Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Create the elastic pool, then add databases to the pool, then configure per-database limits, then monitor pool performance, then scale the pool as needed.

    Why this is correct

    This is the correct order because you must first create the pool to have a container, then add databases to it, then set per-database limits to control resource usage, then monitor performance to identify scaling needs, and finally scale the pool to adjust resources.

  • Add databases to an existing pool first, then create the elastic pool, then configure per-database limits, then monitor, then scale.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because you cannot add databases before the pool exists; the pool must be created first.

  • Create the elastic pool, then configure per-database limits, then add databases, then monitor, then scale.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because per-database limits apply to databases already in the pool; you must add databases before configuring per-database limits.

  • Create the elastic pool, then add databases, then monitor, then configure per-database limits, then scale.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is incorrect because configuring per-database limits should be done early to set expectations; monitoring without limits set may show misleading performance data.
