A migration checklist says “enable TDE” as if the water-quality Azure SQL Database were unprotected. What should you verify first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
For Azure SQL Database, TDE is usually already humming when you walk in—check the light before you “invent” a brand-new encryption product on the checklist.
Full Explanation
Transparent Data Encryption is on by default for Azure SQL Database (and is typically enabled for Managed Instance deployments as well). Migration checklists should verify TDE status, especially for restored or imported databases that may arrive with TDE off, rather than assuming a net-new encryption invention is required. Soft delete on storage is unrelated to SQL TDE.
