Azure SQL Database Hyperscale is a scalable option for large workloads with flexible storage management. However, it is not specifically designed to ensure availability in case of zone outages and does not offer data-loss-free failover. Azure SQL Database Basic is the most cost-effective option but lacks advanced features such as automatic failover and high availability. Azure SQL Database Serverless is a cost-effective option for light and intermittent workloads but may not be suitable for an application requiring high availability without interruptions. Azure SQL Database Premium is the recommended option as it offers advanced features like active geo-replication and automatic, data-loss-free failover. It also supports high availability in case of zone outages, ensuring the database remains accessible even if a specific zone experiences an interruption

This Question is same as Question # 52 on page 31 and answer is different. Why? Shouldn't it be Serverless?
