This topic provides the instructions on creating an instance through OceanBase Cloud official website.
Procedure
Open the OceanBase Cloud official website, and click Get Started to navigate to the OceanBase Cloud console.
Click Sign Up to create your OceanBase Cloud account if you do not have one. If you already signed up for one, you can skip this step.
On the Instances page, click Create Instance.
On the Create Instance page, select the instance type as Dedicated (Transactional).
Select your cloud vendor and the deployment region. OceanBase Cloud now supports to select AWS, Google Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud as the cloud vendor.
Select your instance specifications.
Parameter Description Instance Name Set the instance name. The name must be 2 to 64 characters in length and can contain only Chinese characters, digits, uppercase and lowercase letters, underscores, and hyphens. Storage Architecture - Unified Storage & Compute: The computing resources and data storage are in the same node. Data is locally processed on the computing node. This reduces the overheads of data transmission and improves the computing efficiency. The architecture is simple and easy to maintain.
- Separated Storage & Compute: This cloud-native architecture separates storage and computing in an instance by using multiple computing nodes and shared storage technology. The separated layers of computing and storage resources allow independent scaling and improve cost-effectiveness and flexibility.
Note
At present, only instances purchased through Alibaba Cloud and Huawei Cloud support separated storage and compute. The database version is V4.3.5.
Version The version of OceanBase Database. Deployment Mode - Single-IDC Deployment: All nodes are located within the same zone. This deployment supports both two-node and three-node configurations within a single IDC. If you require this setup, please contact OceanBase technical support.
- Dual-IDC Deployment: Two nodes are deployed across two zones, with a third node deployed in a different zone solely for log synchronization. This node does not provide read/write services. Dual-IDC deployment offers the same availability as multi-IDC deployment but with significantly improved cost efficiency. The dual-IDC deployment option is supported in versions 4.1.0.0 and later.
- Multi-IDC Deployment: Primary and standby nodes are located in different zones, enabling disaster recovery across zones. This deployment comes at no additional cost and by default, all three zones are selected.
Zone Select the target zone. You can select the zone with the lowest network latency by using View Network Latency. - Single-IDC deployment: Select one zone.
- Dual-IDC deployment: Select two zones.
- Multi-IDC deployment: Select three zones.
Compute Select the compute specification as needed. Storage Disk Type EPL0 and EPL1 are supported. Storage The storage specifications vary by compute specifications. Select the storage specification as needed. For more information, see Instance billing. Maximum IOPS per Node The maximum IOPS for each node is calculated based on the compute specification and storage type and specification. The actual available IOPS is subject to the result displayed on the OceanBase Cloud console. Note
At present, only instances purchased through Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and AWS support viewing IOPS information.
Specify the number of instances you want to create in the Quantity section.
In the Summary section on the right, review the configurations and then click In the Summary section on the right, confirm the configurations and then click Create Instance. to complete the purchase.
After the creation is completed, you can navigate back to the Instances page to view the creation progress.
