-# Create and manage Azure Database for MariaDB server using Azure portal
-This topic describes how you can quickly create a new Azure Database for MariaDB server. It also includes information about how to manage the server by using the Azure portal. Server management includes viewing server details and databases, resetting the password, scaling resources, and deleting the server.
+# Manage an Azure Database for MariaDB server using the Azure portal
+This article shows you how to manage your Azure Database for MariaDB servers. Management tasks include compute and storage scaling, admin password reset, and viewing server details.
 
-## Log in to the Azure portal
-Log in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
+## Sign in
+Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
 
-## Create an Azure Database for MariaDB server
-Follow these steps to create an Azure Database for MariaDB server named “mydemoserver.”
+## Create a server
+Visit the [quickstart](quickstart-create-mariadb-server-database-using-azure-portal.md) to learn how to create and get started with an Azure Database for MariaDB server.
 
-1. Click the **Create a resource** button located in the upper left-hand corner of the Azure portal.
+## Scale compute and storage
 
-2. On the New page, select **Databases**, and then on Databases page, select **Azure Database for MariaDB**.
+After server creation you can scale between the General Purpose and Memory Optimized tiers as your needs change. You can also scale compute and memory by increasing or decreasing vCores. Storage can be scaled up (however, you cannot scale storage down).
 
-    > An Azure Database for MariaDB server is created with a defined set of [compute and storage](./concepts-pricing-tiers.md) resources. The database is created within an Azure resource group and in an Azure Database for MariaDB server.
+### Scale between General Purpose and Memory Optimized tiers
 
-   ![create-new-server](./media/howto-create-manage-server-portal/create-new-server.png)
+You can scale from General Purpose to Memory Optimized and vice-versa. Changing to and from the Basic tier after server creation is not supported. 
 
-3. Fill out the Azure Database for MariaDB form by using the following information:
+1. Select your server in the Azure portal. Select **Pricing tier**, located in the **Settings** section.
 
-    | **Form Field** | **Field Description** |
-    |----------------|-----------------------|
-    | *Server name* | mydemoserver (server name is globally unique) |
-    | *Subscription* | mysubscription (select from the drop-down menu) |
-    | *Resource group* | myresourcegroup (create a new resource group or use an existing one) |
-    | *Select source* | Blank (create a blank MariaDB server) |
-    | *Server admin login* | myadmin (setup admin account name) |
-    | *Password* | set admin account password |
-    | *Confirm password* | confirm admin account password |
-    | *Location* | Southeast Asia (select between North Europe and West US) |
-    | *Version* | 10.3 (choose Azure Database for MariaDB server version) |
+2. Select **General Purpose** or **Memory Optimized**, depending on what you are scaling to.

+    ![change-pricing-tier](./media/howto-create-manage-server-portal/change-pricing-tier.png)
 
-4. Click **Configure Server** to specify the service tier and performance level for your new server. Select the **General Purpose** tab. *Gen 5*, *4 vCores*, *100 GB*, and *7 days* are the default values for **Compute Generation**, **vCore**, **Storage**, and **Backup Retention Period**. You can leave those sliders as it is. To enable your server backups in geo-redundant storage select **Geographically Redundant** from the **Backup Redundancy Options**.
+    > [!NOTE]
+    > Changing tiers causes a server restart.
 
-   ![create-server-pricing-tier](./media/howto-create-manage-server-portal/create-server-pricing-tier.png)
+4. Select **OK** to save changes.
 
-5. Click **Review + Create** to go to the review screen and verify all the details. Click **Create** to provision the server. Provisioning takes a few minutes.
 
-    > Select the **Pin to dashboard** option to allow easy tracking of your deployments.
+### Scale vCores up or down
