[All DP-200 Questions]

A company manages several on-premises Microsoft SQL Server databases.
You need to migrate the databases to Microsoft Azure by using a backup process of Microsoft SQL Server.
Which data technology should you use?

  • A. Azure SQL Database single database
  • B. Azure SQL Data Warehouse
  • C. Azure Cosmos DB
  • D. Azure SQL Database Managed Instance
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Managed instance is a new deployment option of Azure SQL Database, providing near 100% compatibility with the latest SQL Server on-premises (Enterprise
Edition) Database Engine, providing a native virtual network (VNet) implementation that addresses common security concerns, and a business model favorable for on-premises SQL Server customers. The managed instance deployment model allows existing SQL Server customers to lift and shift their on-premises applications to the cloud with minimal application and database changes.

You can only do backup and restore to a managed instance. See page 60 https://azure.microsoft.com/mediahandler/files/resourcefiles/choosing-your-database-migration-path-to-azure/Choosing_your_database_migration_path_to_Azure.pdf

The managed instance is the resource, which is closest to an on-prem SQL-server, whereas a SQL database is limited (e.g. support for R). The lift and shift is the least effort solution for a SQL server

Correct answer is D: Azure SQL Managed Instance. Azure SQL Managed Instance is designed for customers looking to migrate a large number of apps from an on-premises or IaaS, self-built, or ISV provided environment to a fully managed PaaS cloud environment, with as low a migration effort as possible.

SQL Managed Instance allows existing SQL Server customers to lift and shift their on-premises applications to the cloud with minimal application and database changes. At the same time, SQL Managed Instance preserves all PaaS capabilities (automatic patching and version updates, automated backups, high availability) that drastically reduce management overhead and TCO.

Why isn't it single db? If the question asked a backup and restore then I would prefer to choose managed db.

Because there are several databases. Single db is only good for very few databases.
