• Data migration
• Steps:
• Create an empty SQL database in Azure
• Create a server-level firewall in the Azure portal
• Use the Data Migration Assistant (DMA) to import the database into Azure
• Download at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53595

Requirements
Add a data disk or a disk to store your databases.
A storage account is a collection of storage all under one login.
Premium Storage
• For ''S 11

VMs:
• OS-series
• D5v2-series

IOPS input output operations per second.
A blob is usually one file. Page blob means stored in allocations of 8KB pages.
For performance you disable geo-redundant storage.
If your backups is big page blob is no good because its limited to 1TB

IOPS requests can be r/w, random or sequential.


Throughput is related to IOPS

Throughput is like asking how much actual data is going to the drive.
Throughput is in MB

latency is the delay time.
