[Launched] Generally Available: User-managed plugin enablement in Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server

-


Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server has launched a generally available feature for user-managed plugin enablement, allowing customers greater control over plugin management without needing Microsoft support intervention. This is achieved through newly introduced built-in stored procedures specifically for managing plugins and undo log cleanup.

Key points about the feature include:

  • User-managed plugin enablement: Customers can now enable or disable the Validate Password Plugin directly via built-in stored procedures:

  • To enable: CALL az_install_validate_password_plugin();

  • To disable: CALL az_uninstall_validate_password_plugin();

  • Once enabled, the plugin’s configuration parameters become accessible through the Server Parameters page in the Azure portal, letting users customize plugin behavior on their own.

  • Undo log cleanup procedure: Another built-in stored procedure allows manual cleanup of undo logs, helping prevent unnecessary storage consumption and maintaining optimal server performance.

  • Additionally, the cachingsha2password plugin is now exposed by default, and customers can enable and configure it through server parameters in the Azure portal.

This feature enhances flexibility and autonomy for database administrators managing MySQL on Azure, aligning with Flexible Server’s goal to provide granular control over database management and configuration.

The announcement was made official in March 2025, emphasizing the introduction of these built-in procedures aimed at simplifying plugin management and maintenance tasks in Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server[3][5].
