Predictable performance
Isolated databases are allocated isolated resources
Basic, Standard, and Premium tiers provide increasing performance levels
Scale up/down in response to actual or predicted change in workload
Databases remain online while scaling
Hourly billing at highest rate that hour

8. Elastic database pools
Share resources dynamically among databases on the same server
Customer-managed over-provisioning makes pools cost-effective for unpredictable, sporadic workloads
Well-matched to many database-per-tenant SaaS workloads
Basic, Standard, and Premium tiers
Databases can burst to the same level as isolated DBs in the same tier
Pool size is scaled to support aggregate workload
Hourly billing for the pool based on pool size and DB count
Max per-database burst level
