I am going to use Azure SQL (V12) for my production environment.
I want similar kind of setup in my Local Laptop without connecting cloud environment.
What is best version available freely with Azure SQL which ensure me that there will not be any compatibility issue in schema replication and data migration?
Or any other way to handle this for local setup.

I have Azure Logic Apps running in a Docker container, is it possible to use a local SQL Server as the storage for AzureWebJobsStorage instead of Azure Storage?
I know I can do it for development environment using AzureStorage Simulator, is there any alternative for production environments?

Simulator, is there any alternative for production environments?
No, you cannot do this in a production environment. In the development environment, you are actually simulating Azure Storage based on sql server. This is not possible in a production environment.
Have a look of this doc:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-emulator?toc=/azure/storage/blobs/toc.json#differences-between-the-storage-emulator-and-azure-storage
(They are also different in some characteristics.)
I'm planning to migrate our on-prem Azure Devops Server to Amazon AWS and would like to use SQL Server via AWS RDS as it's underlying database. I know that SQL Server running in AWS RDS has some limitations compared to a "normal" SQL Server running on a Windows Server VM. So I would like to know whether that difference would affect my Azure Devops Server installation in AWS in any way.
So, does Azure DevOps Server support running on an AWS RDS MS SQL Server database?
I looked everywhere for an answer, but did not manage to find an exact one.
bacpac method
You can achieve this by using the native backup and restore method, we can either use .bak (native backups) or .bacpac (backup package).
IN Azure Data Factory, is it possible to use one Integration Run time to connect two different On-Premise data sources?
Scenario:
I have created one self hosted Integration Runtime installed in Virtual Machine for DB2 Database which is On-Premise DB.
I wanted to add one more On-Premises DB which is SQL Server.
Is it possible to use the existing Self Hosted Integration Runtime for SQL Server On Prem DB?
I have tried connecting to existing Self Hosted Integration Runtime in Linked Service. The test connection is getting failed.
I know, some where access privileges required for SQL Server DB either from VM or from the SQL Server to make the connectivity possible via existing Integration Runtime.
Connectivity to SQL Server DB is getting failed, while I use the existing IR, which is already used for DB2.
Yes, you can.
You can find this in this document Considerations for using a self-hosted IR:
A single self-hosted integration runtime can be used for multiple on-premises data sources. A single self-hosted integration runtime can be shared with another data factory within the same Azure Active Directory tenant. For more information, see Sharing a self-hosted integration runtime.
When you want add a another on premise DB, you can try like this:
New link service:
Add another on premise DB:
Hope this helps.
Yes you can reuse self-hosted IR.
Probably issue with connectivity lies somewhere else.
You can test this by logging into that VM via RDP and running tests either with SSMS to test connectivity or run simple PowerShell command to test network
Test-NetConnection "<server_address>" -port 1433
Yes, you can. Note that adding more nodes as part of self-hosted IR (integration runtime) is part of highly available and making sure that there is no SPOF (single point of failure) with one on-premise data gateway.
This is no relation with the number of on-premise data sources which can be connected from services launched in Azure.
hope you are doing great!
Right now, we are developing a web app with .NET CORE in dev environment, does mean that our config file is pointing to Azure CosmosDB, and we use Gremlin to manage Graph stuff.
But what we need also, is to make a local environment but we dont know how to have the CosmosDB in our local PC's.
Does anyone know a tool or something to get CosmosDB, with Graph supports and Gremlin working locally?
Thanks.
The Cosmos DB Emulator can be installed locally for local development purposes, however, the emulator does not support the Gremlin API for Graph storage.
While you cannot use Cosmos DB locally, you could install another database that supports the Gremlin API locally for your local Dev environments; such as the Apache Tinkerpop Gremlin Server. If you do this, then you'll want to extra make sure you fully test your code against Cosmos DB Graph API, before deploying to ensure that there aren't any compatibility issues when releasing to Testing, Staging, and eventually Production environments.
There is currently no emulator that will allow you to work with the Gremlin API locally. You're going to have to provision a development instance within Azure, or perhaps one per developer on your team.
The Azure Cosmos DB Emulator now supports graph databases. The management UI doesn't support Gremlin but only SQL but you can use it in your program via Gremlin.
It's described in https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/cosmos-db/local-emulator?tabs=cli,ssl-netstd21#gremlin-api
I have a webrole I'd like to host in IIS for the time being.
Does anyone know how involved this is, considering that I still want Azure Storage functions of the IIS site to still work?
Azure Storage (tables, blobs, queues) only run on the actual Windows Azure environment in the cloud. There is a simulated development environment that runs a facsimile on a local SQL Server database, but that is only meant for development purposes and cannot be used for running an actual site.
Theoretically, you could run your webapp locally and connect to Azure Storage over the internet (e.g. by using the REST api), but latency would almost certainly be too high for any interactive site.
So, if you want to be able to run your site on premise on your own IIS environment, you will need to remove all the specific Azure platform dependencies and build in non-Azure alternatives. For Azure Storage, you could either do a relational database (SQL Server, mySQL) or look at a nosql/document database.
If you want to move it to IIS then tijmedvdk's answer is correct.
If your goal is to run it in your data center then you should consider Azure Appliance http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/appliance/ this allows you to run Azure applications on premise, without making any changes.
This answers seems misleading. Windows Azure is a platform that provides several services and you can choose from the services that you want to use.
In essence a Windows Azure is just a Virtual Machine with
*Windows Server 2008 R2
*IIS 7.5
So can if you have an application that you are currently hosting in Azure and you want to host it in IIS I don't see much of a problem there.
If you are using Storage, the only problem might be that the Storage account settings were in the WebRole or Service configuration files, but you can change your app logic to take the appropiate settings from other config files.
I have created Windows Desktop applications that for several reasons use Azure Storage and i also think of that as a great advantage of cloud computing.
