    Azure SQL Managed Instance offers two primary service tiers, General Purpose and Business Critical, each designed to cater to different workload requirements. These tiers define the storage architecture, performance, and high availability features.

    General Purpose Tier

    This tier is optimized for most business applications with typical performance and I/O latency requirements. It uses remote storage for data and log files, ensuring cost efficiency and scalability. Key features include:

    • Storage: Supports up to 32 TB in the Next-gen General Purpose tier (preview).

    • Performance: Offers predictable performance with IOPS and throughput scaling based on file size.

    • High Availability: Achieved through local redundancy, ensuring minimal downtime during maintenance or failures.

    • Flexible Memory (Preview): Allows customization of memory allocation without changing vCores, available in the Next-gen General Purpose tier.

    Business Critical Tier
