Prepare to design, administer, secure, scale, and migrate relational databases in Microsoft Azure while building knowledge aligned with the Microsoft DP-300: Administering Relational Databases on Azure certification. You’ll begin by exploring the certification structure, setting up an Azure learning environment, comparing Azure SQL deployment models, configuring connectivity, provisioning an Azure SQL Database, and working with sample databases.

As you progress, you’ll evaluate relational database solutions based on workload, functionality, performance, security, availability, scalability, and compliance requirements. You’ll plan resilient architectures, assess backup and security options, and apply vertical and horizontal scaling strategies. You’ll also use SQL replicas, sharding, and SQL Data Sync to improve distributed database performance and availability. Designed for database professionals and learners preparing for DP-300, this course combines foundational platform setup with scenario-based planning, practical demonstrations, and advanced migration strategies. You’ll learn to assess compatibility, plan and execute migrations from on-premises or cloud environments using Azure assessment tools and services, minimize downtime, preserve data integrity, and optimize post-migration success. Enroll to develop a structured, practical approach to Azure SQL database administration and migration.
