I'd like to publish a website and started using azure, but now I have a question regarding SQL databases.
My plan is to purchase an Elastic Pool, Gen5, Business Critical, which seems to need a minimum of 4 vCores.
To decrease costs, I'm also planning to purchase SQL reserved vCores for this pool, but I still have two questions about this, which I couldn't find an answer for in the docs.
-Is is possible to buy a 4 vCore business critical reservation? I read that you need to reserve at least 8 cores, but that info wasn't specific to SQL, so I suppose that's only for VMs?
-What about scaling and resevations? What if we need to scale up to 6 or 8 cores, or even scale down to (f.ex.) Generic Tier with 8 vCores?
Thanks for your feedback, very appreciated! (As Azure sales are never reachable via chat - at least it's always disabled for me...)
