Migrating SQL Server from On-Premise to Infrastructure as a Service on Cloud

Author(s) Suhas Hanumanthaiah
Country United States
Abstract The migration of Microsoft SQL Server databases from on-premise environments to cloud-based Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform has become a strategic imperative for modern enterprises seeking agility, scalability, and cost-efficiency. This transformation leverages cloud computing’s pay-as-you-go model, enabling faster deployment, global reach, and enhanced resource optimization. This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of migration strategies, automation frameworks, and DevOps integration practices to support large-scale SQL Server transitions to leading cloud IaaS providers such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The analysis includes a comparison of native migration tools (e.g., Azure Database Migration Service, AWS DMS, GCP DMS), infrastructure-as-code solutions (Terraform, PowerShell), and database DevOps tools (Liquibase, dbForge, Redgate) to automate, streamline, and secure the migration lifecycle. Furthermore, the study examines the integration of SQL Server database changes into CI/CD pipelines, significantly reducing manual intervention and enabling consistent deployments across environments. Emphasis is placed on performance benchmarking, licensing models, cost optimization, and high availability architectures. Security concerns, including encryption, access control, and compliance requirements, are also thoroughly addressed. This research aims to equip IT leaders, database administrators, and enterprise architects with practical insights and frameworks to execute seamless, resilient, and cost-effective SQL Server migrations while maintaining operational excellence and business continuity.
