DP-900Domain 2: Identify Considerations for Relational Data on AzureRelational Data on AzureeasySingle choice

An open-source app built on PostgreSQL must migrate to Azure with minimal code change. Which Azure service hosts it?

A.Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Managed PostgreSQL = direct answer. Correct.

B.Azure SQL Database

Different engine — dialect incompatibilities.

C.Azure Cosmos DB

Cosmos is NoSQL — not relational PostgreSQL.

D.Azure Synapse Analytics

Synapse is analytics warehousing.

Why this answer

Azure offers managed open-source engines: Database for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB — lift-and-shift compatible. Azure SQL is Microsoft's engine (T-SQL dialect differences); Cosmos is NoSQL.
