Description¶

Azure SQL Server Accessibility should be set to a minimal address range to grant the principle of least privileges, which means the difference between the values of the 'end_ip_address' and 'start_ip_address' must be less than 256. Additionally, both ips must be different from '0.0.0.0'.
