Azure SQL Elastic Pool

A shared pool of compute and storage resources for multiple Azure SQL databases with variable, unpredictable usage.

Definition

Elastic pools are cost-effective for SaaS apps with many databases that peak at different times, because databases draw from shared eDTUs or vCores rather than each being provisioned for its own peak.

Exam tip

Many databases with low average and sporadic peak usage points to an elastic pool.
