Managed Instance SQL Size (8TB General purpose) is per database or per SQL instance

Question

Need to know the database size limit for Azure SQL Managed Instance, is that per server or per database?. I mean can I have 2 databases of 7TB each in one managed instance?

Answer 1

The storage limit is at the instance (server) level. The maximum storage size for MI is 8TB so you would need to split these two 7 TB databases across 2 servers (instances).
