Manage Azure SQL resources with the Azure portal

To access the Azure SQL page, from the Azure portal menu, select Azure SQL or search for and select Azure SQL in any page.

The Azure portal provides a single page where you can manage all of your Azure SQL resources including your SQL Server on Azure virtual machines (VMs). To manage existing resources, select the desired item in the list.

Note

Azure SQL provides a quick and easy way to access all of your SQL resources in the Azure portal, including single and pooled databases in Azure SQL Database as well as the logical server hosting them, Azure SQL Managed Instances, and SQL Server on Azure VMs. What is Azure SQL? isn't a service or resource, but rather a family of SQL-related services.
