Two days ago, with no code changes or changes to the DB, I am not getting a lot (every 5 minutes or so) of errors with `The wait operation timed out` error with two different underlining full errors on about the pre-login and the other about the post:

> 
> System.Data.Entity.Core.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=21; handshake=14988; ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The wait operation timed out

The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase. The connection could have timed out while waiting for server to complete the login process and respond; Or it could have timed out while attempting to create multiple active connections. This failure occurred while attempting to connect to the routing destination. The duration spent while attempting to connect to the original server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=5; handshake=3098; [Login] initialization=0; authentication=0; [Post-Login] complete=7; The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=20; handshake=5; [Login] initialization=0; authentication=0; [Post-Login] complete=11003; ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The wait operation timed out

I am using Entity Framework and my web site is hosted on an Azure Web App. I have done some digging and most SO questions I find about this are NOT related to Entity Framework but ADO.Net the few posts I found lead me updated from a Basic to Standard (S0) service for the DB and creating a GlobalDBConfig with 

```
public class GlobalDBConfig : DbConfiguration
{
    public GlobalDBConfig()
    {
        SetExecutionStrategy("System.Data.SqlClient", () => new SqlAzureExecutionStrategy(2, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)));
    }
}

```

How can I figure out what else is going wrong and fix it? This is a very simple DB with simple queries and very little traffic to the site (less then 1000 visits a DAY)
