SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines allows you to move workloads with minimal changes
There are several ways to migrate SQL Server databases to Azure, depending on how much change and modernization an organization wants.
For a simple lift-and-shift approach, SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines allows you to move workloads with minimal changes while keeping full control of the environment.
If you want to reduce management overhead but still maintain strong compatibility with SQL Server, Azure SQL Managed Instance is the recommended option. It offers many PaaS benefits while keeping near full feature compatibility.
For cloud native modernization, Azure SQL Database provides a fully managed platform with high scalability, security, and minimal administration effort.
Microsoft also recommends using Azure Migrate and Database Migration Service to assess and execute migrations with lower risk and minimal downtime.
We can all agree that the right migration path depends on your goals: control, balance, or full modernization.
