Quickstart: Create an Azure Database for MariaDB server by using the Azure CLI

  • Straipsnis

Important

Azure Database for MariaDB is on the retirement path. We strongly recommend that you migrate to Azure Database for MySQL. For more information about migrating to Azure Database for MySQL, see What's happening to Azure Database for MariaDB?.

You can use the Azure CLI to create and manage Azure resources from the command line or in scripts. This quickstart describes how to use the Azure CLI to create an Azure Database for MariaDB server in an Azure resource group in about five minutes.

If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.

Prerequisites

  • This article requires version 2.0 or later of the Azure CLI. If using Azure Cloud Shell, the latest version is already installed.

If you have multiple subscriptions, choose the subscription that contains the resource or the subscription in which you are billed. To select a specific subscription ID in your account, use the az account set command:

az account set --subscription 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Create a resource group

Create an Azure resource group by using the az group create command. A resource group is a logical container in which Azure resources are deployed and managed as a group.

The following example creates a resource group named myresourcegroup in the westus location:

az group create --name myresourcegroup --location westus

Create an Azure Database for MariaDB server

Create an Azure Database for MariaDB server by using the az mariadb server create command. A server can manage multiple databases. Typically, a separate database is used for each project or for each user.

Setting Sample value Description
name mydemoserver Enter a unique name that identifies your Azure Database for MariaDB server. The server name can contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-) character. It must contain between 3 and 63 characters.
resource-group myresourcegroup Enter the name of the Azure resource group.
sku-name GP_Gen5_2 The name of the SKU. Follows the convention pricing tier_compute generation_vCores in shorthand. For more information about the sku-name parameter, see the section after this table.
backup-retention 7 How long a backup should be retained. The unit is days. Range: 7 to 35.
geo-redundant-backup Disabled Whether geo-redundant backups should be enabled for this server. Allowed values: Enabled, Disabled.
location westus The Azure location for the server.
ssl-enforcement Enabled Whether SSL should be enabled for this server. Allowed values: Enabled, Disabled.
storage-size 51200 The storage capacity of the server (the unit is megabytes). Valid storage sizes are 5,120 MB (minimum) with increases in 1,024-MB increments. For more information about storage size limits, see Pricing tiers.
version 10.2 The MariaDB major engine version.
admin-user myadmin The user name for the administrator login. The admin-user parameter can't be azure_superuser, admin, administrator, root, guest, or public.
admin-password your password The password of the administrator user. Your password must contain between 8 and 128 characters. It must contain characters from three of the following categories: English uppercase letters, English lowercase letters, numbers, and non-alphanumeric characters.

The sku-name parameter value follows the convention {pricing tier}_{compute generation}_{vCores} as in the examples below:

  • --sku-name B_Gen5_1 maps to Basic, Gen 5, and 1 vCore. This option is the smallest SKU available.
  • --sku-name GP_Gen5_32 maps to General Purpose, Gen 5, and 32 vCores.
  • --sku-name MO_Gen5_2 maps to Memory Optimized, Gen 5, and 2 vCores.

For information about valid values by region and for tiers, see Pricing tiers.

The following example creates a server named mydemoserver in the West US region. The server is in the resource group myresourcegroup and has the server admin login myadmin. The server is a Gen 5 server in the General Purpose pricing tier and it has 2 vCores. A server name maps to a DNS name and must be globally unique in Azure. Substitute <server_admin_password> with your own server admin password.

az mariadb server create --resource-group myresourcegroup --name mydemoserver  --location westus --admin-user myadmin --admin-password <server_admin_password> --sku-name GP_Gen5_2 --version 10.2

Note

Consider using the Basic pricing tier if light compute and I/O are adequate for your workload. Note that servers created in the Basic pricing tier cannot later be scaled to General Purpose or Memory Optimized. See the pricing page for more information.

Configure a firewall rule

Create an Azure Database for MariaDB server-level firewall rule by using the az mariadb server firewall-rule create command. A server-level firewall rule allows an external application like the mysql command-line tool or MySQL Workbench to connect to your server through the Azure Database for MariaDB service firewall.

The following example creates a firewall rule called AllowMyIP that allows connections from a specific IP address, 192.168.0.1. Substitute an IP address or range of IP addresses that corresponds to the location you connect from.

az mariadb server firewall-rule create --resource-group myresourcegroup --server mydemoserver --name AllowMyIP --start-ip-address 192.168.0.1 --end-ip-address 192.168.0.1

Note

Connections to Azure Database for MariaDB communicate over port 3306. If you try to connect from inside a corporate network, outbound traffic over port 3306 might not be allowed. In this case, you can connect to your server only if your IT department opens port 3306.

Configure SSL settings

By default, SSL connections between your server and client applications are enforced. This default setting ensures security of "in-motion" data by encrypting the data stream over the internet. For this quickstart, disable SSL connections for your server. Disabling SSL is not recommended for production servers. For more information, see Configure SSL connectivity in your application to securely connect to Azure Database for MariaDB.

The following example disables SSL enforcing on your Azure Database for MariaDB server:

az mariadb server update --resource-group myresourcegroup --name mydemoserver --ssl-enforcement Disabled

Get connection information

To connect to your server, you need to provide host information and access credentials. To get the connection information, run the following command:

az mariadb server show --resource-group myresourcegroup --name mydemoserver

The result is in JSON format. Make a note of the values for fullyQualifiedDomainName and administratorLogin.

{
  "administratorLogin": "myadmin",
  "earliestRestoreDate": null,
  "fullyQualifiedDomainName": "mydemoserver.mariadb.database.azure.com",

Connect to the server by using the mysql command-line tool

Connect to your server by using the mysql command-line tool. You can download the command-line tool and install it on your computer. You can also access the command-line tool by selecting the Try It button on a code sample in this article. Another way to access the command-line tool is to select the >_ button on the upper-right toolbar in the Azure portal to open Azure Cloud Shell.

To connect to the server by using the mysql command-line tool:

  1. Connect to the server:

    mysql -h mydemoserver.mariadb.database.azure.com -u myadmin@mydemoserver -p

  2. View the server status at the mysql> prompt:

    status

    You should see something similar to the following text:

    C:\Users\>mysql -h mydemoserver.mariadb.database.azure.com -u myadmin@mydemoserver -p
Enter password: ***********
