Introduction
SQL server is a software to maintain a relational database system developed by Microsoft. This main function of SQL server is storing and retrieving data from any software or application.
Before, Microsoft provided SQL Server as the software to be installed and used in its own computers. But nowadays, Azure provides the SQL server as one of the services in our cloud.
By reading this article, you will learn how to create an SQL server in the Azure cloud.
Prerequisites for Creating SQL Server
Step 1
Step 2
Select “All Services” from the left side navigation pane.
Step 3
In the “All Services” page, select the “Databases” from the left pane and then click the “SQL Servers”.
Step 4
Now you have entered the SQL server page. Click the “Add” option to create a new SQL server.
Step 5
In the “Create SQL Database Server” page, we are filling our SQL Server credentials.
- Select your subscription and Resource group name. (In my previous article, I explained how to create a Resource group in Azure cloud).
- You can give a name to your SQL Server and select a location for your SQL server.
- Give login credentials like username & password to your SQL Server.
- Click the “Review + Create” button.
Step 6
Next, on the review page it displays our product details and basic information. Click the “Create” button our SQL Server deploys within 2 Minutes.
Step 7
After, the “your deployment is complete message” is displayed, click the “Go to resource” button to access the SQL Server dashboard.
Summary
Finally, we created the SQL Server in Azure cloud.
