Service Tier Advisor
Feature Analysis
Resource Management

3. Service Tier Advisor
Service Tier Advisor surfaces insights into the database workload to:
Determine the optimal service tier and performance level for the database
Choosing right service tier / performance level is dependent on:
Feature usage and features available in different Service Tiers
Resource usage and bounding boxes of different Performance Levels
Service Tier Advisor takes into account:
Resource consumption
Database Size
Disaster Recovery plan
Service Tier Advisor doesn’t take into account the following metrics as they are subjective and not measurable:
Uptime SLA
Point in time Restore
Performance Objective

4. Feature Usage Analysis
Decision tree on the right takes into account following features:
Database Size
Disaster Plan
Feature that requires larger service tier is marked as dominant as it sets the minimum service tier that supports all used features of a database.

5. Resource consumption analysis
Resource consumption distribution shows what percentage of active period database was consuming resources within the boundaries of different performance levels
This chart is an example of resource consumption for a single database
