I'm working with Windows Server Core 1709, using SMB file share support for SQL containers. Support for small databases works well (allowing time to copy databases), but now I face the need for provisioning environments that include databases of 100's of GB in size. I've worked in the past with SAN based snapshots, but don't have access to these resources. Is anyone familiar with SQL Server database cloning that could be employed for this use-case?
Windocks has just released database cloning support for Docker SQL Server containers, all versions and editions SQL 2008 forward. Take a look at https://www.windocks.com/docker-sql-server-containers

we're using Redshift and have several web app and database we're planning to Migrate to Azure.
So not able to find the right proper documents or steps to follow. can someone please help me with this.
One of the method you can use which is migrate Amazon Web Services (AWS) virtual machines (VMs) to Azure VMs by using Azure Site Recovery. When you migrate AWS EC2 instances to Azure, the VMs are treated like physical, on-premises computers

Are there any differences between the built-in database in visual studio and an external database like sql server or oracle? Which one is more used and reliable?
See here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jerrynixon/archive/2012/02/26/sql-express-v-localdb-v-sql-compact-edition.aspx
LocalDB is created specifically for developers. It is very easy to
install and requires no management, yet it offers the same T-SQL
language, programming surface and client-side providers as the regular
SQL Server Express. In effect the developers that target SQL Server no
longer have to install and manage a full instance of SQL Server
Express on their laptops and other development machines.

There are a few options for Azure SQL Server
Vanilla Azure SQL Server (SaaS)
Azure SQL Server using VM image (IaaS)
Azure SQL Server Alwayson
I'm trying to understand what option replaces the best an on-premises SQL server accessed by multiple servers, that will become multiple "callers" in Azure.
Well that really depends on what your requirements are. An Azure VM with SQL would be the closet to replacing a physical SQL server and you can setup clusters and failover and all that. You really should read more into them at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/services/sql-database/

I am working on my notebook(4GB ram) with SQL Server 2012 and since I installed with the default settings, It uses too much memory. When I check the processes sqlservr.exe is around 230MB and reportinservicesService.exe around 75 MB, msmdsrv.exe (analysis Services) 35MB etc.
So my question to those sql experts; If I am just doing simple DB new built, what would you suggest me in order to save some memory? I would like to suspend and run some services on demand only. for example, Can I stop reportingservicesservice.exe. I guess it is only when I need report from sql or is it also for tsql?
thanks for your suggestings.
The bare minimum you need to run SQL Server is just sqlservr.exe, i.e. "SQL Server" or "SQL Server (EXPRESS)" in the Services control panel applet. Nothing else is essential.
You don't need any of the below to be running
Freetext (filter) daemon
Reporting services
Analysis services
Integration services
SQL Server Agent
SQL VSS writer
You can go back and enable them when you get to the point where you are working with those features.

I need to move a lot of data from an OLD DB2 server to SQL Server. I'd like to create a linked server using the OLE DB Provider for DB2 on my SQL Server. What I don't know is what is required on the DB2 side. The DB2 server belongs to another organization and most of the people that worked with it have retired. The version is "DB2 for VSE 6.1". Can I connect to that from SQL Server by default? If not, is there optional software that can be installed that will provide connectivity? I believe I need DRDA application server support, but that is all I have been able to find so far. Because of the volume of data, I would prefer not to use intermediate text files if possible. Are there other options that will work with V6.1?
If you can use SSIS, which can be available or not, depending on your SQL Server Edition, I recommend you to use this tool for moving the data. It help you handle of the complexities of data type changes, conversions, validations...
As far as what you need to connect to DB2, have a look at this. It not only explains how to use SSIS to connect to DB2, but also explain where you can download a DB2 driver.
I can't assure this driver will work with you particular version of DB2.
Look also here.
