Microsoft Azure is the world’s second-largest cloud computing provider, delivering a wide array of services, including storage, computing, networking, and analytics. Azure delivers tools that assist you efficiently and quickly migrating on-premises resources, including databases, to the Azure cloud.
You can migrate on-prem databases driving various database engines, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server, to the Azure cloud. Azure migration helps with numerous methods, including importing and exporting database content into a consistent database on Azure, supporting databases and reforming them on Azure, documenting custom migration code, or utilizing automated Azure Database Migration Service (DMS).
Azure delivers three main circumstances to execute SQL Server in Azure, including:
- IaaS on Azure – install & execute the database on Azure virtual machines (VMs).
- PaaS on Azure – migrate the on-prem database to Azure SQL Database.
- IaaS and PaaS – utilize Azure SQL Database managed instances to gain IaaS and PaaS features.
Azure offers free, automated tools that assist you in performing Azure migration for on-premises SQL Server databases, using any of these above deployment models.
