There is a maximum number of connections, compute units, and storage in each service tier during the service preview, as follows:
Max connections | |
Basic 50 Compute Units | 50 connections |
Basic 100 Compute Units | 100 connections |
Standard 100 Compute Units | 200 connections |
Standard 200 Compute Units | 300 connections |
Standard 400 Compute Units | 400 connections |
Standard 800 Compute Units | 500 connections |
Max Compute Units | |
Basic service tier | 100 Compute Units |
Standard service tier | 800 Compute Units |
Max storage | |
Basic service tier | 1 TB |
Standard service tier | 1 TB |
