This topic describes how to adjust the number of dedicated proxies on an ApsaraDB
RDS for MySQL instance based on monitoring data and business planning.
Precautions
The adjustment causes a transient connection error on your application. Make sure
that your application is configured to automatically reconnect to your RDS instance.
Procedure
- Visit the RDS instance list, select a region above, and click the target instance ID.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Database Proxy.
- In the Proxy Instance section of the Proxy Service tab, modify the number to the right
of the Instances Associated parameter and then click Apply to the right of the Adjustment Plan parameter
Note We recommend that you specify the number of dedicated proxies as the rounded-up integer
of the total number of CPU cores for your RDS instance and its read-only RDS instances
divided by 8. A maximum of 60 dedicated proxies are supported.
For example, if your RDS instance has eight CPU cores and its read-only RDS instances
have four CPU cores, the recommended number of dedicated proxies is 2 based on the
following calculation: (8 + 4)/8 = 1.5 (rounded up to 2).

- Set the Applied At parameter and click OK.
