Core Workflows

1. Create PostgreSQL Flexible Server

using Azure.ResourceManager.PostgreSql.FlexibleServers;
using Azure.ResourceManager.PostgreSql.FlexibleServers.Models;

ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await client
    .GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync()
    .Result
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerCollection servers = resourceGroup.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServers();

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerData data = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
    Sku = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerSku("Standard_D2ds_v4", PostgreSqlFlexibleServerSkuTier.GeneralPurpose),
    AdministratorLogin = "pgadmin",
    AdministratorLoginPassword = "YourSecurePassword123!",
    Version = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerVersion.Ver16,
    Storage = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerStorage
    {
        StorageSizeInGB = 128,
        AutoGrow = StorageAutoGrow.Enabled,
        Tier = PostgreSqlStorageTierName.P30
    },
    Backup = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerBackupProperties
    {
        BackupRetentionDays = 7,
        GeoRedundantBackup = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerGeoRedundantBackupEnum.Disabled
    },
    HighAvailability = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerHighAvailability
    {
        Mode = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerHighAvailabilityMode.ZoneRedundant,
        StandbyAvailabilityZone = "2"
    },
    AvailabilityZone = "1",
    AuthConfig = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerAuthConfig
    {
        ActiveDirectoryAuth = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerActiveDirectoryAuthEnum.Enabled,
        PasswordAuth = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerPasswordAuthEnum.Enabled
    }
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource> operation = await servers
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-postgresql-server", data);

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource server = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Server created: {server.Data.FullyQualifiedDomainName}");

2. Create Database

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
    .GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerAsync("my-postgresql-server");

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseCollection databases = server.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabases();

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseData dbData = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseData
{
    Charset = "UTF8",
    Collation = "en_US.utf8"
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource> operation = await databases
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "myappdb", dbData);

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource database = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Database created: {database.Data.Name}");

3. Configure Firewall Rules

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleCollection firewallRules = server.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRules();

// Allow specific IP range
PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData ruleData = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData
{
    StartIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.1"),
    EndIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.255")
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleResource> operation = await firewallRules
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "allow-internal", ruleData);

// Allow Azure services
PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData azureServicesRule = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData
{
    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

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerConfigurationCollection configurations = server.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerConfigurations();

// Get current configuration
PostgreSqlFlexibleServerConfigurationResource config = await configurations
    .GetAsync("max_connections");

// Update configuration
PostgreSqlFlexibleServerConfigurationData configData = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerConfigurationData
{
    Value = "500",
    Source = "user-override"
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerConfigurationResource> operation = await configurations
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "max_connections", configData);

// Common PostgreSQL configurations to tune
string[] commonParams = { 
    "max_connections", 
    "shared_buffers", 
    "work_mem", 
    "maintenance_work_mem",
    "effective_cache_size",
    "log_min_duration_statement"
};

5. Configure Entra ID Administrator

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerActiveDirectoryAdministratorCollection admins = 
    server.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerActiveDirectoryAdministrators();

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerActiveDirectoryAdministratorData adminData = 
    new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerActiveDirectoryAdministratorData
{
    PrincipalType = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerPrincipalType.User,
    PrincipalName = "[email protected]",
    TenantId = Guid.Parse("<tenant-id>")
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerActiveDirectoryAdministratorResource> operation = await admins
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "<entra-object-id>", adminData);

6. List and Manage Servers

// List servers in resource group
await foreach (PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource server in resourceGroup.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServers())
{
    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($"  SKU: {server.Data.Sku.Name} ({server.Data.Sku.Tier})");
    Console.WriteLine($"  HA: {server.Data.HighAvailability?.Mode}");
}

// List databases in server
await foreach (PostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource db in server.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerDatabases())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Database: {db.Data.Name}");
}

7. Backup and Point-in-Time Restore

// List available backups
await foreach (PostgreSqlFlexibleServerBackupResource backup in server.GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerBackups())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Backup: {backup.Data.Name}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Type: {backup.Data.BackupType}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Completed: {backup.Data.CompletedOn}");
}

// Point-in-time restore
PostgreSqlFlexibleServerData restoreData = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
    CreateMode = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerCreateMode.PointInTimeRestore,
    SourceServerResourceId = server.Id,
    PointInTimeUtc = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddHours(-2)
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource> operation = await servers
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-postgresql-restored", restoreData);

8. Create Read Replica

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerData replicaData = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerData(AzureLocation.WestUS)
{
    CreateMode = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerCreateMode.Replica,
    SourceServerResourceId = server.Id,
    Sku = new PostgreSqlFlexibleServerSku("Standard_D2ds_v4", PostgreSqlFlexibleServerSkuTier.GeneralPurpose)
};

ArmOperation<PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource> operation = await servers
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-postgresql-replica", replicaData);

9. Stop and Start Server

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
    .GetPostgreSqlFlexibleServerAsync("my-postgresql-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 PostgreSqlFlexibleServerRestartParameter
{
    RestartWithFailover = true,
    FailoverMode = PostgreSqlFlexibleServerFailoverMode.PlannedFailover
});

10. Update Server (Scale)

PostgreSqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
    .GetPo
