Deploying SQL Server & SQL Databases
The ARM template sqldeploy.json
and its parameter file (sqldeploy.parameters.json
) are used to deploy following resources:
- One SQL Server
- Three SQL databases (for ordering, catalog and identity) services.
- Firewall rules to allow access from any IP to SQL Server. This allows easy management, but is not desired in production environments.
Editing sqldeploy.parameters.json file
You must edit the sqldeploy.parameters.json
file to set login and password of the admin user.
sql_server
is a object parameter that contains the sql server name and the database names. You can leave default values if you want.admin
is a string with the admin logon. You MUST provide a valid valueadminpwd
is a string with the admin password. You MUST provide a valid value
ARM script ensures uniqueness of the SQL server created by appending one unique string in its name (defined in the sql_server.name
parameter).
Deploy the template
Once parameter file is edited you can deploy it using create-resources script.
i. e. if you are in windows, to deploy sql databases in a new resourcegroup located in westus, go to deploy\az
folder and type:
create-resources.cmd sql\sqldeploy newResourceGroup -c westus
