   Dataphin Domain Name Settings	Product Endpoint	The endpoint used to access the Dataphin instance. The endpoint cannot be the same as the OpenAPI endpoint or the DataService Studio endpoint. For example, dataphin.yourcompany.com. The endpoint can contain lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.). A hyphen cannot be used alone or consecutively. A hyphen cannot be placed at the beginning or end of the endpoint. The endpoint can be up to 63 characters long.
   	OpenAPI Endpoint	This configuration item is available only when the OpenAPI feature is enabled. This is the endpoint used to access the Dataphin instance through OpenAPI. The endpoint cannot be the same as the product endpoint or the DataService Studio endpoint. For example, dataphin-openapi.yourcompany.com. The naming convention is the same as that for the product endpoint.
   	DataService Studio Endpoint	This configuration item is available only when the DataService Studio feature is enabled. The endpoint that points to the DataService Studio application. The endpoint cannot be the same as the product endpoint or the OpenAPI endpoint. For example, dataphin-dataservice.yourcompany.com. The naming convention is the same as that for the product endpoint.
   	Enable Public Network Access	If you enable this feature, the system automatically creates a pay-by-data-transfer Elastic IP address (EIP) for the Ingress load balancer (LB) instance. After you bind the EIP to the domain name in your local hosts file, you can access the Dataphin instance from outside your office network. If you want to allow access to the Dataphin instance only from your office network, disable this feature.
   Key Configuration	Key Pair Name	The key pair used to log on to the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) machine.
   Network Configuration	Zone 1, Zone 2	All underlying resources of Dataphin are deployed across multiple zones to provide a disaster recovery solution.
   	VPC ID	Select a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in which you want to deploy the Dataphin instance. Select the VPC with caution. You cannot change the VPC after the instance is created.
   	VSwitch ID 1, VSwitch ID 2	Select two vSwitches that belong to the selected VPC.
   	Pod CIDR Block, Service CIDR Block	Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) is one of the underlying resources on which Dataphin depends. When you deploy an ACK cluster, the Flannel network plug-in is used, and you must specify a CIDR block. For more information, see Comparison between Terway and Flannel. The Pod CIDR block and the Service CIDR block are virtual network segments. These CIDR blocks cannot overlap with the vSwitch CIDR block of the VPC or with each other. For example, if the VPC uses the 172.16.0.0/12 CIDR block, you cannot use CIDR blocks such as 172.16.0.0/16 or 172.17.0.0/16 for Kubernetes pods because these CIDR blocks are included in 172.16.0.0/12. The number of reserved IP addresses in the Pod and Service CIDR blocks affects the concurrency of Dataphin nodes. We recommend that you reserve more than 2,048 IP addresses, which means the subnet mask length should not be greater than 21. Select the CIDR blocks with caution because you cannot change them after the instance is created. For more information, see Flannel network mode.
   	Auto-configure NAT Gateway	Allows cluster nodes and applications to access the public network. If you enable this feature and a NAT Gateway already exists in the selected VPC, ACK uses that gateway by default and automatically configures a source network address translation (SNAT) rule. If no NAT Gateway exists in the selected VPC, ACK automatically creates a NAT Gateway and configures an SNAT rule. If you disable this feature, you must ensure that the ACK cluster can access the public network. Dataphin deployment requires public network access to pull images. Otherwise, the deployment may fail.
   Advanced configuration	Application Node Pool Instance Type	Select the appropriate node specifications and quantity based on the application deployment mode. Avoid mixing instance types of different sizes. The supported specifications are 16 VCPU, 128 GiB (ecs.r9i.4xlarge), 16 VCPU, 128 GiB (ecs.r8i.4xlarge), 16 VCPU, 128 GiB (ecs.u2i-c1m8.4xlarge), 16 VCPU, 128 GiB (ecs.r7.4xlarge), 16 VCPU, 128 GiB (ecs.u1-c1m8.4xlarge), and 16 VCPU, 128 GiB (ecs.hfr7.4xlarge). Note The maximum resource requirement for High-availability Mode is 40 vCPUs and 320 GiB of memory. The maximum resource requirement for non-high-availability mode is 20 vCPUs and 160 GiB of memory.
   	Initial Number Of Nodes In The Application Node Pool	Configure the initial number of nodes in the node pool based on the application deployment mode. The recommended number is 3, and the minimum is 2. If the number of nodes is 2, high availability is not guaranteed.
   	Scheduling Node Pool Instance Type	Select an instance type for the node pool that meets your scheduling task requirements. The supported instance types are 24 VCPU, 96 GiB (ecs.g9i.6xlarge), 24 VCPU, 96 GiB (ecs.g8i.6xlarge), 24 VCPU, 96 GiB (ecs.g7.6xlarge), 24 VCPU, 96 GiB (ecs.hfg7.6xlarge), and 24 VCPU, 96 GiB (ecs.hfg6.6xlarge).
   	Initial Number Of Nodes In The Scheduling Node Pool	Configure the initial number of nodes in the node pool based on the number of scheduling tasks required. The recommended number is 2, and the minimum is 1. If the number of nodes is 1, high availability is not guaranteed.
   	Number Of Replicas For Dataphin Application Deployment	Before increasing the number of replicas, ensure that the application node pool has sufficient resources. The default value is 2.
   	PostgreSQL Specifications	Select a specification to set the maximum number of connections for the PostgreSQL database. The supported specifications are 4 VCPU, 16 GiB (1,600 Maximum Connections), 8 VCPU, 16 GiB (1,600 Maximum Connections), and 16 VCPU, 32 GiB (3,200 Maximum Connections).
   	Initial Disk Size Of The PostgreSQL Database (GB)	This is mainly used to store scheduling instances and business metadata. The default size is 400 GB. You can configure a storage space between 200 GB and 400 GB, with an increment of 5 GB.
