Provisioning a Kong datastore in Microsoft Azure

When running Kong you need a datastore - Microsoft Azure can help with this as well!

Running PostgreSQL on Azure with Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Azure Database for PostgreSQL is a great way to use a managed PostgreSQL in the Azure Cloud.

Here are the simple steps to provision one:

1. Go to the Azure Portal
2. Create a new “Azure Database for PostgreSQL” instance
3. Go to “Connection Security” and enable access to Azure services

4. Create a new database called “kong” via the CLI or by using your favorite tool

    $ az postgres db create --name kong \
                            --resource-group kong-on-azure \
                            --server-name kong-on-azure
