Elastic Pool
An Azure SQL elastic pool lets many databases share one budget of resources instead of each one paying for its own peak.
Share one budgetDatabases in the pool draw from a shared set of eDTUs (or vCores) instead of each reserving its own.
Right-size for the groupSize the pool for the combined, averaged load — not the sum of every database’s individual peak.
Elastic by designAdd or remove databases anytime; each can still burst up to the pool’s limit when it needs to.
