Description

A new customizable memory option helps you optimize costs in Azure SQL Managed Instance. Now you can independently configure RAM from the vCores, helping you to save on compute and licensing costs. Previously, increasing memory meant adding more vCores—a step that often leads to higher costs because of the need for additional licenses. With this new capability, you can now adjust the memory/vCore ratio to better suit your workload requirements, optimizing your Azure SQL Managed Instance configuration. This feature is available exclusively in the Next-gen General Purpose tier for premium-series hardware.
