SQL Azure

Overview

The SQL Azure module contains two builders - sqlServer, used to create SQL Azure servers, and sqlDb, used to create individual databases. It supports features such as encryption, firewalls and automatic pool creation. Every SQL Azure server you create will automatically create a SecureString parameter for the admin account password.

SQL Azure server (Microsoft.Sql/servers)

SQL Server Builder Keywords

Keyword	Purpose
name	Sets the name of the SQL server.
add_firewall_rule	Adds a custom firewall rule given a name, start and end IP address range.
add_firewall_rules	As add_firewall_rule but a list of rules
enable_azure_firewall	Adds a firewall rule that enables access to other Azure services.
admin_username	Sets the admin username of the server.
elastic_pool_name	Sets the name of the elastic pool, if required. If not set, Farmer will generate a name for you.
elastic_pool_sku	Sets the sku of the elastic pool, if required. If not set, Farmer will default to Basic 50.
elastic_pool_database_min_max	Sets the optional minimum and maximum DTUs for the elastic pool for each database.
elastic_pool_capacity	Sets the optional disk size in MB for the elastic pool for each database.
min_tls_version	Sets the minium TLS version for the SQL server
geo_replicate	Geo-replicate all the databases in this server to another location, having NameSuffix after original server and database names.

SQL Server Configuration Members

Member	Purpose
ConnectionString	Gets a literal .NET connection string using the administrator username / password, given a database or database name. The password will be evaluated based on the contents of the password parameter supplied to the template at deploy time.
PasswordParameter	Gets a string that represents the parameter password required for deployment on the sql instance by Farmer e.g. “password-for-mysqlserver”.

SQL Database Builder Keywords

Keyword	Purpose
name	Sets the name of the database.
sku	Sets the sku of the database. If not set, the database is assumed to be part of an elastic pool which will be automatically created.
hybrid_benefit	If a VCore-style SKU is selected, this allows you to use Azure Hybrid Benefit licensing.
db_size	Sets the maximum database size.
collation	Sets the collation of the database.
use_encryption	Enables transparent data encryption of the database.

Example

open Farmer
open Farmer.Builders
open Sql

let myDatabases = sqlServer {
    name "my_server"
    admin_username "admin_username"
    enable_azure_firewall

    elastic_pool_name "mypool"
    elastic_pool_sku PoolSku.Basic100

    add_databases [
        sqlDb { name "poolDb1" }
        sqlDb { name "poolDb2" }
        sqlDb { name "dtuDb"; sku Basic }
        sqlDb { name "memoryDb"; sku M_8 }
        sqlDb { name "cpuDb"; sku Fsv2_8 }
        sqlDb { name "businessCriticalDb"; sku (BusinessCritical Gen5_2) }
        sqlDb { name "hyperscaleDb"; sku (Hyperscale Gen5_2) }
        sqlDb {
            name "generalPurposeDb"
            sku (GeneralPurpose Gen5_8)
            db_size (1024<Mb> * 128)
            hybrid_benefit
        }
    ]
}

let template = arm {
    location Location.NorthEurope
    add_resource myDatabases
}
