2. Fill in the required information, such as the name of the database server, location, and subscription.
3. Choose the pricing tier and storage size for your database server.
4. Click "Create" to create the database server.

Step 3: Create a MySQL database

1. In the Azure portal, navigate to the "Create a resource" page and select "Database" > "MySQL" > "Database".
2. Fill in the required information, such as the name of the database, server name, and subscription.
3. Choose the database edition and storage size for your database.

Step 4: Configure the database server

1. In the Azure portal, navigate to the "Database servers" page and select the database server you created.
2. Click on "Configuration" and then "Server settings".
3. Update the server settings as needed, such as the server name, username, and password.
4. Click "Save" to save the changes.

Step 5: Connect to the database

Additional tips:

• You can also create a MySQL database using the Azure CLI. You can use the following command to create a database server and database:

  az mysql server create --name <server_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --location <location> --sku-name B_Gen5_1 --version 8.0
  az mysql db create --name <database_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server-name <server_name> --edition GeneralPurpose --storage-size 5120

• You can also create a MySQL database using the Azure portal's "Database" blade. Simply click on "Create a database" and follow the prompts.
• Make sure to update the firewall rules to allow incoming traffic to your database server. You can do this by navigating to the "Database servers" page, selecting the database server, and clicking on "Firewalls and virtual networks".
