Examples

Create a read replica 'testreplicaserver' for 'testserver' with public or private access in the specified zone and location if available.

az postgres flexible-server replica create --replica-name testreplicaserver -g testGroup --source-server testserver --zone 3 --location testLocation

Create a read replica 'testreplicaserver' with new subnet for 'testserver' with private access.

az postgres flexible-server replica create --replica-name testreplicaserver -g testGroup \
  --source-server testserver --zone 3 --location testLocation \

  --private-dns-zone testDNS.postgres.database.azure.com

Create a read replica 'testreplicaserver' for 'testserver' with public or private access in the specified location if available. Since zone is not passed, it will automatically pick up zone in the replica location which is different from source server, if available, else will pick up zone same as source server in the replica location if available, else will set the zone as None, i.e. No preference

az postgres flexible-server replica create --replica-name testreplicaserver -g testGroup --source-server testserver --location testLocation

Create a read replica 'testreplicaserver' for 'testserver', where 'testreplicaserver' is in a different resource group 'newTestGroup'. Here --resource-group is for the read replica's resource group, and --source-server must be passed as resource ID.

az postgres flexible-server replica create --replica-name testreplicaserver -g newTestGroup         --source-server /subscriptions/{sourceSubscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{sourceResourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/{sourceServerName} --location testLocation
