With Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server, migration to Azure SQL is no longer fragmented. Organizations can now streamline discovery, assessment, and migration from Azure Arc experience —whether you're modernizing on-premises, in hybrid environments, or across multicloud estates. In this session, we’ll explore how Azure Arc transforms SQL Server migration into a seamless, secure, and scalable experience. In this session you’ll learn how to: • Automatically discover and assess SQL Server instances using Azure Migrate and Arc agents. • Perform continuous readiness assessments and receive SKU recommendations directly within the Arc experience. • Execute near-zero downtime migrations using Distributed Availability Group and Log shipping technology. • Manage, govern, and secure your SQL estate post-migration using Azure-native tools. This session is ideal for database administrators, cloud architects, and IT leaders looking to modernize their SQL infrastructure with minimal disruption and maximum insight. Join us to see how Microsoft’s latest innovations in Arc and migration tooling can help you confidently move your SQL workloads to Azure.
