When preparing an on-premises SQL Server deployment, it may be the role of the DBA or IT department to prepare and configure the required hardware and software. When using SQL Azure, these tasks are performed by the SQL Azure provisioning process. You can begin provisioning your SQL Azure databases after you create a Windows Azure Platform account. This account allows you to access all the services, such as Windows Azure, Windows Azure platform Service Bus and Access Control and SQL Azure, and is used to set up and manage your subscriptions. Each SQL Azure subscription is bound to one SQL Azure server at the Microsoft data center. Your SQL Azure server is an abstraction that defines a grouping of databases. To enable load-balancing and high availability, databases associated with your SQL Azure server may reside on separate physical computers at the Microsoft data center. For more information about provisioning, see SQL Azure Provisioning Model.
