+# Create an Azure SQL Database using Azure Data Studio
+
+You can create an Azure SQL Database using Azure Data Studio through the deployment wizard and notebooks.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+ - [Azure Data Studio](download-azure-data-studio.md) is installed
+ - An active Azure account and subscription. If you don't have one, [create a free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
+
+## Use the deployment wizard
+
+Follow these steps to use the deployment wizard, which will guide you through the required settings in a simple UI experience.
+
+First, find, and select Azure SQL Database in the deployment wizard.
+
+ 1. In Azure Data Studio, select the Connections viewlet on the left-side navigation.
+ 2. Select the **...** button at the top of the Connections panel and choose **New Deployment...**
+ 3. In the deployment wizard, select the **Azure SQL Database** tile and check the terms acceptance checkbox
+ 4. In the Resource type dropdown, select what you would like to create - either a database, database server, or elastic pool. If you don't have any SQL Databases in Azure, we recommend starting by creating a database.
+ 5. Select **Create in Azure portal**
+
+Next, enter all preferred settings for creating your database, server, or pool. You can find some guidance on how to configure these settings in the [Azure SQL documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-sql/database/single-database-create-quickstart?tabs=azure-portal).
+
+## Next steps
+
+After you've created your database, server, or pool, you can [connect and query](quickstart-sql-database.md) your database in Azure Data Studio.

+# Create SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines using Azure Data Studio
+
+You can create an SQL virtual machine (VM) using Azure Data Studio through the deployment wizard and notebooks.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+- [Azure Data Studio](download-azure-data-studio.md) is installed
+- An active Azure account and subscription. If you don't have one, [create a free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
+
+## Use the deployment wizard
+
+Follow these steps to use the deployment wizard, which will guide you through the required settings in a simple UI experience.
+
+First, find, and select Azure SQL VM in the deployment wizard.
+
+1. In Azure Data Studio, select the Connections viewlet on the left-side navigation.
+
+2. Select the **...** button at the top of the Connections panel and choose **New Deployment.**
+
+3. In the deployment wizard, select the **Azure SQL VM** tile and check the terms acceptance checkbox
+
+4. If prompted to, install the required tools and then select the **Select** button at the bottom.
+
+Next, enter all of the required parameters in the Azure SQL VM wizard.
+
+1. Sign in to your Azure account if you'ven't already. You can refresh your connection if you've issues on this page of the wizard.
+
+2. Select your desired subscription, resource group, and region. Then select **Next**.
+
+3. Enter a unique Virtual Machine name and your username and password credentials.
+
+4. Select your preferred image, SKU, and version, and then select your preferred VM size. You can learn more about [available VM sizes](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/sizes) to help you make your selection. Then select **Next**.
+
+5. Either select an existing virtual network from the dropdown, or check the **New virtual network** checkbox to enter a name for a new virtual network.
+
+6. Do the same for selecting or creating a subnet and public IP address.
+
+7. If you would like to connect to your VM via Remote Desktop (RDP), check the **Enable RDP inbound port** checkbox. Then select **Next**.
+
+8. Enter your preferred SQL Server settings. The recommendation for testing out this experience is to set SQL connectivity to **Public (internet)**, enter port 1433, and enable SQL authentication with your preferred username and password. Then select **Next**.
+
+9. Review the parameters you've entered and then select **Script to Notebook**.
+
+Once the Notebook opens, you can review the content and the code and make changes if you like. However making changes isn't recommended since it could cause validation errors.
+
+The last step is to select **Run all** to run all cells in the Notebook. Once this completes, you should have a fully created and running:
+
+- An Azure virtual machine
+- A SQL virtual machine
+- A Virtual Network, subnet, and public IP address
+- A network security group and a network interface
+- Access to RDP into the VM
+- Access to a variety of SQL Server manageability features to easily control the Backup schedule, patching schedule, the SQL Server edition and licensing, the storage performance configurations, and much more.
+
+## Next steps
