Hi folks,
This is a new account, I'm an old time user now at a different employer, and I've switched from regular IT to database specialist.
I'm trying to get my employer to get us a server for hosting SQL Server, this is most likely to be on Azure, as we already have it.
Initially I thougth we would just build a VM and buy licences for Windows Server and SQL server. But now I know there are better suited ways of doing it with probably less cost.
If I'm using a managed instance, what is the best way to set up some storage on Azure, which needs to mapped to a network drive to me and 4 other people's PCs? This drive will need to be set up with Active Directory so only those who work in the marketing dept can access it, and some folders will be read-only.
This shared network drive will have several folders with In, Out, Rejected, Processed,...
