Summary
In this chapter, we learned a simple and cost-effective way of managing multiple SQL databases using an elastic database pool and also learned a convenient way of consolidating low-compute managed instances inside an instance pool. We discussed when and how to use an elastic database pool and an instance pool to be cost-effective without affecting database performance. We also learned how to use elastic database jobs to manage and maintain the databases in an elastic database pool.
In the next chapter, we will be discussing high availability and business continuity solutions for SQL Database and SQL Managed Instance. You will learn how to implement standard geo-replication, active geo-recovery, and failover groups for disaster recovery solutions.
