5858
- support for up to 30 named replicas (for each primary replica);
5959
- support different authentication for each named replica by creating different logins on logical servers hosting named replicas.

As a result, named replicas offers several benefits over HA replicas, for what concern read-only workloads:

63+
- users connected to a named replica will suffer no disconnection if the primary replica is scaled up or down; at the same time users connected to primary replica will be unaffected by named replicas scaling up or down
64+
- workloads running on any replica, primary or named, will be unaffected by long running queries running on other replicas
