40510: Microsoft Cloud Workshop: SQL Server Hybrid Cloud — Lesson 1: Hybrid Cloud Case Study, Requirements, and Architecture Options

Topics Covered

• Interpret the workshop case study, business drivers, constraints, and technical requirements
• Assess current SQL Server workloads for hybrid-cloud suitability
• Use Microsoft Cloud design principles to compare architecture options
• Course objectives, terminology, environment, roles, and realistic use cases
• Prerequisites, dependencies, assumptions, and expected business outcomes
• Baseline setup, safe working practices, and initial validation evidence

Guided Practice Steps

1. Translate the lesson requirement into a clear 40510: Microsoft Cloud Workshop: SQL Server Hybrid Cloud implementation or analysis objective.
2. Document assumptions, selected tools or features, dependencies, risks, and expected results.
3. Perform the guided task, capture evidence, and compare the result with the acceptance criteria.
4. Record issues, corrective actions, and a reusable operational or development note.

Practical Activity

Analyze a hybrid-cloud case study and identify decision drivers and constraints.

• Define the scenario, inputs, constraints, and expected outcome.
• Complete the activity and preserve screenshots, outputs, logs, code, or decision evidence.
• Review the result, identify gaps, and document corrective or improvement actions.

Validation Checklist

• The stated requirement and expected outcome are clear.
• Configuration, code, data, or design decisions are documented.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, and operational considerations are reviewed.
• Evidence supports the conclusion and the next action is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Hybrid Cloud Case Study, Requirements, and Architecture Options within a realistic 40510: Microsoft Cloud Workshop: SQL Server Hybrid Cloud scenario and support the result with validation evidence.
