Using ACI to Convert a Backup to a BACPAC for Import into Azure SQL DB
Importing an existing SQL Server database into an Azure SQL Database is not a trivial task. You can only import a .bacpac file – you can’t attach a database or restore a backup. However, if you have a database backup file, you can convert it to a .bacpac! Join this session to learn about a project that will ingest a SQL Server .bak file into Azure File Share, create an Azure Container Instance running SQL Server, restore the database, and create a bacpac for import into Azure SQL Database. It demonstrates the power of linking multiple Azure services together, and will provide a great use case for SQL Server in containers.
