Modernizing SQL Platforms for Azure & AI Readiness
Details
## Modernizing SQL Platforms for Azure & AI Readiness
Join us for the inaugural session of Azure, SQL & AI Modernization – Global Community.
AI initiatives often fail — not because models are weak, but because databases were never designed for cloud scale, DevOps automation, or semantic clarity.
In this session, we’ll explore what it truly takes to modernize traditional SQL Server environments into Azure-ready, DevOps-enabled, AI-capable architectures.
We will cover:
• Why poor schema design and missing metadata block AI initiatives
• Azure migration decision patterns (IaaS vs PaaS vs Managed Instance)
• Database DevOps & CI/CD for lifecycle governance
• High Availability & Disaster Recovery in the cloud era
• Designing AI-ready databases with structure, integrity, and extended metadata
This session is designed for DBAs, data engineers, database developers, architects, and IT leaders responsible for platform modernization and reliability.
