Azure SQL Database Continued
- Lets create a Azure sql database with sample data
- Elastic pool lets multiple databases share the same resources reducing costs.

-
Lets create an azure sql db and post creation open the server firewall

-
Once this is created lets add one more database to the elastic pool

- Note: Limits for Azure SQL Databases Refer Here
- Elastic Pool supports the following

- As discussed in the class where we were trying to resize the database sizes and still were able to use th database. This is referred as dynamic scaling.
Redundancy
-
Azure Databases support 3 redundancy options
- Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)
- Store redundant copies of data with in same region across different racks
- Zone Redundant storage (ZRS)
- Store redundant copies of data with in same region across different zones
- Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)
- Store redundant copies of data with in same region across different zones/racks and additional copies into other region.
- Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)
-
Next Steps:
- Replication
- Failovers.
