A serverless SQL database has almost no user CPU activity but never pauses. It has active geo-replication and persistent open sessions. What best explains the behavior?

Choose the single best answer.

A.Geo-replication always pauses both replicas together without restriction
B.The vCore purchasing model disables every autoscaling capability
C.Both the geographic replication feature and open sessions can prevent auto-pause
D.Auto-pause must occur whenever CPU is near zero, so the platform is necessarily faulty

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Both the geographic replication feature and open sessions can prevent auto-pause

Auto-pause has feature and session conditions, so inactivity alone is insufficient. Geo-replication is listed as preventing pause, not forcing synchronized pause. The vCore model does not categorically disable autoscaling. Source guide: PDF page 24.
