Where can I get the list of available sku_names of Azure MySQL DB for using Terraform


I'm writing a Terraform script for creating Azure MySQL. While selecting the sku_name section, I couldn't find how to select those names. I found this link that describes the pricing tiers. Is there anywhere can I get the list of sku_name and its details on a single link or page?

It is mentioned that the sku_name is of this form mentioned below:

sku_name - (Required) Specifies the SKU Name for this MySQL Server. The name of the SKU, follows the tier + family + cores pattern (e.g. B_Gen4_1, GP_Gen5_8).

But, from where do we get the list of options?


Solution

  • I always use az-cli to get this kind of information.

    You can search for az <service> sku on google and it will usually point you in the right direction.

    For Mysql you have:

    az mysql server list-skus --location [--subscription]
    

    eg.

    az mysql server list-skus --location westeurope -o table
    

    outputs
