Configuration Description Version The OceanBase database version. Deployment Mode - 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 - Dual-IDC Deployment: choose 2 zones.
- Multi-IDC Deployment: choose 3 zones.
Compute/Storage Different compute specifications have different storage capacity, which you can select based on your business needs. Choose the number of instances you want to create under the Quantity section.
In the Summary section on the right, confirm the configurations and then proceed to payment to complete the purchase.
After the purchase is completed, you can navigate back to the Instances page to view the creation progress.
