Learn how to adjust the flavor of your Managed Database (also called Cloud Database) cluster according to your needs.
How to upgrade your flavor
This option is available through the OVHcloud API and Control Panel.
Requirements
- access to your OVHcloud Control Panel or the API
- a Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
Instructions
To adjust the flavor of your cluster, log in to the OVHcloud Control Panel and select the Public Cloud tab from the top menu. In the left-hand navigation menu, under Databases & Analytics, click Databases in the left navigation bar. Then select your engine.
In the General information tab, look at the Cluster overview panel. Toward the bottom, under Service plan, click Upgrade your node template →.
Adjust the flavor of your cluster. You can also view the hourly and monthly costs.
How to downgrade your flavor
This option is currently available via the OVHcloud API.
Requirements
- access to the OVHcloud API (create your credentials by consulting this guide)
- a Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
Instructions
To be able to downgrade your flavor, you must have a threshold of 20% between your current disk space used (base storage + additional storage) and the maximum storage space allowed for the flavor.
For instance, if you have a PostgreSQL cluster with db1-15 as the flavor and less than 384 GB (80% of 480GB) of disk space used, you can decrease the flavor to db1-7 on that endpoint:
PUT /cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/postgresql/{clusterId}
