Hello everyone,We're planning to upgrade our existing setup from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014 at Azure. The new server is up and running with SQL 2014.Now, my job is to move all databases and SQL jobs to this new server.Then, test command line database build and convert all existing SSIS Packages.Once I prepare this server, the next task is to prepare 2 QA servers in a similar manner.And finally, the production server.Can anybody please advise what needs to be taken care to complete this job successfully?Also, please advise how to prepare the templates or scripts, which could be reused for other servers down the line.Likewise, please suggest how to get the maximum benefits/advantages of SQL 2014 at Azure?Like, http://blogs.technet.com/b/dataplatforminsider/archive/2014/09/25/using-ssds-in-azure-vms-to-store-sql-server-tempdb-and-buffer-pool-extensions.aspx Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Ankit
