Add the Azure MySQL service

Prepare to use the Azure MySQL service

Go to Infrastructure → Public
Add the Azure region/s for your databases to your Abiquo platform
From the user icon menu or from Users view, edit your Enterprise credentials and add your Azure compute credentials.

The Azure MySQL service enables you to Manage Azure database for MySQL service (with a single server) as part of your Abiquo multicloud platform.

To add the Azure MySQL service to Abiquo and make it available for administrators to offer to tenants, create a Default service configuration.

Privileges: Manage default services

To create a default service configuration:

Go to Catalogue → Services
Add a default service configuration
Click + add and select the AzureMySQLService

Select the Azure MySQL service
For General information you can configure the Name, Description, and Icon
For Properties, you do not need to enter any values because the service can access the Azure credentials of the enterprise in an Azure region
Go to the Can be used by tab and configure the service for customers of your reseller
1. Click + add, for Entity select Location. Click Add
Click Save

Abiquo will add the Default service configuration for the Azure MySQL service, and administrators can now add this service to Azure locations.

To add an Azure MySQL service configuration so users can work with Azure MySQL single servers:

Privileges: Manage location services

Go to myCloud → Global, select Azure, and onboard or create a resource group.
See Manage resource groups
Go to myCloud → Locations and select the Azure region where you would like to create the Azure database
Go to Services and click + add
Select the Azure Database for MySQL service
Complete the dialog on the General information tab.
The Properties tab name will display in Orange but you do not need to do anything
Click Save.

From this service configuration, users can list (and then onboard), and create Azure MySQL for single server instances.
