That's the top level overview, and as it's 2025 all the high-level,
glossy material has to mention AI.

"Is being retired in March 2025" - best to be ignored now, it's basically
gone.

HA with PostgreSQL is not that much of an headache (unless you invest
extra effort and code, the "normal" replication is really just
replication).
Anyways, HA is optional with the Flexible Server, as I read the
quickstart guide:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/flexible-server/quickstart-create-server
(See table under item 8).

"Single Server" sure was a source of unhappiness :)
