Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

You are designing a relational data store for a new Azure-hosted web application that experiences highly unpredictable traffic, with brief spikes in demand and long periods of minimal activity. The solution must be a fully managed PaaS offering that can automatically scale compute up or down in response to workload, pause when idle to reduce cost, and support point-in-time restore for at least seven days. Which Azure database service and compute tier should you recommend?

  • Azure SQL Managed Instance in the Business Critical service tier

  • Azure SQL Database with the serverless compute tier in the General Purpose service tier

  • Azure Database for MariaDB in the Basic pricing tier

  • Azure SQL Database in the Hyperscale service tier with provisioned compute
