Microsoft Azure for PostgreSQL

Azure is a set of cloud services from Microsoft. With Azure, it is possible to store information and create, manage, and deploy applications in the cloud. Among the different services present in Azure, we are going to work with databases and, more precisely, with PostgreSQL. Let's see how:

1. First of all, through the following link, we are going to register for an Azure account: https://portal.azure.com/.

2. We will enter our credentials to sign in to the portal:

3. After the previous steps, we will see the default services dashboard view:

So far, we have seen how easy it is to connect with the services that Azure offers. In the next section, we will see how to create our PostgreSQL service in the cloud.
