Summary

This lesson was an introduction to the SQL DBaaS offering from Microsoft. We learned about the Azure SQL Database architecture and the different layers that make up the Azure SQL Database infrastructure.

We also learned about the request flow through the different layers when a user connects to and queries an Azure SQL database. We learned how to connect to and query a database from SQL Server Management Studio and the Azure portal.

We learned about the latest Azure SQL Database offering, Azure managed instance, and also learned how to provision a managed instance using PowerShell.

Most importantly, the lesson covered the differences between an on-premises SQL database and an Azure SQL database, along with the unsupported features on an Azure SQL database.

In the next lesson, we will discuss how to migrate data from an on-premises system to an Azure SQL database.
