When trying to create a Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server. It is taking too much time to initialize. I tried to create it with a basic spec and even tried changing the region. But it is stuck in the initialization process.

I am sorry to hear about the issue you are facing with our service.
Which region are you trying to create the server in?
What specifications (e.g., vCores, storage size) are you using for the server?
Are you receiving any specific error messages or codes during the initialization process?
Have you configured any specific network settings, such as VNet integration or firewall rules, that might affect the initialization?
Have you checked if your subscription has reached any quotas or limits that might be causing the delay?
Regards,
Oury

16 Jan 2025, 4:54 pm You might need to try different regions or open a support ticket so we can further investigate.

21 Jan 2025, 6:08 pm Did you had the chance to try deploying the service again.? I would suggest trying the below CLI code.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/postgres/flexible-server?view=azure-cli-latest
Please let us know if that works for you.
Regards,
Oury
