Azure Postgres Single Server is disabled due to forced migration

Question

Azure Postgres Single Server is disabled and I am unable to access it.

The Portal itself has conveyed the following message:

The last migration attempt didn't work or was cancelled. We'll reschedule the automatic migration soon.

We were awaiting the migration to be scheduled. But now the DB itself is inaccessible, and we are unable to connect to the database or initiate a migration.

Hi @ Prathamesh Joshi

Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Single Server was officially retired on March 28, 2025 instances that missed migration deadlines have been disabled. Periodic notifications were sent since the announcement on March 28, 2023, at intervals of 2 years, 18 months, 15 months, 1 year, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month, and 1 week.

Notifications were sent via email to the subscription owner as well as with service health alert in the portal. Also there was a notification on the portal page of Single Server as a popup acknowledgement for migration enablement.

I would like to inform you that, we have enabled the PostgreSQL single server for the next 30 days to migrate it to the Flexible Server, this is not extendable.

Use our migration service in Azure Database for PostgreSQL to simplify the migration experience. It provides both offline and online migration options.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/migrate/migration-service/tutorial-migration-service-single-to-flexible

Auto-migration option (offline mode only) can keep server name and DNS the same, so the application won’t need any connection string changes.

Note: Public Access needs to be enabled for the Single Server, and CMK server can’t be created using auto-migration.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
