Step 2: Create an OceanBase Cloud instance

1. After logging in to the OceanBase Cloud console, in the Link OceanBase Cloud Organization to Your GCP Billing Account dialog box that appears, select the checkbox at the bottom, and then click OK to link your GCP account to your OceanBase Cloud account.

   

2. On the Instances page of the OceanBase Cloud console, click Create Instance.

3. On the Create Instance page, select Dedicated (Transactional) as Instance Type.

   

4. Select a deployment region.

5. Configure the instance specifications.

   Parameter	Description
   Version	The version of OceanBase Database.
   Deployment Mode	Dual-IDC Deployment: Two nodes are deployed in two zones, and the third node is deployed in another zone, used only for log synchronization and not providing read/write services. Dual-IDC deployment offers the same high availability as multi-IDC deployment while significantly improving cost-effectiveness. This deployment mode applies to versions 4.1.0.0 and later. Multi-IDC Deployment: Primary and standby nodes are deployed in different zones, enabling cross-zone disaster recovery. This deployment incurs no additional cost and selects all three zones by default.
   Zone	Dual-IDC Deployment: Select 2 zones. Multi-IDC Deployment: Select 3 zones.
   Compute/Storage	Different compute specifications support different storage capacities; choose based on your business needs.

6. In the Quantity section, select the number of instances you want to create.

7. In the Summary section on the right, confirm the configuration, then complete the payment to finalize the purchase.

   After the purchase is complete, you can return to the Instances page to view the creation progress.
