This document discusses SQL Azure and compares it to SQL Server. It covers topics like the SQL Azure ecosystem, differences between SQL Azure and SQL Server, partitioning strategies in SQL Azure, tools for migrating databases to SQL Azure, and features that are not supported in SQL Azure like backup and restore, replication, and extended stored procedures. Diagrams show how SQL Azure is hosted on Microsoft's infrastructure and the partitioning of databases across servers.
