Service tiers explanation inconsistencies #51745

Closed githubvick closed 4 years ago

githubvick commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I see that in this link https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/azure-sql-database-introduces-new-basic-standard-and-premium-previews/ which was updated Feb 12 2020, the service tiers mentioned are Basic, Standard and premium whereas in this page, the service tiers discussed are Business critical, Hyperscale and General purpose. It would be easier if there is consitency in the terminologies used.

Also in the above mentioned link, there are redirecting links "Choosing an Azure SQL Database Service Tier" which are no longer updated and maintained. Can those links be updated to point to the latest documentation?

Thank you.

@githubvick The document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-service-tiers-general-purpose-business-critical mentions these are service tier for v core model of purchasing. image

The Basic, Standard and Premium service tier are for DTU model of purchasing resources. More details here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-service-tiers-dtu Hope this helps.
