Announcing Our New Course Azure SQL Managed Instance

Want to learn Azure SQL Managed Instance? We are excited to announce our new course Azure SQL Managed Instance! This fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering from Azure enables us to migrate our on-premise SQL Server instances into the Azure cloud, rather than using a virtual machine and an IaaS structure.

This intelligent and scalable cloud database service combines nearly 100% compatibility with the latest SQL Server (Enterprise Edition) database engine and surface compatibility along with all the awesome benefits of a fully managed Platform as a Service. SQL Managed Instance is always up to date in the cloud and offers easy database migration.

To take the Azure SQL Managed Instance course you should have some basic knowledge of the Azure portal itself. Things like navigation and an understanding of how to provision some basic resources such as resource groups or storage accounts will help but is not required. If you’re new to Azure, you can still dive into this class.

If you’re an Azure beginner, the beginning module will give you a crash course on how to use the Azure portal. Then we’ll move on to the process of provisioning a managed instance, as well as get into what the benefits of managed instances are and what the cost looks like.

As with all our courses, we don’t just broadly cover the material, we dive deep into the content with hands-on labs that cover all of the key features of Azure SQL Managed Instance, which combines the best of Azure SQL Database and the SQL Server database engine.

So, if you’ve been looking to learn Azure SQL Managed Instance and know how to best integrate it into your organization, this course is for you! You can get started today with a free 7-day trial of our On-Demand Learning platform to try out this class or any of our 60+ classes covering Power BI, Azure, Power Platform, SQL Server, T-SQL and much more!
