Summary
In this chapter, we expanded our knowledge of Azure Arc enabled servers to include additional management capabilities for Microsoft SQL Server hosted on Windows or Linux machines running outside Azure. We looked at how we can onboard SQL servers running outside Azure with Azure Arc. We enabled the SQL health assessment for our on-prem databases and reviewed the recommendations. Later, we enabled advanced data security with Azure Security Center and looked at several recommendations provided by Azure Security Center.
The skills attained in this chapter will be useful in getting started with databases on the cloud while using your on-premises Database Administration (DBA) skills.
In the next chapter, we will continue with Azure Arc enabled data services and explore deploying and managing PostgreSQL databases through Azure Arc.
