Explanation:
Box 1: Azure Cosmos DB
A rapidly iterating cloud-based solution that integrates multiple software as a service (SaaS) solutions.
For a rapidly iterating, cloud-based SaaS integration solution, Azure Cosmos DB is a strong recommendation. It offers a schemaless, multi-model database that supports flexible data modeling and querying, which is crucial for agile development and integrating diverse SaaS solutions. Its global distribution and automatic scaling capabilities also ensure high availability and performance as your application grows.
Box 2: Azure SQL Managed Instance
The migration of an existing on-premises Microsoft SQL Server 2019 database to Azure.
Project2 must minimize malware threats to the underlying operating system that hosts the migrated database.
Azure SQL Managed Instance minimizes malware threats to the underlying operating system by leveraging a multi-layered security approach, including threat detection, encryption, and network isolation. It achieves this by handling the operating system and underlying infrastructure at the PaaS level, reducing the attack surface accessible to malicious actors.
Box 3: SQL Server on Azure on VM
An app that supports multiple 20-TB databases.
If you need to store more than 16 TB of data, you should consider moving to Azure SQL Database Hyperscale or SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.
