Azure SQL Hyperscale

An Azure SQL Database service tier with a distributed storage architecture that supports databases up to 128 TB, fast scaling and near-instant backups.

Definition

Hyperscale separates compute from page servers and log service, enabling rapid scale-up, up to four high-availability replicas, named replicas for read scale-out, and snapshot-based backups and restores that do not depend on size.

Exam tip

For very large Azure SQL databases (beyond 4 TB) needing fast restore and scale, choose Hyperscale.
