PostgreSQL 16 server on hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for Azure
PostgreSQL Server on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
A production-ready PostgreSQL 16 database server on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, built and hardened for the Azure Marketplace. PostgreSQL is installed from the PostgreSQL Global Development Group repository, enabled as a systemd service, and configured to accept remote connections on first boot.
Who this is for: Developers, DBAs, and platform teams who need a patch-current PostgreSQL VM on Azure with full control over extensions and configuration.
Target industries: SaaS and web backends, geospatial (PostGIS), analytics, financial services, and any workload that depends on a standards-compliant relational database.
Value proposition: Running a secure, patch-current PostgreSQL server on Azure means adding the PGDG repo, installing the engine, and hardening it. This image does that for you:
- PostgreSQL 16 — installed from the official PGDG repository and running as a managed systemd service with remote connectivity configured for application tiers
- Monthly patched & hardened — rebuilt each month from the upstream base with the latest OS security updates; hardened to Microsoft's Azure Marketplace certification standards before any version is published
- Ready to run — the service is installed, enabled, and configured to start on boot, so the VM is productive minutes after deployment instead of after a manual install
- Audit trail per release — build and certification evidence retained for every published image version, available for compliance audits and change-management documentation
Plans available:
- PostgreSQL 16 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS — Gen2 — Trusted Launch-capable Gen2 VM image; free image (standard Azure compute and storage rates apply)
Supported software and integrations: Azure Monitor, Azure Backup, Azure Virtual Network, Azure Private Link, PostGIS, and any PostgreSQL client, ORM, or BI tool.
Recommended deployment: Standard_D2ads_v6 or larger; Premium SSD for the data volume. Deploy into a private subnet and connect over Private Link or VNet peering for production.
