11. Throttling Impact = Code % 4 If remainder is 0: No throttling 1: Reject Update/Insert 2: Reject All Writes 3: Reject all Step 1: Reasons = Code/256 = 512 Step 2: Convert Reasons to binary 512 => 1000000000 (2) Step 3: Group in sets of 2 digits from right to left: 10|00|00|00|00 (2) Throttling Type 1000 Resource Code 876543210 Why am I throttled? How bad is it? Code = 131075

12. Solution: Yes. Load balancer moves A or B away from this machine Throttling Trigger: B Throttling Victim: B Fairness: Fair to throttle B - B uses more CPU than A - B triggered throttling on the machine

13. Solution: Yes. Load balancer moves A or B away from this machine Throttling Trigger: B Throttling Victim: A Fairness: Not quite fair to throttle A - B triggered throttling on the machine

14. Solution: No. A will get throttle anywhere it is placed. A exceeds a machine’s total CPU Throttling Trigger: A Throttling Victim: A Fairness: Fair from system perspective but customer will not be happy =( Customer A needs to optimize and reduce resource usage to fit within a SQL Azure machine
