I have been asked a few times on how to migrate databases in the cloud. Sometimes I’m confused and have to pause before answering this question. Not because I don’t know how, but it’s more that I’m trying to figure out what is the motivation behind the question. In short: it should not be different than migrating databases on the on-premises servers. In other words, the only difference is that, the servers on the cloud are managed by a third-party provider.
