In this workshop, you will work with a media publishing company to design a hybrid cloud disaster recovery solution. You will design the solution to handle large spikes in load and harden the security to include encryption of Payment Card Industry (PCI) data. Additionally, you will implement an archival strategy to keep databases sizes in check.

At the end of this workshop, you will be better able to design a hybrid disaster recovery solution between an on-premises VMWare environment and Azure. In addition, you will design a SQL Server scale-out solution, protect database backups from local failures, archive cold data from an on-premises SQL Server, and perform end-to-end encryption on sensitive application data.
