Not all SQL applications are fully compatible with cloud-native database services such as Azure SQL (PaaS) or CosmosDB, and Azure SQL Managed Instance (Managed IaaS) which provides higher compatibility may be too expensive an option or require application changes to fully exploit (e.g. drivers may need to be updated). It is still necessary in many scenarios to run a SQL server in Azure. Luckily terraform supports this management with the azurerm_mssql_virtual_machine resource block.

It can be used to set up the license, connectivity, username and password, patching, and storage options, as well as many other configuration areas of the SQL server itself.
