>You automatically get 3 highly-available replicas of your database for no extra cost ... All of this for $30/mo (Standard S1

Note that Standards do not have more than one replica. Only Premiums do.



When did this change? Back in 2012 [1] before there even was a Premium tier, all Azure SQL databases included built-in fault-tolerance with two secondary replicas at any one time. Did they remove this feature for Standard?

Basics and Standards (edit: on v12 servers) have always had a single replica. Web and Business are the ones that had three replicas.
