Azure CLI, or Python.

 Perform database assessments, schema conversions, and data migrations using

tools such as Data Migration Assistant (DMA), SQL Server Migration Assistant

(SSMA), and Azure Database Migration Service.

 Implement performance tuning, security hardening, backup, and disaster

recovery strategies for Azure SQL and Azure VMs.

 Design and deploy Azure networking components (VNets, NSGs, Application

Gateways, VPN/ExpressRoute) to support workload migrations.

 Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve issues during migration, including network

bottlenecks, schema conflicts, and application compatibility.

 Integrate monitoring and alerting using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and

Application Insights.

 Collaborate with DevOps teams to build CI/CD pipelines for post-migration

deployments and operational automation.

configuration management tools.

 Strong scripting/automation skills with PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Python.

 Experience with database migration tools such as DMA, SSMA, Azure Database

Migration Service, and replication strategies.

 In-depth knowledge of database performance tuning, indexing, partitioning, and

high availability (Always On, failover clustering, geo-replication).

Active Directory/Azure AD integration.

 Experience with DevOps practices (CI/CD, Git, pipelines) and containerization

(Docker, AKS) a plus.
