+> **Azure Database for MySQL - Single Server is on the retirement path** and is scheduled for retirement by **September 16, 2024**.
 
 As part of this retirement, we'll no longer support creating new Single Server instances from the Azure portal beginning **January 16, 2023** and Azure CLI beginning **March 19, 2024**. If you still need to create Single Server instances to meet business continuity needs, raise an Azure support ticket. You'll still be able to create read replicas and perform restores (PITR and geo-restore) for your existing single server instance and this will continue to be supported until the sunset date of **September 16, 2024**.

    - [Flexible Server](flexible-server/overview.md) is a fully managed production-ready database service designed for more granular control and flexibility over database management functions and configuration settings. The flexible server architecture allows users to opt for high availability within a single availability zone and across multiple availability zones. Flexible servers provide better cost optimization controls with the ability to stop/start the server and burstable compute tier, ideal for workloads that don't need full compute capacity continuously. Flexible Server also supports reserved instances allowing you to save up to 63% cost, which is ideal for production workloads with predictable compute capacity requirements. The service supports the community version of MySQL 5.7 and 8.0. The service is generally available today in various [Azure regions](flexible-server/overview.md#azure-regions). Flexible servers are best suited for all new developments and migration of production workloads to Azure Database for MySQL service.
 
-   - [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.
-
 - **MySQL on Azure VMs**. This option falls into the industry category of IaaS. With this service, you can run MySQL Server inside a managed virtual machine on the Azure cloud platform. You can install all recent versions and editions of MySQL on a virtual machine.
