Host Template: Cloud - Azure - MySQL Server
Overview Copied
SQL Azure is Microsoft’s cloud database service. Based on SQL Server database technology and built on Microsoft’s Windows Azure cloud computing platform, SQL Azure enables organizations to store relational data in the cloud and quickly scale the size of their databases.
This Host Template includes the following Service Checks:
