How much do you know about the database options in Azure? Azure has many database options. My last post focused on Azure database for MariaDB. Here, I’ll discuss Azure SQL Database and break it down into the purpose, the platform and the pennies (how you pay for it).
To review, the 3 main points to remember are: the purpose of Azure SQL Database is to do your SQL database workloads in the cloud; it’s a PaaS platform; and the charge options are DTUs or V-core and with either you are paying for the database as long as it is available, whether you are actively using it or not.
I recently did a webinar with much more detail comparing some of the database options you have, you can check that out here. If you’re looking to learn more about databases in Azure or about Azure in general, our team of experts can work with you to answer your questions, provide a roadmap or with any implementation.
