Create a new Resource Group

If you don’t have a resource group yet, you need to create one:

Provision a PostgreSQL database

You need a resource group to create PostgreSQL server instance:

az postgres server create --resource-group <resource> \
   --name "<server_name>" \
   --location eastus \
   --admin-user "<user>" \
   --admin-password "<admin_password>" \
   --sku-name GP_Gen5_2 \
   --version 10

Allow access to Azure Services

Create a firewall rule allowing acess from Azure internal services:

az postgres server firewall-rule create --resource-group <resource_group> \
   --server-name "<server_name>" \
   --name "allow-azure-internal" \
   --start-ip-address 0.0.0.0 \
   --end-ip-address 0.0.0.0
