I put together a session covering some of the differences between Azure SQL Database and on-premises SQL Server to Azure SQL Database Managed Instance and presented that this week at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sqlintersection.com\" target=\"_blank\">SQLintersection<\/a>.

I also have several other sessions I wouldn&#8217;t mind presenting to your user group.
