Show Notes

Let's say you have completed a lift and shift VM hosting to the cloud. Great—you now use Iaas services. While you don't have to worry about the hardware, managing the software can be problematic. The SQL Server IaaS Agent Extension can offer some PaaS-like services and make it easier to manage the database environment. In this episode we chat with Ameena Lalani from Microsoft about this feature, why you might want to enable it, the prerequisites, and the downsides. She also shares her daily guilty pleasure and Kevin lets it be known he doesn't put toppings on his ice cream anymore.
