Creating SQL Server on Azure Cloud

Today i created an SQL Server Database on Azure cloud, Now a days many organisations are increasingly moving to cloud on various databases. I thought of trying SQL Server today and am still exploring all the options provided in azure for SQL server.

I captured some screenshots for the same and can outline the process:

In azure portal go to Databases and click on SQL Servers, the click create.

  

     The below screen will appear, Provide the resource group, Database Name and Server name. To create a server click on Create new and a new screen will appear 

In this screen provide server-name,username,password,location 

            

 You will need to check storage/compute option, do click and check how many DTU's and Disk space is required since you will be charged for the same. I chose a basic one for my testing 

Once done next page will be to validate network connectivity, i clicked on public endpoint to allow my machine to access the database (this, myip needs to be configured in firewall setting as well) 

Next step is Data source - if you want to create a blank, sample database or import from an existing one. i chose to create sample DB.

At the end click review and create and the deployment will take place, this takes a few minutes.

Once Done we can connect to your database using query editor and giving username/password that was given during DB Creation.
