This topic describes the environment types supported by Data Management Service (DMS) and how to change the environment type of an instance.
Usage notes
We recommend that you select the environment type of an instance based on the actual environment of the database registered as the instance.
In security rules, an instance in the Security Collaboration mode requires no approval and less control in the test environment by default. However, the instance requires strict control in the production environment by default. You can modify the approval and control rules in a specific control mode as required. For more information about how to manage control modes, see Change the control mode of an instance.
Environment types
DMS supports eight types of environments that can be divided into two categories: offline and online. The following table lists the environment types. You can change the environment types of an instance as required.
Category | Environment type | Environment ID |
Offline | Development | dev |
Test | test | |
SIT | sit | |
UAT | uat | |
Stress testing | pet | |
STAG | stag | |
Online | Production | product |
