Create a MyBase MySQL instance

Procedure

1. Log on to the ApsaraDB for MyBase console.

2. In the upper-left corner of the page, select a region.

3. In the navigation pane on the left, click Cluster List. In the Actions column of the target dedicated cluster, click Details.

4. In the navigation pane on the left, click Instances, and then click Create Instance.

5. Set the following parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   Dedicated Cluster	Select the destination dedicated cluster.
   Database Type	The database type of the instance is MySQL. This parameter cannot be changed.
   Current Version	The database version of the instance.
   Storage Engine	The value is InnoDB. This parameter is available only when you select version 8.0.
   Edition	The instance edition. For more information about instance editions, see Product editions. Note The High-availability Edition is supported for instances that run MySQL 8.0, 5.7, and 5.6.
   Parameter Template	The parameter template for the instance. Note This parameter is available only when you set Edition to High-availability Edition.
   Time Zone	The time zone of the instance.
   Case-sensitive Table Names	Specifies whether table names are case-sensitive.
   Storage Type	The storage class of the instance. Note If you select High-availability Edition for the instance edition, the storage class supports Local SSD and Enterprise SSD. If you select enterprise SSD (ESSD), check Disk Encryption to encrypt the disk and protect your data. For more information, see Disk Encryption. If you select ESSD, Auto-extend Storage Space is checked by default. You can set the trigger conditions and the maximum size for auto scaling. When triggered, the system automatically increases the storage space by 5 GB or 15% of the current storage space, whichever is greater.
   Instance Type	The instance type.
   Storage Capacity	The storage capacity of the instance. If you set the instance edition to High-availability Edition, you can set the Auto Storage Expansion parameter.
   Auto Storage Expansion	Specifies whether to enable automatic storage expansion for the primary instance. Enabled: Select the Auto Storage Expansion check box and set the Available Storage and Auto Expansion Upper Limit parameters. Note Automatic storage expansion is triggered if the available storage is less than or equal to the specified value. Disabled: Clear the Auto Storage Expansion check box. Note This parameter is available only when you set Edition to High-availability Edition.
   Deployment Policy	The supported deployment policies are Default Policy and Specify Host. Note The default policy is balanced distribution. Instances are preferentially deployed on hosts with no allocated resources or fewer allocated resources. If you select Specify Host, you must manually select the hosts on which to deploy the instance.
   Network Settings VPC Zone VSwitch	The network configuration of the instance. The VPC of the cluster where the instance resides is used by default. The zones where the hosts in the instance's cluster are located. The vSwitch to which the host belongs. If no vSwitch is available, click Create vSwitch below.
   Billing Method	Pay-as-you-go. Note If your instance is deployed on a host that uses cloud disks, the host fee includes only computing costs. You must pay for the storage capacity of the cloud disks when you create the instance. A storage plan is a subscription resource plan for storage capacity. It can be used to offset pay-as-you-go storage capacity bills in the same region. You can purchase a storage plan to reduce storage costs.

6. Click Create Now.

   Note

   In the navigation pane on the left, click Instance List > MySQL to view the creation progress and status of the instance.
