Learn Azure SQL Database through Demos

Talkat SQL Server Virtual Conference 2021 · on Friday, 2021-01-29· [databases, security]

Live demos show Azure SQL deployed from the portal with choices: general purpose, business critical or hyperscale (supports up to 100 terabytes and up to 4 readable replicas). Networking compares public endpoint leakage vs private endpoint DNS hides region. Security demos use auditing to blob/storage and Log Analytics, built-in data discovery/classification, dynamic masking with grant unmask/revoke unmask and Azure Defender catching a simulated SQL injection immediately. Performance uses Query Store, dm_db_resource_stats and ALTER DATABASE to scale from 2 vCores to 8 vCores cutting a 1m43s workload roughly in half. High-availability shows business critical failing over almost instantly while general purpose takes a few extra seconds; auto-failover groups preserve endpoints for app continuity.
