This is part 3 of the Azure SQL Database series. In this session I cover the Azure SQL Database security related concepts. This is a very demo heavy session. I start off with what Azure SQL server-level security is; I cover concepts such as firewall rules and logins with master database roles. Then next I move onto explaining what database-level security is and how users are created for each databases by mapping them to logins. Clear explanations are given on why logins and users are both required in Azure SQL. I also demonstrate each concept in details.

 

Microsoft Azure Training 45 – Azure SQL Database – Part 2 – Advanced Topics (Exam 70-533)

This is part 2 of the Azure SQL Database series. In this sequel of Azure SQL, the session is jam packed with hand-on demo of  creating Azure SQL server and database and exploring all the features and properties. I then demo how to use SQL Server Management studio to connect to the Azure SQL server and browse Azure databases and as create databases to SQL Azure. The latter half of this session dives into creating an On-premise SQL and a database and finally migrating that on premise database to SQL Azure through a wizard in the SQL Management Studio.

This is the part 1 of the Azure SQL Database series. Azure SQL Database is a PaaS offering from Microsoft for Database as a service in Azure. This session is concepts heavy where I discuss various database options available from Azure. I discuss how Azure SQL can be created to rapidly work on databases. How the Azure SQL databases are resilient as soon as they are created. Further, I go over important concepts like Database Tiers which are important to gauge performance and pricing of the databases. In this session I also go over the complex concept of DTUs which are the units of performance in SQL Azure. As usual a Demo is provided at the end to bring it all together.

Microsoft Azure Training 43 – Azure Recovery Services – Part 3 – Azure Backup Server (Exam 70-533)

This is the part 3 of the Azure Recovery Services series. In this session I introduce Azure backup server (MABS); a full blown backup solution similar to Microsoft System Center DPM to backup application workloads like SQL Databases, Exchange, SharePoint etc. In this session I go over the various advantages and disadvantages of using Azure backup server and all the necessary architectural gotchas. I mention in the session that how Azure Backup Server is like DPM but what the differences are. The demo contains installation of Azure Backup Server, configuration and deployment of the backup agents to application workload servers like MS SQL.

Microsoft Azure Training 42 – Azure Recovery Services – Part 2 – Azure VM Backup (Exam 70-533)

This is the part 2 of the Azure Recovery Services series. In this series I move on from backing up individual files and folders of a VM to backing up an entire VM in running on Azure. I provide the internal workings on how Azure backup actually backs up an Azure VM and some of the best practices to follow while backing up the Azure VMs. Further I identify that Azure storage account limitations are mostly what impacts the Azure backups and what to watch out for. In the Demo I register an Azure VM to be backed up and create the backup policy as well. After the initial backup is done I show how to restore the VM backup in case the VM were to be corrupted or deleted somehow.
