Migrating tables API to Cosmos DB

- [Instructor] Should you wish to take a look…at Cosmos DB as an alternative to Azure storage tables,…do take a look at our course on Cosmos DB in our library,…and also make sure you study the migration options.…For those of us with data already in Azure storage,…specifically Azure storage tables,…there are two different ways to migrate.…One is to use the data migration tool, called dt.exe.…And you can use it to migrate data…from an Azure storage table implementation…into a Cosmos DB table API.…

And of course there is also the trustworthy AzCopy,…which you can use to export from your Azure storage account,…and then import into your Cosmos DB instance.…Remember to take a look at the documentation.…Improvements are ongoing, and so here in the documentation…we can see we have the data migration tool…as well as the AzCopy option.…And then once you've done your migration,…then of course you have the option to enable…the Cosmos DB capabilities like distribution globally,…take advantage of the indexes, and so forth.…
