Getting started with Public Cloud Databases
Find out how to set up your managed database service in the OVHcloud Control Panel
Last updated 1st February 2022
Objective
OVHcloud Databases as-a-service (DBaaS) allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud takes care of the database infrastructure and maintenance.
This guide explains how to order a database solution in the OVHcloud Control Panel.
Requirements
- Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel
- A Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
Instructions
Subscribing to the service
Log in to your OVHcloud Control Panel and switch to the Public Cloud section. After selecting your Public Cloud project, click on Databases in the left-hand navigation bar under Storage.
Click on the button Create a database instance. (Create a service if your project already contains databases.)
Step 1: Select your database type
Click on the type of database you want to use and then select the version to install from the respective drop-down menu. Click on Next to continue.
Step 2: Select a solution
In this step, choose an appropriate service plan. You will be able to upgrade the plan after creation.
Please visit the capabilities page of your selected database type for detailed information on each plan's properties.
Click on Next to continue.
Step 3: Select a location
Choose the geographical region of the data centre in which your database will be hosted.
Click on Next to continue.
Step 4: Configure database nodes
You can increase the number of nodes and choose the node model in this step. The initial and maximum numbers of nodes depends on the solution chosen in step 2.
Please visit the capabilities page of your selected database type for detailed information on the hardware resources and other properties of the database installation.
Take note of the pricing information and click on Next to continue.
Step 5: Configure your options
You can name your database in this step and decide to attach a private network.
Connecting a private network (optional)
If you already have a private subnet available, check the box Private and select it from the drop-down menu. Note that this option might not be available for the selected service type.
You can be forwarded to create a private network or subnet by clicking on the respective links. You will have to start the database order process anew in that case.
Please follow this guide for detailed instructions.
Step 6: Summary and confirmation
The final section will display a summary of your order as well as the API equivalent of creating this database instance with the OVHcloud API.
Within a few minutes your new database service will be deployed. Messages in the OVHcloud Control Panel will inform you when the database is ready to use.
Continue with the Database Management guide to configure your service after installation.
Note that the configuration options might be different, depending on the database type.
For security reasons the default network configuration doesn't allow any incoming connections. It is thus critical you authorise the suitable IP addresses in order to successfully access your database.
