing across premium, general-purpose and serverless options to optimize costs.
Explore high availability and disaster recovery with failover groups, comparing database level and object level options, and examining synchronous and asynchronous replication alongside manual versus automatic failover.
Explore geo-replication and data sync for Azure SQL, focusing on failover groups, primary and secondary databases, cross-region availability, and the trade-offs between synchronous and asynchronous replication.
Learn how to set up data sync for high availability and disaster recovery by configuring publisher and subscriber databases. Choose bidirectional or one-way replication, with conflict resolution and failover options.
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)
