Use PowerShell to create a managed instance
Applies to: Azure SQL Managed Instance
This PowerShell script example creates a managed instance in a dedicated subnet within a new virtual network. It also configures a route table and a network security group for the virtual network. Once the script has been successfully run, the managed instance can be accessed from within the virtual network or from an on-premises environment. See Configure Azure VM to connect to Azure SQL Database Managed Instance and Configure a point-to-site connection to Azure SQL Managed Instance from on-premises.

Azure hosts Azure Cloud Shell, an interactive shell environment that you can use through your browser. You can use either Bash or PowerShell with Cloud Shell to work with Azure services. You can use the Cloud Shell preinstalled commands to run the code in this article, without having to install anything on your local environment.
To start Azure Cloud Shell:
Option | Example/Link |
---|---|
Select Try It in the upper-right corner of a code block. Selecting Try It doesn't automatically copy the code to Cloud Shell. | |
Go to https://shell.azure.com, or select the Launch Cloud Shell button to open Cloud Shell in your browser. | |
Select the Cloud Shell button on the menu bar at the upper right in the Azure portal. |
To run the code in this article in Azure Cloud Shell:
Start Cloud Shell.
Select the Copy button on a code block to copy the code.
Paste the code into the Cloud Shell session by selecting Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows and Linux, or by selecting Cmd+Shift+V on macOS.
Select Enter to run the code.
If you choose to install and use PowerShell locally, this tutorial requires Azure PowerShell 1.4.0 or later. If you need to upgrade, see Install Azure PowerShell module. If you are running PowerShell locally, you also need to run Connect-AzAccount
to create a connection with Azure.
