Azure SQL Database Administration for the on-prem DBA
Have you heard that the role of the DBA is going to disappear because of Azure? You heard wrong! What you should have heard is: The role of the DBA in Azure is just different. Some tasks are going away, some tasks are new and some are just not what they were before.
Azure SQL provides you with the best of Cloud and SQL Server. Let us take a closer look at the differences between an on-prem SQL Server and the various Azure SQL offerings across Security, Management, Monitoring, T-SQL and more – including the tasks being taken care of by Microsoft as part of the PaaS offerings. This session will show you what you need to take your career to the next level and become an Azure SQL DBA.

In this session, we'll evaluate all of the security options available with Azure SQL Database and how we can use them to secure an Azure SQL Database Deployment.
Azure Networking for SQL Server DBAs
As organisations adopt Microsoft Azure, it's important for DBAs to have an understanding of the overall Azure environment such as Azure Networking other than Azure SQL offerings.
As a DBA, you may not be required to setup an Azure Networking infrastructure however knowledge of Networking can help understand how the different pieces are plugged together to create a secure SQL deployment. In this demo heavy session, we'll cover the basics of Azure Networking and how we can use it effectively to secure an IaaS or PaaS SQL deployment.
