Fly at Mach-speed with Azure SQL Managed Instance
summary
Azure SQL Managed Instance upgrades its storage from premium page blobs to premium managed disks, cuts average latency to about 3–4 ms, and exposes an IOPS slider with a cap computed as vCores × 1.6k (bounded at 880,000). Compute now scales to 128 vCores and storage to 32 TB with up to 500 databases per instance; demos show TPC-H runs roughly 3× faster and spikes to ~250k TPS versus ~6k on legacy GP. Upgrade is online; extra IOPS are billable.
