Configuring the Hyperscale tier of Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Database offers three service tiers – General Purpose, Business Critical, and Hyperscale – when purchased in the vCore model. General Purpose is the most commonly used service tier for medium-sized applications, while the Business Critical tier offers enterprise-class performance and enhanced high-availability options. However, both the General Purpose and Business Critical tiers have a maximum database size limit of 4 TB. A Hyperscale database allows the database to scale up to 100 TB, as well as offering enterprise-class performance and high-availability capabilities. One of the aspects of Hyperscale databases is that we don’t need to specify an upper limit for the database size; the database automatically grows as you use it and you pay for the storage you have used.
This recipe will show how to provision the Hyperscale tier of Azure SQL Database.
