Take Control of your Azure SQL Managed Instance Migration using the Log Replay Service

Join me in this session to explore the Log Replay Service. Learn how to use it to take control and customise your own migration projects to solve some of the challenges of migrating large databases to Azure SQL managed instance.
This session covers the Log Replay Service (LRS), a new free of charge Azure service for migrating databases to SQL managed instance. Learn when you would use it over existing migration methods, like the Data Migration Service (DMS), to solve some migration challenges. And I'll show how I used it in a recent customer project to customise the migration of multi-terabyte databases to SQL managed instance using a combination of full, differential and log backups within a strict downtime window.
