Summary
In this chapter, we have delved into the various options for storing data in Azure. First, we examined how we need to consider what type of data we are storing – structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
We then looked at how we can use and configure Azure storage accounts, before diving into the various SQL options we have available to us.
Finally, we looked at Cosmos DB, a modern, cloud-native, NoSQL database solution that enables us to build truly global solutions.
In the next chapter, we will look at how we might migrate existing applications to Azure. We will consider the options from a compute perspective, as well as how Azure data solutions map to on-premises data storage mechanisms.
