In this lesson
Prepare for the DP-300 exam (Administering Microsoft Azure SQL Solutions). In this lesson: migration requirements (sizes, accepted downtime, instance-level dependencies), assessing compatibility, sizing, and costs with Azure Migrate and the Azure Arc migration assessment, choosing between online and offline migrations, targets, and tools like Azure Database Migration Service, and planning the cutover, instance objects, rollback, and post-migration checks. Includes three original practice questions.
Preview the topics
- Contoso has two hundred SQL Server instances on VMware, and wants target recommendations, sizing, and monthly cost estimates for all of them, before choosing its Azure SQL targets. What should it use?
- Contoso’s prescriptions database moves to Azure SQL Managed Instance, can stop for only a few minutes, and must stay readable in Azure for weeks of testing before the cutover. Which method fits?
- After moving a database to Managed Instance with a database-level tool, Contoso’s application cannot sign in, and the nightly jobs are missing. What did the plan miss?
