Create an Azure SQL Managed Instance using the Azure CLI

This Azure CLI script example creates an Azure SQL Managed Instance in a dedicated subnet within a new virtual network. It also configures a route table and a network security group for the virtual network. Once the script has been successfully run, the managed instance can be accessed from within the virtual network or from an on-premises environment. See Configure Azure VM to connect to an Azure SQL Managed Instance and Configure a point-to-site connection to an Azure SQL Managed Instance from on-premises.
