To host SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages in Azure and target Azure SQL Database, what should be included in the recommendation?

SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA)
Azure Data Factory
Data Migration Assistant
Azure Data Catalog

The correct answer is: Data Migration Assistant

To host SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages in Azure and target Azure SQL Database, Azure Data Factory is the most appropriate choice. Azure Data Factory supports the execution and management of SSIS packages in the cloud, providing a serverless and scalable environment that can integrate with various data sources, including Azure SQL Database. Azure Data Factory offers features such as integration runtime, which allows you to run the SSIS packages along with monitoring tools to track execution status. This integration simplifies the process of migrating and orchestrating data workflows in Azure, making it an ideal solution for modern cloud-based data integration scenarios. While SQL Server Migration Assistant and Data Migration Assistant are useful tools for migrating databases to Azure, they primarily assist with database assessment and migration rather than the hosting and management of SSIS packages. Azure Data Catalog provides a way to manage metadata and data assets but does not facilitate the execution of SSIS packages. Therefore, relying on Azure Data Factory ensures a more effective approach for SSIS integration in an Azure environment.
