A company has a SaaS solution that uses Azure SQL Database with elastic pools. The solution contains a dedicated database for each customer organization. Customer organizations have peak usage at different periods during the year.
You need to implement the Azure SQL Database elastic pool to minimize cost.
Which option or options should you configure?
A . Number of transactions only
B . eDTUs per database only
C . Number of databases only
D . CPU usage only
E . eDTUs and max data size
Answer: E
Explanation:
The best size for a pool depends on the aggregate resources needed for all databases in the pool.
This involves determining the following:
– Maximum resources utilized by all databases in the pool (either maximum DTUs or maximum vCores
depending on your choice of resourcing model).
– Maximum storage bytes utilized by all databases in the pool.
Note: Elastic pools enable the developer to purchase resources for a pool shared by multiple databases to accommodate unpredictable periods of usage by individual databases. You can configure resources for the pool based either on the DTU-based purchasing model or the vCore-based purchasing model.
