Cosmos database helps to handle the real-time data with large changes managed by big data technology. Azure Cosmos database is highly available (99.999% available) and dynamically scalable and has very low latency while loading and fetching the data.


It is a NoSQL database used to store structure, unstructured or semi-structured data to the azure. Using data factory users can create data-driven ETL pipelines for data movement and transform data at scale. used for extracting the required data and performing the transformation on the data to analyze the logs for data and get more insight into the data. Azure Data Factory Serviceĭata factory service is a managed ETL (Extract Transform Load) cloud service and integration service. To synchronize the data it uses the hub and spoke topology and hub database is always an Azure SQL database. It is based on the sync group and SQL data sync service is built on Azure SQL database service and can be used to synchronize the data bi-directionally across various databases both in the cloud or the on-premise machines. If some data is stored in the specific tables then the user can migrate the entire table and also it has a filter condition based on data the user can filter out hot and cold data and migrate selected rows only. Stretch database is cost-effective to transfer data and does not require many changes to queries or application whether data is stretched to the cloud or is on on-premise machines. SQL Server Stretch Database ServiceĪzure uses the Stretch database to migrate the cold or infrequently accessed data to Azure cloud, It is used to replicate data transparently and securely to the cloud. This service has a premium pricing tier based on this managed instance. This service is also used for different existing Azure tools and services to give customers high availability. It is a fully managed service that is used for seamless migration from various database sources and on-premise SQL servers to the Azure data platform with fewer user interactions and optimized time with online integration. Database services offer different services tiers and compute size based on the data and also have dynamic scalability. Azure database service also offers a database migration service that integrates the existing azure services with the tools so that customers can generate the assessment reports to get the recommendation of the changes in the configuration needed before migration.Īzure offers various services to migrate the data from different sources or on-premise SQL server data to the cloud.Microsoft is responsible for managing and maintenance of all the application fixes (patching) and related services and supposes customer want to deploy or migrate the SQL server to the Azure virtual machines and use it as an Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) as sometimes users may have to log into the system and check SQL server manually. All the Azure database services are cloud-based and customers can monitor or do analytics on the logs or also can get notified for any new alert remotely anywhere with the pay-as-you-go service of azure.and azure also manages SQL Server on the virtual machines as well as SQL data warehouse in its managed platform on azure as part of database services. Microsoft offers various databases in its azure infrastructure like MySQL, Postgresql, Elastic Pool.Also, database services are cost-effective and need less effort to migrate hence it is customer friendly so that customers can use licensing in the on-premise datacenter. Azure has worldwide data-centers and users can migrate their SQL databases from the various on-premises and machines can be easily migrated to the SQL without much complex configuration and manage the migrated instance.Microsoft Azure SQL is a fully managed platform for database services and it can is a platform as a service (Paas) to monitor and manage the database functions such as taking backup, patch-ups or upgrading automatically so that user intervention is less and customer can manage the data easily on-premise or virtual machines.
