Answer: A,C,E

Explanation:

CE: Estimate the vCores needed for the pool as follows:

For vCore-based purchasing model: MAX(<Total number of DBs X average vCore utilization per DB>, <Number of concurrently peaking DBs X Peak vCore utilization per DB)

A: Estimate the storage space needed for the pool by adding the number of bytes needed for all the databases in the pool.
