9. Topics Welcome Azure Data Storage Options Data Movement (ETL) Options
Security
Azure Sql Database
Creating, backing up and restoring ASDs
Maintenance
Support and Troubleshooting
Not supported in ASD

10. Basic Azure Concepts Subscriptions Resource groups Pricing Tiers
Physical grouping of resources
Follows (loosely) SDLC
Resource groups
Logical grouping of resources
Pricing Tiers
Not as clear as it used to be
PAAS vs IAAS
Computes and DTUs

11. Data Storage Options
File Storage (blobs, files, disks, tables, queues,…)
Azure Search
Azure Sql Database
CosmosDb
Azure Sql Datawarehouse
Sql Managed Instance

12. Azure Storage
Blobs: HIPPA compliant; text, binary; stored in containers
Durable, Secure(encrypted by default ), Scalable, Managed, Accessible
Azure Storage Explorer
Disks: storages for managed/unmanaged VMs; OS, tmp and VHDs
Files: fully managed file shares (on-prem/cloud)
Queues: messages up to 64MB
Azure Service Bus
Tables: key/value pairs; NoSQL data store
A table has entities (rows) which have properties (max 252)
Deprecated?
Azure File Shares for “life and shift”. Can replace on-prem files shares into Azure

13. Storage Configuration

14. Azure Sql Database Relational data store
From an application perspective, very similar to on-prem Sql Servers
Machine Learning and Analytics
Deeper dive shortly

15. Azure Search Microsoft’s take on ElasticSearch JSON based REST API
Accepts REGEX
HIPPA compliant!
Synonyms and relevance scoring
Auto-complete
Blob crawler
Security:

16. CosmosDb Relational and big data rolled into one Schema-less
MS has been throwing a lot of money at this
Formerly DocumentDb
5 consistency models
Every column indexed
Multi-tenant with global distribution
Geo-fencing
Latency guarantees (99% reads <10ms, <15ms writes)
Change feed
Azure portal is written on top of CosmosDb
Multi homing: no config changes, it always knows where the closest (geographically) is
Key value, column family, document (Mongo) or graph
Good choice if shape of data changes a lot; really high speed (millions of transactions per second), petabytes of data

17. Azure Sql Datawarehouse
Parallel data warehouse in the cloud
MPP massively parallel processing
Built in compression
Similar concerns as on-prem
Columnstore and in-memory tables/indices have preempted the need for dedicated hardware

18. Azure Data Lake Analytics
Azure Data Lake is built on Azure blob storage (hierarchical directories)
Do not need to copy/transform data
You can using u-sql
Similar to Hadoop HDFS
Map/Reduce functionality
Polybase
Databricks
Deprecated???

19. Managed Instance “cloud lifter” Buy storage
Can include SSIS, SSRS, jobs
Port on-prem up to Azure

20. Data Movement Options SSIS in the cloud Azure Data Factory (v2) U-Sql
VM (IAAS)
Azure Data Factory (v2)
Server-less SSIS components
U-Sql
T-Sql / Powershell / bcp / bulk insert
Azure Data Lake Storage gen2
Azure DataBricks
Apache Hive on Azure HDInsight
Azure Functions
Azure Logic Apps
Event Grid / Event Hub

21. Security Azure Active Directory Azure Key Vault
Asymmetric Key encryption
Symmetric Key encryption
Issue: Cannot use certificates!
Data Masking
TDE
Service Principals

22. Service Principal

23. Azure Sql Database Backup/restore (copy) Geo-replication TDE
Automatic Tuning
Long running queries
Security alerts
Elastic storage pools
Query Editor

24. Not Supported in Azure Sql Db
(with workarounds!)
3 part object naming
Service Broker (queues)
Linked Servers
Replication (geo-replication)
Log Shipping (geo-replication)
CDC (temporal tables)
Sql Jobs (Azure jobs, IAAS, logic apps)
SSIS as PAAS (Azure Data Factory, on prem or IAAS)
SSRS as PAAS (Power BI, on prem or IAAS)
