Azure Database for MariaDB is on the retirement path. We strongly recommend that you migrate to Azure Database for MySQL. For more information about migrating to Azure Database for MySQL, see What's happening to Azure Database for MariaDB?.

After server creation you can scale between the General Purpose and Memory Optimized tiers as your needs change. You can also scale compute and memory by increasing or decreasing vCores. Storage can be scaled up (however, you cannot scale storage down).

Select General Purpose or Memory Optimized, depending on what you are scaling to.
