Aiven brings easy, powerful hosted databases to Microsoft Azure

We are proud to announce that Aiven is now available in the Microsoft Azure cloud!

The services available initially at launch in Microsoft Azure are Aiven for PostgreSQL, Aiven for Redis, Aiven for OpenSearch, Aiven for Apache Kafka, Aiven for InfluxDB and Aiven for Grafana.

Microsoft Azure is a leading global cloud provider and what makes them special is their high number of data centers around the world, currently totaling 30+.

All Aiven services will be available in all generally available Azure regions, bringing nineteen new cloud regions to Aiven and setting the total number of supported data centers to 47, making us the cloud database provider with the widest geographic availability in the world!

The first batch of new cloud regions immediately available are from Azure North America and Europe. Azure Asia and South America regions will follow soon and will be available in the upcoming weeks.

Here's an updated world map showing our supported data center locations. The new Azure regions are the light blue ones:
