PostgreSQL 16 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Managing a production PostgreSQL database on Azure is harder than it looks: dependency conflicts, untuned kernel parameters, and hours of manual security hardening before you can accept a single connection. This image eliminates that friction — your PostgreSQL 16 instance is ready to accept connections within minutes of first boot.

Pay-as-you-go pricing: $0.09 per vCPU per hour software fee, plus Azure infrastructure (billed by Microsoft). Example: a 4-vCPU VM runs about $263/month in software fees at 730 hours — stop the VM, stop paying.
