Hyperscale Azure SQL Databases
Okay it is not really called Giant Azure SQL Database but its close. There is a new public preview vCore service tier called Hyperscale. The architecture behind this is very different to that of a Standard tier SQL database (as an example). What drives this concept? Flexible storage architecture where you can scale out the storage as your database grows (up to the 100TB mark).
