The Community Edition of Aireforge Studio is a free tool that focuses on making estate management simple. Learn how to compare configurations, users, settings, jobs and more, between 2 or 2000+ instances of SQL Server and Azure SQL Database. Also learn how to quickly document the configuration of your estate and how this process can be used to store point in time snapshots with reports and tests that can be viewed or compared against later. Finally, the talk will cover how these tasks can be automated for alerting and integrated into build or deployment pipelines.
