Azure.ResourceManager.MySql (.NET)

Azure Resource Manager SDK for managing MySQL Flexible Server deployments.

Installation

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.MySql
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Current Version: v1.2.0 (GA)
API Version: 2023-12-30

Note: This skill focuses on MySQL Flexible Server. Single Server is deprecated and scheduled for retirement.

Core Workflows

1. Create MySQL Flexible Server

using Azure.ResourceManager.MySql.FlexibleServers;
using Azure.ResourceManager.MySql.FlexibleServers.Models;

ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await client
    .GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync()
    .Result
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

MySqlFlexibleServerCollection servers = resourceGroup.GetMySqlFlexibleServers();

MySqlFlexibleServerData data = new MySqlFlexibleServerData(AzureLocation.EastUS)
{
    Sku = new MySqlFlexibleServerSku("Standard_D2ds_v4", MySqlFlexibleServerSkuTier.GeneralPurpose),
    AdministratorLogin = "mysqladmin",
    AdministratorLoginPassword = "YourSecurePassword123!",
    Version = MySqlFlexibleServerVersion.Ver8_0_21,
    Storage = new MySqlFlexibleServerStorage
    {
        StorageSizeInGB = 128,
        AutoGrow = MySqlFlexibleServerEnableStatusEnum.Enabled,
        Iops = 3000
    },
    Backup = new MySqlFlexibleServerBackupProperties
    {
        BackupRetentionDays = 7,
        GeoRedundantBackup = MySqlFlexibleServerEnableStatusEnum.Disabled
    },
    HighAvailability = new MySqlFlexibleServerHighAvailability
    {
        Mode = MySqlFlexibleServerHighAvailabilityMode.ZoneRedundant,
        StandbyAvailabilityZone = "2"
    },
    AvailabilityZone = "1"
};

ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerResource> operation = await servers
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "my-mysql-server", data);

MySqlFlexibleServerResource server = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Server created: {server.Data.FullyQualifiedDomainName}");

2. Create Database

MySqlFlexibleServerResource server = await resourceGroup
    .GetMySqlFlexibleServerAsync("my-mysql-server");

MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseCollection databases = server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerDatabases();

MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseData dbData = new MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseData
{
    Charset = "utf8mb4",
    Collation = "utf8mb4_unicode_ci"
};

ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource> operation = await databases
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "myappdb", dbData);

MySqlFlexibleServerDatabaseResource database = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Database created: {database.Data.Name}");

3. Configure Firewall Rules

MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleCollection firewallRules = server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRules();

// Allow specific IP range
MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData ruleData = new MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData
{
    StartIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.1"),
    EndIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.255")
};

ArmOperation<MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleResource> operation = await firewallRules
    .CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "allow-internal", ruleData);

// Allow Azure services
MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData azureServicesRule = new MySqlFlexibleServerFirewallRuleData
{
    StartIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("0.0.0.0"),
    EndIPAddress = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("0.0.0.0")
};

await firewallRules.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, "AllowAllAzureServicesAndResourcesWithinAzureIps", azureServicesRule);

4. Update Server Configuration

MySqlFlexibleServerConfigurationCollection configurations = server.GetMySqlFlexibleServerConfigurations();

// Get current configuration
MySqlFlexibleServerConfigurationResource config = await configurations
