Summary
In this chapter, we explored the different services to deploy SQL Server in Azure. We started by deploying a single SQL database. We have multiple options, such as the serverless database option, that permit us to create a low-cost database. Serverless is a compute tier for single databases in Azure SQL Database that automatically scales compute based on workload demand and bills for the amount of compute used per second. After we deployed the Azure SQL Database elastic pool, which includes the serverless option, we deployed a SQL Managed Instance and, in the end, we connected an Azure SQL database to an existing ASP.NET application.
In the next chapter, we will talk about the different storage options that are available in the Azure Storage services, and the scenarios in which each storage option is appropriate.
