Azure SQL Database enables you to configure your databases, and pools by using Azure PowerShell.
[!INCLUDE quickstarts-free-trial-note]
[!INCLUDE cloud-shell-try-it.md]
If you choose to install and use the PowerShell locally, this tutorial requires AZ PowerShell 1.4.0 or later. If you need to upgrade, see Install Azure PowerShell module. If you are running PowerShell locally, you also need to run Connect-AzAccount to create a connection with Azure.
