The most important aspect of Azure SQL Managed Instance for me is its serverless compute, as it has cost efficiency and massive scalability, along with elastic pools and a Hyperscale tier.
Azure SQL Managed Instance reduces the need for skilled personnel with its serverless compute, offering cost efficiency and scalability via elastic pools and Hyperscale tier. The return on investment is high with robust security and manageable governance features. Customer support is average, while AI and performance enhancements are desired. It lacks 100% data control, with scalability improvements recommended. Microsoft's access means less server control for users.
