Azure SQL Database provides several deployment options including single databases and elastic pools. The single database option provides resource guarantees at the database level while elastic pools allow for sharing of resources across multiple databases for better cost efficiency. Azure SQL Database offers different service tiers including Basic, Standard, and Premium that provide different performance levels and features. Customers can choose between DTU-based and vCore-based purchasing models, with vCores offering more flexibility and control over compute and storage. The Data Migration Assistant and Data Migration Service can help customers assess, plan, and execute migrations of databases to Azure SQL Database.
