If you manage SQL Server - whether on-premises, in Azure, in another cloud, or spread across all three you already know the pain of not having a single, authoritative view of your environment.
Where are all my instances? Which ones haven't been backed up? Which databases are violating best practices? How do I track health across hundreds of servers without opening a dozen different tools?

Azure Arc changes that entirely - and in this session, we're going to show you how.

Built on the real-world examples delivered by the Azure SQL team, this session takes you inside the unified management experience for SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc, giving you the complete DBA playbook: from Arc-enabling your SQL Server estate, to writing powerful KQL queries in Azure Resource Graph that surface your entire extended SQL Server footprint across every environment you manage, to building live monitoring dashboards - all the way through to the next generation of Best Practice Assessment (BPA v2), which now runs without requiring a Log Analytics workspace, supports Failover Cluster Instances, and delivers a fully modernized results experience through a native Azure portal blade.

We'll cover the same KQL patterns and inventory techniques that have already helped enterprise customers standardize on Azure Arc helping them gain full visibility into their SQL Server estate at scale.

You'll leave this session with real-world KQL examples, dashboard monitoring strategies, and a deep understanding of BPA v2's 500+ best practice rules, all ready to apply the moment you get back to the office.

This is the session for the DBA who is done flying blind, ready to gain full visibility and get the upper hand on managing their environment.
