Resolve Query Performance Issues

In this hands-on lab scenario, your organization, Awesome Company, is reducing its on-site footprint and moving as many databases as possible to the cloud. As part of this effort, you have already migrated one of your primary sales databases, `acweb`, to Azure SQL Database. Now that developers are actively working against this database, they have been reporting that some queries are performing slowly. It is up to you as the database administrator to resolve these query performance issues. Performing the actions of this lab will help you become familiar with identifying poorly performing queries and troubleshooting them.
