At this point, it is no secret that the cloud, particularly Azure for purposes of this session, is firmly established and a place where many companies want to be. If you are a data professional, particularly a database administrator, who has spent their entire career in an on-premises world Azure can be exciting and perhaps a bit uncomfortable. During this session, we will take a whirlwind tour through the data platform options available in Azure including differentiating Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). From there we will spend the rest of our time focusing on how the skills and knowledge you have spent years building, translate to SQL Server offerings in Azure right now, plus we will touch on a couple of key differences that prime you for success in the world of Azure Data.
