Docs on how to create firewall rule that allows all Azure services missing info

[vmagelo]

I'm looking for equivalent of setting in Portal "allow all Azure Services". Is it just "0.0.0.0" or something different? I'm having trouble figuring it out.

Following the example az postgres flexible-server firewall-rule create --resource-group testGroup --name testserver --start-ip-address 0.0.0.0

give "expected string or bytes-like object" and doesn't configure the firewall.

Then I remembered doing it with Single server and tried

az postgres flexible-server firewall-rule create --resource-group testGroup --name testserver --start-ip-address 0.0.0.0 --rule-name AllowAllWindowsAzureIps

This should be documented. Is the name "AllowAllWindowsAzureIps" specific or any name would do?

Okay, thanks for your reply. First of all, if I'm looking at update command, and maybe as a user I won't think to look at create command. Or, if create command as more info/example, put link from one to the other?

Second, I tried this and my point was that I think the special text "AllowAllWindowsAzureIps" for rule-name is needed or else it just doesn't work. If you tried it and see that it works, then I'll consider it my error. Thanks!

@vmagelo Rule names are not special text, its usedefined texts (see below).
