This session will guide you through the journey of evolving your DBA role from managing on-premises SQL Server databases to becoming Azure SQL DBA in the era of AI.

You will learn which responsibilities to retain, which to share with Microsoft, and how to use the freed-up time to build cloud and AI skills. We will cover Azure SQL architecture across key areas such as high availability, BCDR, backup and restore, performance, connectivity, and map them directly to traditional SQL Server DBA responsibilities. You will also learn how to leverage Copilot and AI capabilities that can significantly boost DBA productivity.

Meet the product team behind these solutions to ask questions, share feedback, and learn about the upcoming roadmap.
