Evaluating Microsoft SQL Server Options for Azure

2021-12-01

As organisations transition to increasingly sophisticated workloads, applications and solutions to Azure, several common pitfalls have emerged along the way. Modern organisations demand a high degree of governance and oversight on their IT infrastructure and operations while expecting cloud solutions to deliver equivalent or better compliance to their own unique, established best practices.

In this white paper we go over what to avoid so you don’t make those mistakes, and deliver an in-depth examination of the most popular approaches to running SQL Server on Azure, including SQL Server on Ubuntu Pro for Azure.

Considering various deployment options, this white paper examines:

Pricing models
Support options
Availability and Service Level Agreements
Licensing and compliance
Patch management
Security hardening
Accreditation
Total cost of ownership
Self-managed versus self-supported options
