About This Course

Master your skills to efficiently manage and maintain data on the cloud

Azure SQL Database is the  cloud version of SQL Server. It differs in terms of management,  maintenance and administration.  It’s important to know how to  administer SQL Database so that you can get the most out of the features  that it provides. You will learn different management aspects of an  Azure SQL Database, such as migration, backup and restoration, pricing,  security, scalability, monitoring and performance optimization, high  availability and disaster recovery. You’ll start by understanding the  architecture of the Azure SQL Database and its service tiers. Through a  narrative of a DBA, who is migrating from a traditional on-premises  system to Azure SQL Database, this course will explain the concepts by  using different scenarios you might come across while working with Azure  SQL Database. If you are interested in developing new or migrating  existing applications with Azure SQL Database, then this course is for  you.

This course covers all of the aspects related to Azure SQL DB. It could go deeper in detail/cases - some interesting features get no demo nor use cases (elastic jobs; can elastic pools be set on shards only? I guess not?).
½ less for chapter 7 audio. It's so low that I could hardly hear it.

The course is a good course just that the teacher is very fast. A little bit of slowness will really help. In any case, it's a great course for beginners.
