Effective time of an elastic plan

After you create or modify an elastic plan, the system determines the effective time of the plan based on the time when the plan is created or modified. The following table describes the effective time rules of the elastic plan.

Create an elastic plan

1. Log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console by your Alibaba Cloud account.
2. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region where clusters reside.
3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
4. On the V3.0 Clusters tab, click the target Cluster ID.
5. In the left-side navigation pane, click Resource Elastic Plans.
6. On the Resource Elastic Plans tab of the Resource Elastic Plans page, click Create Plan in the upper-right corner.
   
7. In the Create Resource Elastic Plan panel, configure the parameters described in the following table.

   Table 1. Parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Plan Name	Required. The name of the elastic plan. The name must meet the following requirements: The name is 2 to 30 characters in length. The name contains only letters, digits, and underscores (_).
   Resource Group	Required. The resource pool to which to bind the elastic plan. Each elastic plan must be bound to a resource pool. If the specified resource pool is released, the elastic plan is bound to the default resource pool named USER_DEFAULT. For more information about resource pools, see Resource pool overview and Manage resource pools.
   Start Date	Optional. The date on which to start the execution of the elastic plan.
   End Date	Optional. The date on which to end the execution of the elastic plan.
   Scale-out Time	Required. The start time of the scale-up. The system ensures that the required computing resources are scaled up at the specified time. Select the time on the hour. Note If multiple elastic plans are executed within the same day, we recommend that you set the interval between elastic plans to at least 1 hour.
   Restoration Time	Required. The end time of the scale-up. The system ensures that the computing resources are scaled back at the specified time. Select the time on the hour.
   Scale-out Resource	Required. The specifications of resources to be scaled up. The specifications of resources to be scaled up can be up to eight times the current cluster specifications. For example, if the current specifications are 32 cores and 128 GB of memory, you can select the maximum resource specifications of 256 cores and 1,024 GB of memory. The total cluster specifications after the scale-up are 288 cores and 1,125 GB of memory.
   Period Settings	The days of the week on which to execute the elastic plan. You can select one or more days.
   Enabled	Specifies whether to enable the elastic plan. By default, the elastic plan is enabled. For more information about the effective time of an elastic plan, see the "Effective time of an elastic plan" section of this topic.
