Elastic Job has multiple components.
- Elastic Job Agent - Azure resource responsible for creating, running and managing jobs. An existing Azure SQL Database (S0 or higher) is required to create Job Agent.
- Job Database - Used to define jobs, track status and history of job executions. An existing Azure SQL Database (S0 or higher) is required to create a Job database.
- Target Group - Defines a set of databases a job step will execute on. A Target group may contain SQL Database Servers, Elastic Pools, Single Database or databases of Shardmap.
- Job - Unit of work that is executed on a schedule or as a one-time activity. A job contains one or more steps.
