1.2 Creating a DBaaS

Log in to Aruba Cloud Management Platform;
from the menu, select PUBLIC CLOUD > Database Foundation;
in the DBaaS area, select Go to your DBaaS;
in the Database as a Service section, select Create DBaaS;
the Create your DBaaS procedure requires the following information:
- 1. Details
  - assign a name to the DBaaS (follow the naming rules);
  - you can associate one or more tags with the DBaaS (follow the tagging rules);
  - you must assign the DBaaS to a project. If no selection is made, the system will assign the DBaaS to the default project;
  - select Next;
- 2. Location
  - select the region and zone in which to activate the DBaaS (the selection cannot be changed after creation);
  - select Next;
- 3. Engine
  - select the engine and choose a version from those available;
  - select Next;
- 4. Size
  - select a size for the DBaaS;
  - select Next;
- 5. Storage
  - select the amount of storage to associate with the database;
  - choose whether to leave the Create Autoscaling rule option enabled and, if so, configure the parameters;
  - select Next;
- 6. Networking
  - you must associate the DBaaS you are creating with a VPC Network:
    - if you have no VPC Networks, the section is disabled and a VPC Network will be created automatically;
    - if you have one or more VPC Networks, the Automatic configuration ON option will be enabled and the default VPC Network will be selected. You can disable the option to select a different VPC Network by choosing:
      - one of the available VPC Networks;
      - one of the available Subnets with DHCP enabled;
      - one of the available Security Groups;
  - choose whether to associate an Elastic IP with the DBaaS:
    - you can buy a new Elastic IP or select one of the available Elastic IPs. If you do not associate an Elastic IP, to connect to the database you will need to create a Cloud Server in the same project to act as a bridge machine;
- 7. Price plan
