DriveWorks v20 SP2 onwards support DriveApps being provisioned on an Azure database.
However, we have found Azure will default to a database that is over-provisioned and expensive to run.
We recommend you review the costs of the vCore purchasing model and select the model that matches your requirements.
We recommend switching this to the DTU based purchasing model, 10 DTU's is perfectly suitable for most scenarios
