Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

An online retail SaaS uses a single Azure SQL Database (General Purpose, 4 vCores, provisioned). CPU averages 10 percent but surges to 100 percent for six hours at each month-end. Leadership wants to lower overall database costs yet ensure adequate performance during spikes, without manual scaling or code changes. Which Azure SQL purchasing model and compute tier best meet these requirements?

  • Place the database in a Standard DTU-based elastic pool sized at 50 eDTUs.

  • Switch to the vCore-based purchasing model with the General Purpose serverless compute tier.

  • Migrate to Azure SQL Managed Instance in the Business Critical tier with provisioned compute.

  • Move to the vCore-based Hyperscale service tier with provisioned compute.
