- - [Single Server](single-server/single-server-overview.md) is a fully managed database service designed for minimal customization. The single server platform is designed to handle most database management functions such as patching, backups, high availability, and security with minimal user configuration and control. The architecture is optimized for built-in high availability with 99.99% availability in a single availability zone. It supports the community version of MySQL 5.6 (retired), 5.7, and 8.0. The service is generally available today in various [Azure regions](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/). Single servers are best-suited **only for existing applications already leveraging single servers**. It's recommended to choose Flexible Server for all new developments or migrations.
