SQL Server DBA Skill Set and monitoring both VM and Azure

So our DBA just up and quit on us. For the time being, I have been tasked to get up to speed on SQL Server DBA Skill Set. Most importantly, monitoring our SQL Server Databases that reside both in VM and in Microsoft Azure...And monitoring and trying to pinpoint sometimes when it seems as though our databases and applications are running slow.

Can anyone turn me on to some good resources for Microsoft SQL Server DBA Skill Set and Monitoring SQL Server Database Tools? Websites...YouTube...Anything...

Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for some good, quality replies.

Hi BobbyP-1695,

To learn the SQL Server DBA skill, you can take a look at Microsoft Learn course, for example:
Administering a SQL Database Infrastructure
Administering Relational Databases on Microsoft Azure
And here are some video about DBA tutorial which might help.
For Monitoring SQL Server Database Tools, SQL Server provides a comprehensive set of tools for monitoring. Please refer to this doc for more details. And you also can search for the third-party monitor tools in Google, such us redgate and solarwinds.

Best Regards,
Amelia

So how does that work? Do I pick a 3rd Party..."Find a learning partner"...Are there any reviews on the "learning partner"...And I'm assuming there is a fee?

Just not really clear from the links as to next steps.
