When I created an Azure SQL Database (single server) I was expecting to see the option to select Workload environment: Development, which is the free edition of SQL Server. However, it's not there. I'm pretty sure I've seen it previously. I need to demo the capabilities of Azure SQL DB to clients. Should Developer Edition be available? Thanks.

Once your database is created, you can change the settings as needed. For example, you could modify the pricing tier to a less or more powerful option in the portal by navigating to your database -- settings -- Compute + storage blade.
