Create an Azure Database for MySQL server using Azure CLI

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

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

[!INCLUDE cloud-shell-try-it]

If you choose to install and use the CLI locally, this article requires that you are running the 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 2.0.

If you have multiple subscriptions, choose the appropriate subscription in which the resource exists or is billed for. Select a specific subscription ID under your account using az account set command.

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

Create a resource group

Create an Azure resource group using the az group create command. A resource group is a logical container into 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 MySQL server

Create an Azure Database for MySQL server with the az mysql server create command. A server can manage multiple databases. Typically, a separate database is used for each project or for each user.

The following example creates a server in West US named mydemoserver in your resource group myresourcegroup with server admin login myadmin. This is a Gen 4 General Purpose server with 2 vCores. The name of a server maps to DNS name and is thus required to be globally unique in Azure. Substitute the <server_admin_password> with your own value.

az mysql server create --resource-group myresourcegroup --name mydemoserver  --location westus --admin-user myadmin --admin-password <server_admin_password> --sku-name GP_Gen4_2 --version 5.7

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

  • --sku-name B_Gen4_4 maps to Basic, Gen 4, and 4 vCores.
  • --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.

Please see the pricing tiers documentation to understand the valid values per region and per tier.

Configure firewall rule

Create an Azure Database for MySQL server-level firewall rule using the az mysql server firewall-rule create command. A server-level firewall rule allows an external application, such as the mysql.exe command-line tool or MySQL Workbench to connect to your server through the Azure MySQL service firewall.

The following example creates a firewall rule called AllowMyIP that allows connections from a specific IP address, 192.168.0.1. Substitute in the IP address or range of IP addresses that correspond to where you'll be connecting from.

az mysql 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 MySQL communicate over port 3306. If you try to connect from within a corporate network, outbound traffic over port 3306 might not be allowed. If this is the case, you can't connect to your server unless your IT department opens port 3306.

Configure SSL settings

By default, SSL connections between your server and client applications are enforced. This default ensures security of "in-motion" data by encrypting the data stream over the internet. To make this quick start easier, 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 MySQL.

The following example disables enforcing SSL on your MySQL server.

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

Get the connection information

To connect to your server, you need to provide host information and access credentials.

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

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

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

Connect to the server using the mysql.exe command-line tool

Connect to your server using the mysql.exe command-line tool. You can download MySQL from here and install it on your computer. Instead you may also click the Try It button on code samples, or the >_ button from the upper right toolbar in the Azure portal, and launch the Azure Cloud Shell.

Type the next commands:

  1. Connect to the server using mysql command-line tool:
 mysql -h mydemoserver.mysql.database.azure.com -u myadmin@mydemoserver -p
  1. View server status:
 mysql> status

If everything goes well, the command-line tool should output the following text:

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

Tip

For additional commands, see MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual - Chapter 4.5.1.

Connect to the server using the MySQL Workbench GUI tool

  1. Launch the MySQL Workbench application on your client computer. You can download and install MySQL Workbench from here.

  2. In the Setup New Connection dialog box, enter the following information on Parameters tab:

setup new connection

Setting Suggested Value Description
Connection Name My Connection Specify a label for this connection (this can be anything)
Connection Method choose Standard (TCP/IP) Use TCP/IP protocol to connect to Azure Database for MySQL>
Hostname mydemoserver.mysql.database.azure.com Server name you previously noted.
Port 3306 The default port for MySQL is used.
Username myadmin@mydemoserver The server admin login you previously noted.
Password **** Use the admin account password you configured earlier.

Click Test Connection to test if all parameters are correctly configured. Now, you can click the connection to successfully connect to the server.

Clean up resources

If you don't need these resources for another quickstart/tutorial, you can delete them by doing the following command:

az group delete --name myresourcegroup

If you would just like to delete the one newly created server, you can run az mysql server delete command.

az mysql server delete --resource-group myresourcegroup --name mydemoserver
