LunchBytes is a fortnightly livestream that provides technical demonstrations and conversations with experts from Microsoft UK about the world of Azure!

In this episode of LunchBytes we will be talking about Arc Enabled Data Services - this is for customers with SQL Server instances which are on-premise or multi-cloud and are unable at this time to migrate their databases into Microsoft Azure. Arc Enabled Data Services will allow you to manage the database estate in a single pane of glass within Azure, and receive discounts on services (such as the Extended Security Updates for your end of service SQL Server databases). Stephen Reason is going to talk about what features you get from this (including automatic patching and version management), and he will be going through a short demonstration of how to onboard your SQL Server instances into Azure Arc.
