Azure SQL Server Database Administrator

ENROLLMENT ON GOING

Course Overview

The Azure SQL Server Database Administrator course is designed to provide professionals with a strong foundation in managing SQL Server workloads in the cloud. It aims to bridge the gap between traditional on-premises database administration and modern cloud-based solutions. A core focus of the course is guiding learners through the end-to-end process of migrating databases from on-premises environments to Azure, using tools like the Data Migration Assistant (DMA) and Azure Database Migration Service (DMS). Learners will gain deep insights into deploying, configuring, and managing Azure SQL Databases, Managed Instances, and SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines. The course emphasizes building a security-first mindset through encryption, identity management, and auditing, while also mastering performance tuning and cost optimization using Azure's monitoring and analytics tools. Students will learn how to automate routine administrative tasks, implement high availability and disaster recovery strategies, and integrate DevOps practices for database deployments. Additional focus areas include hybrid cloud management, licensing and pricing strategies, and preparing for the Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate (DP-300) certification. Real-world labs and hands-on scenarios ensure that learners develop job-ready skills to confidently manage enterprise-grade SQL environments on Azure.
