This book, subtitled "High-performance Scalable Solutions for Critical Data Workloads" shows how to deploy, configure, and monitor an Azure SQL Hyperscale database in a production environment. Zoran Barać and Daniel Scott-Raynsford begin by showing Hyperscale helps eliminate many of the problems of traditional high-availability and disaster recovery architecture. They then go on to look at how Hyperscale overcomes storage capacity limitations and issues with scale-up times and costs. The book also covers migrating current workloads from traditional architecture to Azure SQL Hyperscale.
