An overview of Azure Integration Services

The Discussion

• 

  OK. Nice name for this service, but it raises the obvious question: What does this have to do with SQL Server Integration Services, if anything at all? Has Microsoft defined a migration path from SSIS to AIS? If so, what would that be? If not, then what does that imply for the future of SSIS?
  
  Yes, I'm aware of and familiar with the AZURE SSIS Integration Runtime, but very unclear about any overlap between it and the AIS vision. You caught me. I haven't yet read the whitepaper. I'll do that.
  
  BUT - Please clarify the roadmap for all of us on this side of the screen. Thanks.

  Good question Stan. No, this has nothing to do with SSIS. It is purely a partial collision on names.
