Hello @David C ,
It seems you just didn't use the last required step to register your Azure VM with the SQL IaaS Agent Extension. You will need to run one more CLI (or PowerShell) command to register the SQL IaaS Agent Extension.
This step from the same page:
Register with extension:
Lightweight management mode(CLI)
# Register Enterprise or Standard self-installed VM in Lightweight mode
az sql vm create --name <vm_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --location <vm_location> --license-type <license_type>
//Name of the SQL virtual machine. The name of the new SQL virtual machine must be equal to the underlying virtual machine created from SQL marketplace image.
or
Full management mode (PowerShell)
# Get the existing Compute VM
$vm = Get-AzVM -Name <vm_name> -ResourceGroupName <resource_group_name>
# Register with SQL IaaS Agent extension in full mode
New-AzSqlVM -Name $vm.Name -ResourceGroupName $vm.ResourceGroupName -SqlManagementType Full
or
NoAgent management mode(CLI)
az sql vm create -n sqlvm -g myresourcegroup -l eastus |
--license-type <license type> --sql-mgmt-type NoAgent
--image-sku Enterprise --image-offer <image offer>
