Manage Databases With Azure SQL Elastic Pools

Learn how Azure SQL Elastic Pools can be used to manage Azure SQL Databases. Elastic Pools can help optimize costs and improve scalability for databases with unpredictable workload patterns.

Best and easiest way to explain the Elastic Pool.

whats the latency of moving databases out of latency pool or increasing service tier of it. How to deal with noisy neighbour problem and how to mitigate the risk of kicking out the noisy neighbour from the pool without disruption or latency ?

[@DataBar]

Increasing a service tier can vary depending on if the current underlying VM has the resources to allocate to your instance, or if it needs to be moved to a different instance. However the downtime is minimal as some of this work involved with potentially moving to a new VM happens in the background while your current instance continues to run, and then we will do, in essence a DNS change, at the end. Moving databases into a new elastic pool is a relatively seamless experience. Within elastic pools, your can limit the amount a vCores that a database can consume from that pool helping to put guardrails around noisy neighbors.

@@DataBar my main concern is kicking out the noisy neighbour from the elastic pool to a dedicated azure SQL instance

[@DataBar]

Understood. That’s why it’s important to set up good monitoring and alerting procedures so you can identify things like that and take appropriate action!
