The program gives database administrators and data professionals a practical, end-to-end method to run production Azure SQL workloads, from choosing the right service tier to tuning performance, locking down access, and recovering from failure.

As more of your data estate moves to Azure and downtime or a breach gets expensive fast, this program helps your teams administer Azure SQL workloads that stay secure, performant, and always available.
