You are migrating a legacy on-premises SQL Server application to Azure. The application relies heavily on SQL Server Agent jobs, cross-database queries, and CLR (Common Language Runtime) integration. The business requires a fully managed PaaS service to reduce OS maintenance overhead. Which service should you recommend?

Answer options:

Azure SQL Database.

Azure SQL Managed Instance.

SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.

Azure Synapse Analytics.

How to approach this question

Match the legacy SQL features (Agent, CLR) with the appropriate PaaS offering.

Full Answer

B.Azure SQL Managed Instance.✓ Correct

Azure SQL Managed Instance is the PaaS deployment option that provides the broadest SQL Server database engine compatibility, supporting features like SQL Server Agent, Service Broker, and CLR.

Common mistakes

Choosing SQL on VM (IaaS) when the prompt explicitly requests a PaaS solution.
