I am regularly deploying and destroying Azure SQL Databases as part of a BI ETL solution.
Deploying a SQL Database regularly takes more than an hour; here is an example of one still going after 100+ minutes:
Region is UK South - I dont know if this makes any difference (I know it's hot here today!).
Does anyone know the cause of this? I am using ARM templates to deploy the Databases, with the Powershell New-AzResourceGroupDeployment command. Any help much appreciated
Thanks
Peter

I'm having the same issue. It is not returning errors. It seems to be just very slow.
Hi,
The Azure SQL Database service status in the UK South region looks to be healthy.
I recommend refreshing the page in your browser if you haven't done this yet.
If the deployment failed, you can post the error message here, and I will help you with this.
Hi, thanks for responding. The deployment eventually timed out after two hours. I'm trying again now. And this time the deployment was successful within three minutes. I'm not sure what's going on here.
Are there risks in redeploying resources with the same name as those you have recently deleted? I know deleted keyvaults need to be purged, but I'm not aware of problems of this nature with any other Azure resources.
In some cases, it needs 1-2 minutes more before trying again to re-deploy azure resources with the same name after deleting them.
I'm glad to hear that you've managed to deploy the resources successfully.

I notice having this issue quite often as well.
When destroying our full infrastructure, and running our IaC pipelines to recreate our full environment. It takes 1hour+ to just add a SQL database to the SQL server. (Knowing we have 10+ databases ... )
What is the cause for it to take this long?
