What's happening with single database servers?
Azure will stop supporting single database servers in 2025, which are currently labeled as "database servers" in MedStack Control clusters.
- If you have single database servers running in a cluster, they'll continue to operate. However, there will be an upcoming maintenance activity in the Spring 2024 to migrate from single database servers to flexible database servers.
- If you do not have any single database servers running in a cluster, you will not see the "database servers" table and will only be able to deploy new flexible database servers.
