TiDB Cloud Dedicated Now in Public Preview on Microsoft Azure: Distributed SQL, Anywhere You Need It

We’re excited to announce that TiDB Cloud Dedicated is now available on Microsoft Azure, in public preview. With this launch, TiDB Cloud now runs on all three major public cloud platforms—AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure—giving you greater flexibility to deploy distributed SQL where it best fits your strategy.

For enterprise teams already invested in Azure, this launch removes a critical blocker: you can now adopt TiDB Cloud’s powerful distributed architecture without stepping outside your security, compliance, or procurement frameworks.

Available Now in Key Azure Regions

TiDB Cloud Dedicated launches today in three high-impact regions, with more coming soon:

• East US 2
• Japan East
• Southeast Asia

These regions extend our footprint to over 30 global deployment options across all major clouds—helping you reduce latency, meet regional data requirements, and bring scalable SQL workloads closer to your users.

Enterprise-Grade Distributed SQL, Natively Integrated with Azure

For many organizations, Azure isn’t just a cloud provider—it’s a strategic foundation. Enterprises in finance, healthcare, government, and other regulated sectors rely on Azure for its compliance posture, operational maturity, and integration across the Microsoft ecosystem.

With TiDB Cloud Dedicated now available on Azure, you don’t have to compromise between your cloud strategy and your data infrastructure. You get the full power of distributed SQL—elastic scale, high availability, real-time performance—delivered as a fully managed service that fits cleanly into your existing Azure architecture.

TiDB Cloud has already proven itself in the real world. Across global customers—including a leading retail company running TiDB Cloud Dedicated clusters to scale its SaaS platform—the platform consistently delivers the scale and reliability modern enterprises demand. Now, those same architectural advantages are available on Azure.

No workarounds. No exceptions. Just a direct path to modern, cloud-native data infrastructure—on the platform your business already trusts.
