Suggested Answer:
Box 1: vCore -
You can only apply the Azure Hybrid licensing model when you choose a vCore-based purchasing model and the provisioned compute tier for your Azure SQL
Database. Azure Hybrid Benefit isn't available for service tiers under the DTU-based purchasing model or for the serverless compute tier.
Box 2: An Azure SQL Database elastic pool
Azure SQL Database elastic pools are a simple, cost-effective solution for managing and scaling multiple databases that have varying and unpredictable usage demands. The databases in an elastic pool are on a single server and share a set number of resources at a set price. Elastic pools in SQL Database enable software as a service (SaaS) developers to optimize the price performance for a group of databases within a prescribed budget while delivering performance elasticity for each database.

Answers are correct. VCore - With the provisioned compute, you can choose the amount of compute resources that are always provisioned for your workload. With the serverless compute you can specify the autoscaling of the compute resources over a configurable compute range. Support automatic scaling - elastic pool.

Purchase Model: b. vCore Deployment option: b. an Azure SQL Database elastic pool Explanation: a. Purchase Model: The vCore model provides a more direct way to choose compute and storage resources, and it can offer cost savings. The vCore-based purchasing model also allows you to use Azure Hybrid Benefit to save on licensing costs. b. Deployment option: Azure SQL Database elastic pools are a simple, cost-effective solution for managing and scaling multiple databases that have varying and unpredictable usage demands. Elastic pools enable you to purchase resources for a pool shared by multiple databases to accommodate unpredictable periods of usage by individual databases. You can allocate exactly the resources you need for your databases in a flexible, budget-friendly way.

License Mobility through Software Assurance enhances the value of volume licenses with Software Assurance by extending their use to the cloud. This benefit can also help you lower your operating costs by using an Authorized Mobility Partner’s shared infrastructure.

The answer is correct, but I'm still trying to understand why an Azure Solutions Architect would be "managing" a database, or any resources for that matter. This common across MSFT cert exams. Much overlap in role responsibilities in these specialty exams.

I feel the answer for this is managed instance, as only that supports bring your own licensing. Elastic pool is an option with azure sql which doesn't provide the option use the existing licensing.

that´s true, I check on website "To set or update the license type using the Azure portal: For new managed instances, during creation, select Configure Managed Instance on the Basics tab and select the option for Azure Hybrid Benefit. For existing managed instances, select Compute + storage in the Settings menu and select the option for Azure Hybrid Benefit." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/azure-hybrid-benefit?view=azuresql&tabs=azure-portal

managed instance does not support auto-scale: No, you need to choose reserved compute and storage. The change of service tier (vCore or max storage) is online and requires minimal or no downtime. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/features-comparison?view=azuresql
