-The compute plane provides computational resources to the cluster. It contains nodes running SQL Server on Linux pods. The pods in the compute plane are divided into [compute pools](concept-compute-pool.md) for specific processing tasks. A compute pool can act as a [PolyBase](../relational-databases/polybase/polybase-guide.md) scale-out group for distributed queries over different data sources—such as Oracle, MongoDB, or Teradata. It can also be configured to cache data returned from external queries.
