<p>In my <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/aspnet/migrating-your-existing-on-prem-sql-server-database-to-azure-sql-db/">previous blog post</a> I talked about how to migrate data from existing on-prem SQL Server instances to Azure SQL Database. If you haven’t heard <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-2008">SQL Server 2008 end of support is coming this summer</a>, so it’s a good time to evaluate moving to an Azure SQL Database.</p>
<p>If you decide to try Azure, chances are you will not be able to immediately move 100% of your on-prem databases and relevant applications in one go. You’ll probably come up with a migration plan that spans weeks, months or even years. During the migration phase you will be spinning up new instances of Azure SQL Database and turning off on-prem SQL Server instances, but for a little bit of time there will be overlap.</p>
<p>To help manage the cost during such transitions we offer the <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/hybrid-benefit/">Azure Hybrid Benefit</a>. You can convert 1 core of SQL Enterprise edition to get up to 4 vCores of Azure SQL Database at a reduced rate. For example, if you have 4 core licenses of SQL Enterprise edition, you can receive up to 16 vCores of Azure SQL Database.</p>
<p>If you want to learn more check out the <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/hybrid-benefit/faq/">Azure Hybrid Benefit FAQ</a> and don’t forget, if you have any questions around migrating your .NET applications to Azure you can always <a href="https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/cloud/migrate-to-azure">ask for free assistance</a>.
