APPLIES TO: Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server

Azure Database for MySQL flexible server supports two types of mutually exclusive network connectivity methods to connect to your Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance. The two options are:

  • Public access (allowed IP addresses)
  • Private access (virtual network integration)

This article focuses on creation of MySQL server with Private access (virtual network Integration) using Azure CLI. With Private access (virtual network integration), you can deploy your Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance into your own Azure Virtual Network. Azure Virtual Networks provide private and secure network communication. In Private access, the connections to the Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance are restricted to only within your virtual network. To learn more about it, refer to Private access (Virtual Network Integration).

In Azure Database for MySQL flexible server, you can only deploy the server to a virtual network and subnet during creation of the server. After the Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance is deployed to a virtual network and subnet, you can't move it to another virtual network, subnet or to Public access (allowed IP addresses).

Launch Azure Cloud Shell

The Azure Cloud Shell is a free interactive shell that you can use to run the steps in this article. It has common Azure tools preinstalled and configured to use with your account.

To open the Cloud Shell, just select Try it from the upper right corner of a code block. You can also open Cloud Shell in a separate browser tab by going to https://shell.azure.com/bash. Select Copy to copy the blocks of code, paste it into the Cloud Shell, and select Enter to run it.

If you prefer to install and use the CLI locally, this quickstart requires Azure CLI version 2.0 or later. Run az --version to find the version. If you need to install or upgrade, see Install Azure CLI.

Prerequisites

You need to sign in to your account using the az login command. Note the ID property, which refers to Subscription ID for your Azure account.

az login

Select the specific subscription under your account using az account set command. Make a note of the ID value from the az login output to use as the value for subscription argument in the command. If you have multiple subscriptions, choose the appropriate subscription in which the resource should be billed. To get all your subscription, use az account list.

az account set --subscription <subscription id>

Create an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance using CLI

You can use the az mysql flexible-server command to create the Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance with Private access (virtual network integration). This command uses Private access (virtual network integration) as the default connectivity method. A virtual network and subnet are created for you if none is provided. You can also provide the already existing virtual network and subnet using subnet ID. There are various options to create an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance using CLI as shown in the following examples.

Important

Using this command will delegate the subnet to Microsoft.DBforMySQL/flexibleServers. This delegation means that only Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instances can use that subnet. No other Azure resource types can be in the delegated subnet.

Refer to the Azure CLI reference documentation for the complete list of configurable CLI parameters. For example, in the following commands you can optionally specify the resource group.

  • Create an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance using default virtual network, subnet with default address prefix.

    az mysql flexible-server create

  • Create an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance using already existing virtual network and subnet. If provided virtual network and subnet don't exist, then virtual network and subnet with default address prefix are created.

    az mysql flexible-server create --vnet myVnet --subnet mySubnet

  • Create an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance using already existing virtual network, subnet, and using the subnet ID. The provided subnet shouldn't have any other resource deployed in it and this subnet are delegated to Microsoft.DBforMySQL/flexibleServers, if not already delegated.

    az mysql flexible-server create --subnet /subscriptions/{SubID}/resourceGroups/{ResourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/{VNetName}/subnets/{SubnetName}

    Note

    The virtual network and subnet should be in the same region and subscription as your Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance. <

  • Create an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server instance using a new virtual network, subnet with nondefault address prefix.

    az mysql flexible-server create --vnet myVnet --address-prefixes 10.0.0.0/24 --subnet mySubnet --subnet-prefixes 10.0.0.0/24

Refer to the Azure CLI reference documentation for the complete list of configurable CLI parameters.
