Hi @Dor Yaloz ,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

Quick checklist for “can’t access / can’t delete” Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Flexible Server:

1. Subscription/region blockers • Register provider: az provider register --namespace Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL • Check IAM role and deny assignments (need Owner/Contributor or equivalent) • Remove resource locks (RG/subscription → Locks) • Review Activity log for RequestDisallowedByPolicy, quota/capacity; try another region or raise a quota request if needed
2. Delete-specific blockers • Delete read replicas first • Ensure no long-running control-plane op is active (Updating/Deleting); if stuck, open a support ticket to cancel/unblock • Confirm no policy/blueprint is denying delete for this resource type
3. Access (connectivity) checks • Server state is “Available” • Use correct FQDN *.postgres.database.azure.com with SSL; port 5432 open • Public access: add client IP to firewall • Private access: DNS resolves to private IP; NSG/UDR allow traffic on delegated subnet
