title: Kubernetes SQL Server or Azure SQL Server PaaS
body: <p>I'm attempting to ask this to garner non opinion based answers, as there doesn't appear to be a huge amount of official literature on the subject.</p>
  <p>In what situations would you prefer say an Azure Kubernetes Service hosted SQL Server container over an Azure Sql Server (PaaS) offering?</p>
  <p>In my mind it's when you want your whole world containerised and lean upon the versioning possibilities e.g. to have multiple versions live at the same time.</p>
  <p>However I find it off putting hosting SQL Server even in a container it feels reminiscent of IaaS without the comfort blanket of PaaS.</p>
  <p>Does AKS + SQL Containers offer sufficient ease that you can live the &quot;container dream&quot; or alternatively can Azure SQL PaaS sit nicely within a container offering?</p>
  <p>In an attempt to make this non-opinionated can people supply scenarios or authoritative references?
  Or of course if <em>you</em> are an authoritative reference even better!</p>
