Morgan Oslake has an announcement:
Optimizing resource allocation to achieve performance goals while controlling costs can be a challenging balance to strike especially for database workloads with complex usage patterns. Azure SQL Database serverless provides a solution to help address these challenges, but until now the general availability of serverless has only been available in the General Purpose tier. However, many workloads that can benefit from serverless may require greater performance and scale along with other capabilities unique to the Hyperscale tier.
We are pleased to announce the general availability of serverless auto-scaling for Hyperscale in Azure SQL Database. The benefits of serverless and Hyperscale now come together into a single database solution.
Read on to see what this means for you and how it can change the billing strategy around Hyperscale.
