From Your Couch to the Cloud: When and Why to Choose the Azure Portal

In this session you'll learn how to get the most out of the Azure Portal and how to maximize its unique capabilities for Azure SQL administration.

The Azure Portal is the initial gateway for users to get started with their Azure solution. But once you have a subscription and you’ve created some resources, is the portal relevant?
ABSOLUTELY.
Whether you’re an experienced Azure administrator or new to Azure SQL Database, there are tasks for which the portal is best suited. However, there are also times the portal will not provide the best experience. Join us to learn how to get the most out of the portal and know when to switch to another tool in your toolbox!
