Course Overview

The 40510: Microsoft Cloud Workshop: SQL Server Hybrid Cloud by Microsoft is designed for cloud architects, database administrators, and IT professionals responsible for hybrid cloud strategies involving SQL Server and Azure. This course focuses on designing and implementing hybrid cloud solutions that integrate on-premises SQL Server environments with Microsoft Azure services, particularly for disaster recovery, data archiving, and security hardening. Participants engage in a real-world scenario involving a media publishing company, addressing challenges such as handling load spikes and securing Payment Card Industry (PCI) data through end-to-end encryption. With 70% of enterprises adopting hybrid cloud models according to Microsoft’s 2021 adoption study, this workshop equips professionals with in-demand skills for modern data infrastructure.

Students gain hands-on experience with key Microsoft technologies including Azure Site Recovery, SQL Server Stretch Database, Azure Blob Storage, and SQL Server Availability Groups within the Azure Portal lab environment. The course features a two-part structure: a whiteboard design session where learners review a customer case study and present a proof-of-concept solution, followed by a practical lab where they implement a SQL backup solution, configure disaster recovery for both database and web tiers, and archive cold data using Stretch Database. These exercises simulate real-world tasks such as failing over to a disaster recovery site and protecting backups from local failures, providing tangible experience in managing hybrid SQL Server workloads.

While the 40510 course itself is retired as of September 30, 2021, the skills it imparted align with the Microsoft Certified: Azure Database Administrator Associate certification, which validates expertise in managing cloud and hybrid relational databases. Certified professionals in this domain report median salaries exceeding $120,000, reflecting strong market demand. Koenig Solutions supports learners with official Microsoft courseware and Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, ensuring access to structured hybrid cloud training. Completing this workshop prepares IT professionals to design scalable, secure, and resilient database architectures, positioning them for advanced roles in cloud database administration and hybrid infrastructure management.
