    Is Azure SQL different from SQL Server?

    Yes, Azure SQL is different from SQL Server – and Azure SQL isn't just the cloud-enabled version of SQL Server. The primary difference is that in SQL Server, only your databases reside on the server, but SQL Server is multitenant and shares physical resources with multiple clients. As far as configuration and management are concerned, the differences are very subtle – a course like this Azure SQL Essentials can bring a SQL Server administrator quickly up to speed.

Software developers will learn how to produce apps more efficiently, while cloud or database administrators can learn how to manage warehouses and models to optimize throughput.

    Who is this for?

    This Azure SQL Essentials training is based on administrator-level software development training, which means it was designed for cloud administrators.
