Critical Considerations When Migrating Databases to the Cloud

Welcome!

Data Ceili are proud to bring you this pre-conference event. All of our precons will be running in Trinity College Dublin on Thursday 8th June.

Precon Summary

Microsoft Azure jumped to 59% cloud utilization for SMB's and 80% market utilization for enterprises in the annual Flexera State of the Cloud report. In fact, research shows that cloud migration adoption rates would be even higher if there were enough database professionals with migration skills to do the work.

Attend this session to learn the skills needed to fully execute a database migration to the Azure SQL data platform. This full-day session includes multiple lessons, including:

1. Migration assessment and planning
2. Landing zone design
3. Budgeting and cost control
4. Security
5. Migration tools
6. Deployment and administration

In this session, we will walk through the important steps to migrate an on-premises SQL Server database into a fully operational cloud data platform running on Azure or AWS. You will learn the important questions to resolve before your migration and the most important considerations and technical nuances when designing the Azure infrastructure for your cloud application. Finally, you will learn how to properly migrate, test, and deploy your source database into an Azure architecture that facilitate better database management outcomes than ever before. Join us!
