To deploy a PostgreSQL server on the Azure Database, follow the below steps.

Once you launch the tool, select the Azure Database option. Click on the Next button to proceed further.

In the Credentials dialog, select authentication method either interactive browser or Azure CLI. Azure CLI will use the currently logged in identity through the Azure CLI on the local machine. Interactive Browser will open a browser window to authenticate a user interactively.

Use the Azure tenant id to specify Azure tenant ID against which user is authenticated.

Clicking the Click here to authenticate yourself to Microsoft Azure button, user will be redirected to the Microsoft Azure authentication page in a new browser tab if the Interactive Browser option is selected. Azure CLI authentication can be used only in Desktop mode.

Once authentication is completed, click on the next button to proceed.

- Select a subscription from the Subscription options which are populated based on user access levels in Azure portal.

- Select the resource group from Resource Group dropdown under which the PostgreSQL instance will be created.

- Select the location to deploy PostgreSQL instance from Location options.

- Select the availability zone in specified region to deploy PostgreSQL instance from Availability zone options.

At the end, review the instance details that you provided. Click on Finish button to deploy the instance on Azure Database.

Once you click on the finish, one background process will start which will deploy the instance in the cloud and monitor the progress of the deployment. You can view all the background processes with their running status and logs on the Processes tab.

The Server will be added to the tree with the cloud deployment icon. Once the deployment is done, the server details will be updated.
