DataWorks:Create and use an exclusive resource group for DataService Studio

Last Updated:Sep 07, 2023

You can purchase exclusive resource groups for DataService Studio with appropriate specifications based on your business requirements to ensure highly concurrent, frequent API calls. This topic describes the process from the purchase of an exclusive resource group for DataService Studio to the use of the resource group.

Prerequisites

  • You are familiar with the performance and billing of an exclusive resource group for DataService Studio with specific specifications. The performance of an exclusive resource group for DataService Studio is measured based on the queries per second (QPS). We recommend that you determine the specifications and subscription duration based on your business requirements before you purchase an exclusive resource group for DataService Studio. For more information, see Billing of exclusive resource groups for DataService Studio (subscription).

  • You are familiar with the network configuration requirements of an exclusive resource group for DataService Studio. When you purchase an exclusive resource group for DataService Studio, you need to associate the resource group with a virtual private cloud (VPC) that can connect to your data source and a vSwitch in the VPC. This way, the system adds a route that points to the CIDR block of the VPC for the exclusive resource group. This ensures that the exclusive resource group can access your data source over the VPC. For information about how to view the network environment in which your data source is deployed, see How do I view the network environment of a data source?

  • You are familiar with solutions for network connectivity between exclusive resource groups for DataService Studio and data sources that are deployed in different network environments. When you make API calls, interactions with data sources that are deployed in different network environments may be required. For more information about network connectivity solutions, see Configure network connectivity.

Limits

Exclusive resource groups for DataService Studio are available only in the China (Shanghai) region.

Exclusive resource groups for DataService Studio can access data sources that are deployed on the Internet, in Alibaba Cloud VPCs, or in data centers. You must add the address information used by your exclusive resource group for Data Service Studio to the IP address whitelist of your data source. For more information, see Configure network connectivity.

Test the network connectivity

After you complete the preceding network configuration, you need to test the network connectivity between the resource group and your data source by performing the following operations:

  1. Go to the Data Source page.

    1. Log on to the DataWorks console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Management Center. On the page that appears, select the desired workspace from the drop-down list and click Go to Management Center.
