Which Azure offering delivers a managed database with built-in high availability and automatic backups for a healthcare deployment?

Azure SQL Database is a fully managed relational database service that provides built-in high availability, automatic backups, and point-in-time restore capabilities, making it ideal for critical applications like healthcare. It handles patching, updates, and other maintenance tasks automatically. Azure Cosmos DB is a NoSQL database service, not a relational database, and while highly available, it's not the primary choice for traditional relational healthcare data. SQL Server on Azure VM requires manual management of high availability and backups, which is less efficient than a managed service. Azure Blob Storage is an object storage solution, not a database, and is used for storing unstructured data like images or documents, not relational data.
