What is SQL Database?
Relational database service in the cloud;
Delivers predictable performance, scalability with no downtime, business continuity and data protection;

10. What is DTU? DTU = Database Throughput Units
Resources assigned to a database
Unified measure of CPU+Memory+Read/write rates
CPU
Writes
Reads
Memory
40%
65%
30%
50%
Utilization

11. What is DTU – DTU Calculator
How to calculate the needed DTU to my SQL Database?
You can predict the service tier 
Too much: Not cost effective.
Too less: You can put your database in trouble (and you!).
DTU Calculator
Online service (
Based on collected performance indicators.
Processor - % Processor Time
Logical Disk - Disk Reads/sec
Logical Disk - Disk Writes/sec
Database - Log Bytes Flushed/sec
Does not take into account:
Uptime SLA
Point in time Restore
Performance Objective

What is an Elastic Pool?
Provide a simple cost effective solution to manage the performance goals for multiple databases that have widely varying and unpredictable usage.
Elastic database pools ensure that databases get the performance resources they need, when they need it, while providing a simple resource allocation mechanism within a predictable budget
Advantage of all of the database as a service capabilities that are built into it;

21. Managing the SQL Database
Azure Portal  
Web-based application where you can create, update, and delete databases and logical servers and monitor database activity
SSMS and Data Tools
Client tools that run on your computer and allow you to connect to, manage, and develop your database in the cloud.
Command line tools
You can use command line tools such as PowerShell to manage databases and elastic database pools, and to automate Azure resource deployments.
