Chapter 4: Azure Arc Enabled SQL Server
In this chapter, we'll explore the hybrid management capabilities offered by Azure Arc for SQL servers. We will onboard on-premises SQL Server virtual machines to Azure Arc to understand the process in detail and perform management and security assessments for SQL Server. This will give us a good kickstart in understanding Azure Arc enabled data services and how Azure Arc automates database management tasks for management at scale.
We'll be covering the following topics:
- Introducing Azure Arc enabled SQL Server
- Supported management scenarios
- Preparing on-premises machines for Azure Arc enabled SQL Server
- Onboarding SQL servers to Azure Arc
- Managing SQL servers with Azure Arc
