    Hello Divya K Nair

    No, R-pool and resource pool are not the same in Azure. They have different functionalities and contexts:

    R-pool:

    • Refers to Resource Governor resource pools used in SQL Server (on-premises or Azure SQL Managed Instance) for managing resource allocation within an instance.
    • Defines a subset of physical resources (CPU, memory, IO) available to workloads within the SQL Server instance.
    • Enables prioritizing CPU, memory, and IO resources for different workloads within the same instance.
    • Not applicable to other Azure services or resources.

    Resource pool:

    • A general term for a collection of resources managed together in Azure.
    • Can refer to different things depending on the context:
      • Azure Virtual Desktop host pools: Collections of VMs serving virtual desktops to users.
        • Azure SQL Database elastic pools: Logical groupings of multiple databases sharing a fixed set of resources.
          • Azure Application Service resource groups: Groups of web apps sharing resources like CPU, memory, and storage.
          • Can also exist in other contexts outside of Azure, such as virtual machine environments or resource management frameworks.
          In summary, R-pool is a specific type of resource pool used within SQL Server for resource management, while resource pool is a broader term encompassing various resource groupings across different Azure services and other contexts. I hope this clarifies the difference!

    Hi Divya K Nair Thank you for reaching out. In addition to Technical Hotline9's answer. In Azure, R-pool and resource pool are not the same. Resource pools are used in SQL Server Resource Governor to represent a subset of the physical resources of an instance of the Database Engine. A resource pool, or pool, represents the physical resources of the server. On the other hand, R-pool is not a commonly used term in Azure. Resource Governor Resource Pool Regards, Oury
