Azure SQL Database—preview of read scale-out support in premium service

Published date: April 10, 2018

Following the recent announcement of zone-redundant database support, we're further expanding the power of premium databases and elastic pools by including the read scale-out support.

This is ideal for load-balancing of complex analytical workloads without impacting the primary OLTP workload.
