Azure DB for MySQL is similar as Azure SQL DB Elastic pool or Azure SQL DB managed instance.

With Azure DB for MySQL server, we can create one or multiple DBs. We can >

1. Create a single DB per server to use all the resources or
2. Create multiple databases to share the resources. The pricing is structured per-server, based on the configuration of pricing tier, vCores, and storage (GB).

Similarly in Azure SQL DB Elastic Pool

Azure SQL DB elastic pools are cost-effective solution for managing and scaling multiple databases that have varying and unpredictable usage demands. The DBs in an elastic pool are on a single server and share a set number of resources at a set price. Elastic pools in Azure SQL DB enable SaaS developers to optimize the price performance for a group of databases within a prescribed budget while delivering performance elasticity for each database.

Only Azure SQL DB has the feature to have multiple databases with separate physical resources in the same logical server. In Azure DBs for MySQL, If you wish to have two DBs with their own dedicated resources, you need to have two separate Azure DBs for MySQL Servers.
