Learn how to order a database or analytics solution in the OVHcloud Control Panel.

Cloud Databases and Analytics* services allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud takes care of the service infrastructure and maintenance.

 

Requirements

 

Instructions

From the OVHcloud Control Panel, navigate to the Databases section by clicking the Public Cloud menu and selecting your Public Cloud project.

Click on the button Create a managed database (click Create a service if your project already contains services.)

Please visit the capabilities page of your selected engine type for detailed information on each plan's properties.

Step 6: Configure your options

Choose your network configuration:

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 ordering process over in that case.

Please follow this guide for detailed instructions.

Step 7: Summary and confirmation

The panel on the right side of the page will display a summary of your order.

Within a few minutes, your new service will be deployed. Messages in the OVHcloud Control Panel will inform you when the service is ready to use.

Continue with the Configure your instance to accept incoming connections guide of your selected engine type available here to configure your service after installation.

Note that the configuration options might be different, depending on the engine type. You will find an example in this repository: https://github.com/ovh/public-cloud-databases-examples.
