Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Azure SQL Database -
SQL Server is a relational database service. Azure SQL Database is a managed SQL Server Database in Azure. The SQL Server is managed by Microsoft; you just have access to the database.
Box 2: Azure SQL Synapse Analytics
Azure SQL Synapse Analytics (previously called Data Warehouse) is a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering from Microsoft. It is a large-scale, distributed, MPP (massively parallel processing) relational database technology in the same class of competitors as Amazon Redshift or Snowflake. Azure SQL
Synapse Analytics is an important component of the Modern Data Warehouse multi-platform architecture. Because Azure SQL Synapse Analytics is an MPP system with a shared-nothing architecture across distributions, it is meant for large-scale analytical workloads which can take advantage of parallelism.
Box 3: Azure Data Lake Analytics
You can process big data jobs in seconds with Azure Data Lake Analytics. You can process petabytes of data for diverse workload categories such as querying,
ETL, analytics, machine learning, machine translation, image processing and sentiment analysis by leveraging existing libraries written in .NET languages, R or
Python.
Box 4: Azure HDInsight.
Apache Hadoop was the original open-source framework for distributed processing and analysis of big data sets on clusters. The Hadoop ecosystem includes related software and utilities, including Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Spark, Kafka, and many others.
Azure HDInsight is a fully managed, full-spectrum, open-source analytics service in the cloud for enterprises. The Apache Hadoop cluster type in Azure HDInsight allows you to use HDFS, YARN resource management, and a simple MapReduce programming model to process and analyze batch data in parallel.

Very handy thank you! I have one suggestion though, Synapse and Datalake descriptions both mention petabytes, but SQL Synapse is also relational. I would suggest this: Relational: SQL Massive Relational: SQL Synapse Just Massive: Datake OPensource: HD Insight, HD = HadoOP

Very confusing about the difference between Data Lake and Synapse. Even the MS engineer who answered this question seems to be saying the same, yet differently phrased: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/662946/what-is-the-difference-between-azure-synapse-analy
