Description: In this session, we will learn about the different options for SQL deployments in Azure. After this session, you should be able to understand the key differences between SQL Server On-Premises, SQL in an Azure VM (IaaS), and using Azure SQL DB (Single database, Elastic Pools, and Managed Instances.) In addition, we will evaluate different service tiers within Azure SQL DB to determine different workloads and business requirements. (Serverless, Hyperscale, General Purpose, and Business Critical.)
