Managed PostgreSQL on Azure with Flexible Server and Hyperscale (Citus) deployment options. HIPAA BAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, ISO 27001. Native Azure AD integration, encryption with customer-managed keys, geo-redundant backups.
Azure Database for PostgreSQL is Microsoft's managed Postgres on Azure — Commercial, with Flexible Server + Hyperscale (Citus) deployment options. HIPAA BAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 attested. Native Azure AD integration, customer-managed keys, geo-redundant backups. The BAA-signing path for Azure-native Postgres workloads.
Mirrors AWS RDS Postgres positioning for Azure ecosystem. Substrate = Azure; vendor = Azure service-level attestations. Hyperscale (Citus) variant adds horizontal sharding for very large workloads. Single-cloud (Azure) lock-in.
