What is Azure SQL Database Migration?

Azure SQL Database Migration refers to the process of moving your databases from on-premises servers, other cloud providers, or different database systems into Microsoft Azure's SQL Database service. This migration helps organizations take advantage of cloud scalability, security, and managed services offered by Azure. The process can involve assessment, schema conversion, data transfer, and validation to ensure minimal downtime and data integrity. Tools like Azure Database Migration Service (DMS) help automate and streamline these steps for a smoother transition.
