Remediation

Considerations​

  • Confirm with application owners that the server is no longer required or can be safely resized.
  • Ensure any critical data is backed up before deletion or resizing.
  • Deleting or resizing a server may trigger a brief period of downtime.

Resize the PostgreSQL Server​

From Azure CLI​

az postgres server update \
    --name {{server-name}} \
    --resource-group {{resource-group-name}} \
    --sku-name {{new-sku-name}}

Monitor CPU, memory, and I/O metrics after resizing.

Delete the PostgreSQL Server​

Create a Backup​

From Azure CLI​

az postgres server backup create \
    --name {{server-name}} \
    --resource-group {{resource-group-name}} \
    --backup-name {{backup-name}}

Delete the PostgreSQL Server​

This operation is irreversible. Ensure backups are taken if data is needed.

From Azure CLI​

az postgres server delete \
    --name {{server-name}} \
    --resource-group {{resource-group-name}} \
    --yes
