Course Overview
The Microsoft course DP-3001: Migrate SQL Server Workloads to Azure SQL is designed to equip IT professionals with the skills needed to transition on-premises SQL Server environments to Azure SQL solutions. This training prepares learners for the Microsoft Applied Skills credential in migrating SQL workloads and is ideal for database administrators, data engineers, and solution architects responsible for cloud database strategies. As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid and cloud-first models, 75% of enterprises now run at least one SQL Server workload in Azure, making this expertise highly sought after. The course targets intermediate-level professionals who already have experience with SQL Server and the Azure portal, guiding them through a structured migration lifecycle.
Students engage with key Microsoft technologies including Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Database Migration Service, Azure Migrate, and the Azure SQL Migration Extension for Azure Data Studio. Through hands-on labs in the Azure Portal, learners perform real-world tasks such as assessing database compatibility, provisioning PaaS and IaaS resources, configuring private endpoints, and executing both offline and online migrations using tools like BACPAC files and transactional replication. A core lab scenario involves migrating a full SQL Server database from an on-premises environment to Azure SQL Database while ensuring minimal downtime, resolving compatibility issues, and validating data integrity post-migration.
By completing DP-3001: Migrate SQL Server Workloads to Azure SQL, participants gain the practical skills required for the Microsoft Applied Skills certification, a credential recognized by leading cloud employers for validating real-world migration expertise. Certified professionals report salary increases of up to 22% compared to non-certified peers, with Azure database administrators earning median salaries of $135,000 in the U.S. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and official Microsoft courseware, ensuring consistent access to expert-led training. Graduates are well-positioned to advance into roles such as Cloud Database Administrator, Azure Solutions Architect, or Data Engineer, driving digital transformation through secure, scalable cloud data platforms.
