Explore Azure SQL databases as a platform as a service, a fully managed relational database. Connect apps to data with monitoring and geo replication for security and availability.
Learn how to secure Azure SQL databases with encryption in transit and at rest, data discovery and classification, firewall access control, authentication options, auditing, and threat detection.
Explore the database platform continuum from on-premise servers to cloud, comparing IaaS and PaaS in Azure SQL, cost, administration, and time-to-market impacts.
Learn how to export a database to blob storage using the export button, selecting the storage account and container, and verify the backup file in the blob container.
Verify Azure SQL DB copy operation by checking for the original and copied databases on the same server, and confirm identical table structures and content via the query editor.
Learn how to scale Azure SQL by configuring vertical scaling, selecting elastic, basic, standard, or premium options, and exploring geographic replication for workloads.
Learn to connect applications to a SQL database using connection strings, including copy-paste code for ODBC or PAGG and modifying password and attributes, with a view of database connections.
Configure granular data synchronization by selecting specific tables and columns from the hub to member databases, monitor progress, and adjust sync frequency for Azure SQL PaaS.
Enable dynamic data masking to limit exposure of sensitive data by masking fields such as phone numbers and credit card digits for non-privileged users, with rules for verification and compliance.
In this course, students will get an understanding of various features available in Azure SQL . There are theory sessions followed by practical ones. There will be live demonstrations as we progress through the class. There are numerous new features that Azure SQL as on today. You will learn various aspects like database redundancy , security in Azure SQL, geographic replication, metrics and monitoring options , taking snapshots and backups. You will also learn to audit the SQL DB and store the data in storage account for future investigations.
Azure offers a choice of fully managed relational, NoSQL, and in-memory databases, spanning proprietary and open-source engines, to fit the needs of modern app developers. Infrastructure management—including scalability, availability, and security—is automated, saving you time and money. Focus on building applications while Azure managed databases make your job simpler by surfacing performance insights through embedded intelligence, scaling without limits, and managing security threats.
You will see more content in near future . This will include managing SQL with Powershell and Azure CLI
As cloud is a moving target , I am sure there will be new features offered by Microsoft . I will keep this course updated to ensure that you get the latest and greatest stuff in this course at all times.
Happy Learning
