Chapter 16

Design and implement hybrid and Azure database infrastructure

This chapter examines options for designing a database infrastructure in which some or all your data is hosted in a public cloud—specifically, the Microsoft Azure cloud. It begins with an overview of cloud and Azure concepts. It then discusses considerations for deploying SQL Server–based infrastructure using infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), or a hybrid approach. The chapter ends with a cursory listing of some non–SQL Server data platform services in Azure, exploring the flexibility the cloud has to offer.
