Of all your options, Azure SQL Database Managed Instance is the simplest
solution for lifting and shifting your legacy SQL Server data to the cloud. As
shown in Table 1, Azure SQL Database Managed Instance is a powerful and
economical cloud destination for companies that want to quickly and easily
migrate their SQL Server databases from on-premises without necessarily
having to change their apps. Azure SQL Database Managed Instance offers
broad SQL Server compatibility and network isolation, making it ideal for an
application re-host scenario. It also provides added savings by maximizing
SQL Server licensing investments—companies can receive discounted rates
by using Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server. Azure SQL Database Managed
Instance is a fully managed solution: Microsoft operates SQL for you with
full PaaS capabilities, including automatic patching and version updates,
automated backups, built-in high availability, and a comprehensive security
portfolio—all of which dramatically reduces management overhead and TCO.
You can also take advantage of your SQL Server license investments and save
up to 55 percent on Azure SQL Database Managed Instance.
