Restart an Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server instance by using the Azure portal
APPLIES TO: Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server
This topic describes how you can restart an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance. You may need to restart your server for maintenance reasons, which causes a short outage as the server performs the operation.
The server restart will be blocked if the service is busy. For example, the service may be processing a previously requested operation such as scaling vCores.
The time required to complete a restart depends on the MySQL recovery process. To decrease the restart time, we recommend you minimize the amount of activity occurring on the server prior to the restart.
