   Parameter	Description
   ｜Storage Architecture	All-in-one storage and computing
   Database Version	The version of OceanBase Database. Instances created through the Azure Marketplace support only OceanBase V4.3.5.
   Deployment Mode	Dual-IDC Deployment: Two nodes are deployed in two zones, and a third node is deployed in another zone, used only for log synchronization and not providing read/write services. Dual-IDC deployment provides 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 capability. 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.

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

6. In the Summary section on the right, confirm the configuration and click Create Instance to complete the payment and finalize the purchase.

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