How to Install TimescaleDB on Azure

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on installing TimescaleDB, a time-series database built on PostgreSQL, on Microsoft Azure. The process involves creating an Azure account and setting up a VM instance with Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS. Once the VM is deployed, you can connect to it using SSH and install TimescaleDB by adding its PPA and running apt commands. After installation, configure PostgreSQL by modifying its configuration file and restarting the service. Finally, access PostgreSQL, create a database, initialize the TimescaleDB extension, create a hypertable, insert data, and query it to ensure everything is working correctly. The guide also suggests exploring more advanced tutorials and joining their Slack community or checking out their GitHub repository for further assistance.
