Generally Available: Azure SQL Managed Instance Next-gen General Purpose service tier

The Next‑gen General Purpose tier delivers a major performance boost while preserving the cost advantages you expect. You get more power and compute flexibility without sacrificing the simplicity of a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) experience. 

 

You can immediately get 3 to 5 times better performance simply by upgrading from the classic General Purpose tier. For more demanding workloads, you can fine‑tune your environment using configurable IOPS and adjustable memory‑to‑vCore ratios, getting the control you need to optimize without adding unnecessary costs. 

 

With Next‑gen General Purpose, you can run heavier workloads, scale with confidence, and achieve a better price-to-performance balance—all while staying on a fully managed service.
