Why?

Microsoft Azure is not "better" than any other "Cloud" Infrastructure/Platform Provider. They have implemented a IaaS/PaaS in response to Amazon Web Services. We are only using it because one of our clients (NHS) requires us to. We would prefer to use AWS, Digital Ocean or Google Could Platform over Azure every time.

We understand from a corporate policy/decision-making perspective that Azure is an easy decision for certain companies/executives to make given their existing investment/commitment to Microsoft ... So we want to document our setup so that it can be followed by anyone else in the same situation.

What?

Step-by-Step guide to deploying your first app on Microsoft Azure.

Who?

Developers who need to deploy to Azure because their client/employer requires them to. Everyone else knows there are better (more mature, feature rich/innovative, faster, cheaper) alternatives.

How?

Obviously,Statement 'RESTORE DATABASE' is not supported in this version of SQL Server ...
