Overview of this book

Whether you are trying to re-architect a legacy app or build a cloud-ready app from scratch, using the Azure ecosystem with .NET and Java technologies helps you to strategize and plan your app modernization process effectively. With this book, you’ll learn how to modernize your applications by using Azure for containerization, DevOps, microservices, and serverless solutions to reduce development time and costs, while also making your applications robust, secure, and scalable. You will delve into improving application efficiency by using container services such as Azure Container Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and more. Next, you will learn to modernize your application by implementing DevOps throughout your application development life cycle. You will then focus on increasing the scalability and performance of your overall application with microservices, before learning how to add extra functionality to your application with Azure serverless solutions. Finally, you’ll get up to speed with monitoring and troubleshooting techniques. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to use the Azure ecosystem to refactor, re-architect, and rebuild your web, mobile, and desktop applications.

Connecting to SQL Server Management Studio

As it says right there in the portal, the query editor is pretty limited and we should use SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) instead. We aren't going to do that, though; instead, we're going to use SSMS. So, download SSMS if you haven't done so already (this can be found in the Technical requirements section at the beginning of this chapter) and fire it up. In the Connect to Server dialog, enter your server name, which you can find in your SQL Server's (not your SQL database's) properties and should be [name you choose].database.windows.net, and the login and password that you used when you created your server.

Now, you should see a popup that asks you to sign in to Azure – do that now. Then, another popup will ask you whether you want to allow your IP address or your subnet range to connect to...
