Your company has an array of different SQL Servers including in-house apps, third party apps, a data warehouse, and more. They're a mish-mash of different versions, configurations, and high availability choices. How are you supposed to translate all these different servers into the right cloud requirements?

In this session, Microsoft Certified Master Brent Ozar will lay out simple rules for classifying your different kinds of servers so you can quickly assess which cloud services you need. This session will be vendor-agnostic. Brent doesn't really care whether you choose Amazon, Azure, or Google, and will include options for all of them. Finally, he'll also show you how to tell which of your servers you need to be worried about because they'll require extra attention during their migrations. This session is geared to help technical team members succeed in planning migration projects.

Every organization wants applications to run faster while simultaneously reducing operational costs. While DBAs and Developers seek more resources to avoid performance bottlenecks, CIOs, CTOs, and IT Managers are constantly looking for opportunities to cut costs. Unlike on-premises infrastructure, every resource on the cloud comes with recurring expenses. In this session, you’ll learn how to tune your queries and servers to operate highly efficiently with limited resources when deployed to the cloud. Additionally, IT Managers will gain valuable insights into achieving cost savings without compromising performance.

Topics that will be discussed include:

• Tuning queries for optimal performance in cloud environments
• Configuring servers for efficiency with limited cloud resources
• Strategies for balancing performance needs with cost-saving measures
• Understanding the recurring expenses of cloud resources and how to minimize them
