AZURE SQL DATABASE

Microsoft Azure SQL Database is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS)


database engine that handles most of the database management functions such as upgrading,
patching, backups, and monitoring without user involvement. It’s built on the SQL Server
database engine, with additional features designed for modern cloud applications. Here are
some key aspects:

 Managed Cloud Database Service: Azure SQL Database is a managed service that is
always up to date with the latest SQL Server features and security updates.
 Scalability: It offers a scalable service that can handle large amounts of data and a high rate
of transactions.
 Flexibility: Users can choose from a variety of service tiers to match their performance and
cost requirements.
 Security: It includes built-in security features that help protect your data and support
compliance with various standards.
 Serverless Compute: Azure SQL Database provides a serverless compute option that
automatically scales based on workload demand and bills for the amount of compute used per
second.
 Intelligent Performance: It offers intelligent performance features that can automatically
optimize your database for high performance.

Azure SQL Database is suitable for a range of applications, from small projects to large-scale
enterprise workloads, and is a key component of Microsoft’s Azure data platform. If you’re
interested in learning more or getting started with Azure SQL Database, Microsoft provides
extensive documentation and resources

 Popular use cases:

 Relational data storage for cloud-based applications and websites


 Business and consumer web and mobile apps
 Manage databases for multi-tenant apps (software-as-a-service)
 Quickly create dev and test databases to speed up development cycles
 Scale production business services quickly and at a known cost
 Containerize data in the cloud for isolation and security
 Reduce database administration overhead through increased automation
 Design:

Azure SQL Database is built on the foundation of the SQL server database and
therefore, kept in sync with the latest version of it by using the common code base. Since the
cloud version of the database technology strives to decouple it from the underlying
computing infrastructure, it doesn't support some of the context specific T-SQL
features available in the traditional SQL server. However, rest of the features are the same
with incompatibilities spelled out by Microsoft. Azure SQL Database is also similar to
Microsoft's SQL Managed instance offering, with some differences.

Azure SQL is a family of managed, secure, and intelligent products that use the SQL
Server database engine in the Azure cloud. Azure SQL is built upon the familiar SQL Server
engine, so you can migrate applications with ease and continue to use the tools, languages,
and resources you're familiar with. Your skills and experience transfer to the cloud, so you
can do even more with what you already have.

 The three products in the Azure SQL family are:


 Azure SQL Database: Support modern cloud applications on an intelligent, managed
database service that includes serverless compute.
 Azure SQL Managed Instance: Modernize your existing SQL Server applications at
scale with an intelligent fully managed instance as a service, with almost 100% feature
parity with the SQL Server database engine. Best for most migrations to the cloud.
 SQL Server on Azure VMs: Lift-and-shift your SQL Server workloads with ease and
maintain 100% SQL Server compatibility and operating system-level access.
 Protect our data with built-in intelligent security
Azure constantly monitors your data for threats.
 Remediate potential threats in real time with intelligent advanced threat detection and
proactive vulnerability assessment alerts.
 Get industry-leading, multi-layered protection with built-in security controls including
T-SQL, authentication, networking, and key management.
 Take advantage of the most comprehensive compliance coverage of any cloud database
service.
