Core Workflows
1. Create MySQL Flexible Server
using Azure.ResourceManager.MySql.FlexibleServers;
using Azure.ResourceManager.MySql.FlexibleServers.Models;
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await client
.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync()
.Result
.GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");
MySqlFlexibleServerCollection servers = resourceGroup.GetMySqlFlexibleServers();
MySqlFlexibleServerData data = new MySqlFlexibleServerData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
Sku = new MySqlFlexibleServerSku("Standard_D2ds_v4", MySqlFlexibleServerSkuTier.GeneralPurpose),
AdministratorLogin = "mysqladmin",
AdministratorLoginPassword = "YourSecurePassword123!",
Version = MySqlFlexibleServerVersion.Ver8_0_21,
Storage = new MySqlFlexibleServerStorage
{
StorageSizeInGB = 128,
AutoGrow = MySqlFlexibleServerEnableStatusEnum.Enabled,
Iops = 3000
},
Backup = new MySqlFlexibleServerBackupProperties
{
BackupRetentionDays = 7,
GeoRedundantBackup = MySqlFlexibleServerEnableStatusEnum.Disabled
},
HighAvailability = new MySqlFlexibleServerHighAvailability
{
Mode = MySqlFlexibleServerHighAvailabilityMode.ZoneRedundant,
StandbyAvailabilityZone = "2"
},
AvailabilityZone = "1"
};
ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerResource> operation = await servers
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-mysql-server", data);
MySqlFlexibleServerResource server = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Server created: {server.Data.FullyQualifiedDomainName}");
2. Create Database
MySqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
.GetMySqlFlexibleServerAsync("my-mysql-server");
MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseCollection databases = server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerDatabases();
MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseData dbData = new MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseData
{
Charset = "utf8mb4",
Collation = "utf8mb4_unicode_ci"
};
ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource> operation = await databases
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "myappdb", dbData);
MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource database = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Database created: {database.Data.Name}");
3. Configure Firewall Rules
MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleCollection firewallRules = server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRules();
// Allow specific IP range
MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData ruleData = new MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData
{
StartIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.1"),
EndIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.255")
};
ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleResource> operation = await firewallRules
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "allow-internal", ruleData);
// Allow Azure services
MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData azureServicesRule = new MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData
{
StartIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("0.0.0.0"),
EndIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("0.0.0.0")
};
await firewallRules.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "AllowAllAzureServicesAndResourcesWithinAzureIps", azureServicesRule);
4. Update Server Configuration
MySqlFlexibleServerConfigurationCollection configurations = server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerConfigurations();
// Get current configuration
MySqlFlexibleServerConfigurationResource config = await configurations
.GetAsync("max_connections");
// Update configuration
MySqlFlexibleServerConfigurationData configData = new MySqlFlexibleServerConfigurationData
{
Value = "500",
Source = MySqlFlexibleServerConfigurationSource.UserOverride
};
ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerConfigurationResource> operation = await configurations
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "max_connections", configData);
// Common configurations to tune
string[] commonParams = { "max_connections", "innodb_buffer_pool_size", "slow_query_log", "long_query_time" };
5. Configure Entra ID Administrator
MySqlFlexibleServerAadAdministratorCollection admins = server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerAadAdministrators();
MySqlFlexibleServerAadAdministratorData adminData = new MySqlFlexibleServerAadAdministratorData
{
AdministratorType = MySqlFlexibleServerAdministratorType.ActiveDirectory,
Login = "[email protected]",
Sid = Guid.Parse("<entra-object-id>"),
TenantId = Guid.Parse("<tenant-id>"),
IdentityResourceId = new ResourceIdentifier("/subscriptions/.../userAssignedIdentities/mysql-identity")
};
ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerAadAdministratorResource> operation = await admins
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "ActiveDirectory", adminData);
6. List and Manage Servers
// List servers in resource group
await foreach (MySqlFlexibleServerResource server in resourceGroup.GetMySqlFlexibleServers())
{
Console.WriteLine($"Server: {server.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($" FQDN: {server.Data.FullyQualifiedDomainName}");
Console.WriteLine($" Version: {server.Data.Version}");
Console.WriteLine($" State: {server.Data.State}");
Console.WriteLine($" SKU: {server.Data.Sku.Name} ({server.Data.Sku.Tier})");
}
// List databases in server
await foreach (MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource db in server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerDatabases())
{
Console.WriteLine($"Database: {db.Data.Name}");
}
7. Backup and Restore
// List available backups
await foreach (MySqlFlexibleServerBackupResource backup in server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerBackups())
{
Console.WriteLine($"Backup: {backup.Data.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($" Type: {backup.Data.BackupType}");
Console.WriteLine($" Completed: {backup.Data.CompletedOn}");
}
// Point-in-time restore
MySqlFlexibleServerData restoreData = new MySqlFlexibleServerData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
CreateMode = MySqlFlexibleServerCreateMode.PointInTimeRestore,
SourceServerResourceId = server.Id,
RestorePointInTime = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddHours(-2)
};
ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerResource> operation = await servers
.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-mysql-restored", restoreData);
8. Stop and Start Server
MySqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
.GetMySqlFlexibleServerAsync("my-mysql-server");
// Stop server (saves costs when not in use)
await server.StopAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
// Start server
await server.StartAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
// Restart server
await server.RestartAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, new MySqlFlexibleServerRestartParameter
{
RestartWithFailover = MySqlFlexibleServerEnableStatusEnum.Enabled,
MaxFailoverSeconds = 60
});
9. Update Server (Scale)
MySqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
.GetMySqlFlexibleServerAsync("my-mysql-server");
MySqlFlexibleServerPatch patch = new MySqlFlexibleServerPatch
{
Sku = new MySqlFlexibleServerSku("Standard_D4ds_v4", MySqlFlexibleServerSkuTier.GeneralPurpose),
Storage = new MySqlFlexibleServerStorage
{
StorageSizeInGB = 256,
Iops = 6000
}
};
ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerResource> operation = await server
.UpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, patch);
10. Delete Server
MySqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
.GetMySqlFlexibleServerAsync("my-mysql-server");
await server.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
