SQL Server on Azure VMs seems like it would require more management, which goes against the goal of minimizing operational requirements.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like Azure Synapse Analytics might be overkill for just moving databases.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember that Azure SQL Managed Instance could also be a good choice for compatibility with on-prem SQL Server.

I'm leaning towards Azure SQL Database. It offers dynamic data masking, which is a key requirement, and the serverless model could help minimize costs.

Azure SQL Managed Instance seems like the obvious choice here. It provides the security and patching benefits we need, and should be cost-effective compared to running VMs.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between the Azure SQL options. I'll need to review the key features of each one to determine the best fit.

Hold up, did someone say 'minimize costs'? Looks like Azure Synapse Analytics is the way to go! It's probably the most cost-effective option, right?
