You manage on-premises and Microsoft Azure SQL Database instances for a company. Your environment
must support the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 ODBS driver.
You need to encrypt only specific columns in the database.
What should you implement?

You plan to deploy 20 Microsoft Azure SQL Database instances to an elastic pool in Azure to support a batch
processing application.
Two of the databases in the pool reach their peak workload threshold at the same time every day. This leads to
inconsistent performance for batch completion.
You need to ensure that all batches perform consistently.
What should you do?

You manage a Microsoft SQL Server environment in a Microsoft Azure virtual machine.
You must enable Always Encrypted for columns in a database.
You need to configure the key store provider.
What should you do?
