In this article we will discuss about the Relational Databases that our Azure Cloud provides. Azure provides four Relational Database Services as,

The same software which we install in Windows or a Linux operating system, which is installed in a Azure Virtual Machine. Since its managed by us, it has more compatibility even when there is an update on Operating System, or the Software Upgrades, Deployments and all others that are managed by us. We can have unlimited database instances since we are playing for the licenses.

It is a fully managed service, so that means, we are not managing the Operating System. We can manage the storage, which means, we can upgrade more space if required at anytime. This service is mainly used by someone who wish to keep the data in the Azure Cloud and no need to worry about the Hardware and Software bits.

We can easily migrate our data from a SQL Server to an Azure SQL Database without any changes. Its not 100% compactable to SQL Server on Premise. It provides option for Provisioned and Serverless databases, which means pay as we use or pay only when that database is in use. It also have option to Pay for Performance and for Hardware.
