Course Overview
This learning path prepares you for the task of migrating SQL Server workloads to Azure SQL.
You'll learn how to assess SQL Server components and compatibility for migration using the Azure SQL Migration Extension and Database Migration Assistant. You'll also learn how to provision and configure Azure SQL resources. You'll gain hands-on experience in choosing the best migration option to meet business requirements for downtime, handling migration state, and monitoring database migration.
Additionally, you'll also learn to perform post-migration tasks like disaster recovery and monitoring. These skills are essential for ensuring a smooth, efficient transition to Azure SQL, and maintaining its operation post-migration.
