Question

Im trying to come with sql database which is run on any os windows / linux which is able to communicate with a case management software,the number of users are less than 10. Which is the cheapest plan can i use.

Answer 1

Hi

what are the SQL requirements from the vendor?

You could use the Azure Pricing Calculator to get an estimate of what you need. This will also provide estimates of licensing costs for both OS and SQL (assuming you are not using Hybrid Benefit). You can also see cost savings you will gain from using Reserved Instances.

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/

Alternatively, if you are already running this system on on-premises infrastructure, you could do an Azure Migrate assessment which will ananlyse the workloads and provide estimates of what compute you require.

Hope this helps,

Thanks

Answer 2

Hi @admir

As Michael stated, it depends on the application vendor if you want to have support for that application.
What are the requirements?
Does that application just need a simple database, or do they need particular features/functionality?

The cheapest Azure SQL database might be an "Azure SQL Database" with DTUs in the Basic-level

But don't expect too much, even as there is a limit on storage.

As an example, you can find more about restrictions on Azure SQL Databases with the DTU purchase tier here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/service-tiers-dtu?view=azuresql

We will be able to answer your question better if you tell us a little more about the requirements of that application...

I hope my answer is helpful to you,
