Creating a Database

1. Click on the "Create Database" button on the 'Core Infrastructure > Databases' page.

2. Select your desired database type - relational or NoSQL database.

3. Select your DB engine and version.

4. Choose a suitable configuration from the available options, depending on your use case. Each configuration comes with specific compute specs and minimum storage (Storage charges are over and above the configuration price).

5. You can increase the storage to be configured, from the 'Select Storage' section. You can also increase storage after deployment.

6. You can add additional replicas to maintain high availability and automatic failover for your database. The replica configurations differ between DB engines, and incur additional charges.

7. Enter your DB and Network details such as DB name, VPC and Subnet.

8. Optionally, you can also create a backup policy for your database. Backups are associated with Object Storage buckets, and are billed within the Object Storage section only.

Please ensure you have a minimum credit balance of Rs 500, in order to create a new database. Additionally if the credit balance goes below 0, the database is allowed to use upto Rs 1,500 worth of credits, after which the instance will be deleted. It's recommended to create backup policies to avoid data loss in such cases.
