August Meeting: Getting Started with Azure SQL Database - with Jim Donahoe

The Albuquerque SQL Server User Group (ABQSQL) will be having its next meeting on Friday, August 11th from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM online via Microsoft Teams.

This month Jim Donahoe, SQL and Azure infrastructure expert, will be getting us up to speed on working with Azure SQL Database. Please join us for his presentation “Getting Started with Azure SQL Database". Ask Jim your data questions, and get to know your peers!

Presentation description: "Azure SQL Database offers a way to quickly spin up new databases with minimal management requirements. However, the number of differences between on-premises SQL Server and Azure SQL Database can be overwhelming. Even worse, with DBaaS it’s not clear who is responsible for what anymore.

In this session, we will cover all the basic steps of getting your first Azure SQL Database instance spun up. We’ll cover common gotchas, like firewall settings and resource locks. We’ll also dive into some more advanced options with templates, allowing you to make your processes reproducible.

By the end of this presentation, you’ll understand if Azure SQL Database is the right choice for you and your needs. You’ll understand how it can simplify management and allow you to scale easily. Finally, you’ll have the confidence to go and create your own instance with ease."
