| Clone Source Type |
Select Backup Timepoint.
|
| Backup Timepoint |
The point in time to which you want to restore data.
Note The time range within which data can be restored to a specified point in time varies
based on the Log Retention Period (Days) parameter in the backup settings. The default time range is 7 days.
|
| Region |
Select the region to which the data is to be restored.
Note
- Cross-region backup can be used to restore data to an instance in the source or destination
region.
- If cross-region backup is not enabled, the region of the new cluster is the same as
that of the original cluster and does not need to be specified.
|
| Primary Zone |
Select the primary zone where you want to deploy the new cluster.
Note In regions that have two or more zones, PolarDB automatically replicates data to the secondary zones for disaster recovery.
|
| Network Type |
This parameter is automatically set to VPC. You do not need to change this value.
|
| VPC |
Select a VPC and a vSwitch for the new cluster. We recommend that you select the same VPC and vSwitch that are
connected to the original cluster.
Note Make sure that the PolarDB cluster is created in the same VPC as the ECS instance to which you want to connect.
Otherwise, the cluster and the ECS instance cannot communicate over the internal network
to achieve optimal performance.
|
| vSwitch |
| Compatibility |
This parameter is automatically set to the value of Compatibility that is specified for the original cluster. You do not need to change this value.
For example, if the value of Compatibility that is specified for the original cluster is MySQL 8.0, Compatibility is automatically set to MySQL 8.0 for the new cluster. The value of MySQL 8.0 specifies that the cluster is fully compatible
with MySQL 8.0.
|
| Edition |
This parameter is automatically set to the edition of the original cluster. You do not need to change this value.
For example, if the edition of the original cluster is Cluster (2 to 16 Nodes) (Recommended), the edition of the new cluster is automatically set to Cluster (2 to 16 Nodes) (Recommended). For more information, see Overview.
|
| Specification Type |
Select General-purpose or Dedicated for PolarDB for MySQL Cluster Edition. Valid values:
- Dedicated: Computing resources such as CPUs that are allocated to each cluster are exclusive
to the cluster. This improves the stability and reliability.
- General-purpose: Idle computing resources such as CPUs are shared among clusters on the same server
for cost-effectiveness.
For more information about the comparison between the types of specifications, see
Comparison between general-purpose and dedicated compute nodes.
Note This parameter is available only if the edition of the original cluster is Cluster (2 to 16 Nodes) (Recommended). The Single Node (Starter) do not support this parameter.
|
| Node Specification |
Select a node specification. The maximum storage and performance of a cluster vary based on the node specification.
For more information, see Specifications of compute nodes.
Note We recommend that you select a node specification that is the same or higher than the node specification of the original cluster. This
ensures that the new cluster runs as expected.
|
| Nodes |
- If the edition of the original cluster is Cluster (2 to 16 Nodes) (Recommended), the number of nodes is automatically set to 2 for the new cluster. You do not need to change this value.
Note By default, a new cluster of the Cluster Edition contains one primary node and one read-only node. After the new cluster is created,
you can add only read-only nodes to the new cluster. Each cluster can contain a maximum
of 15 read-only nodes. For more information, see Add or remove read-only nodes.
- If the edition of the original cluster is Single Node (Starter), the number of nodes is automatically set to 1 for the new cluster. You do not need to change this value.
|
| PolarProxy |
PolarDB supports Standard Enterprise Edition and Dedicated Enterprise Edition database proxy types.
- Standard Enterprise Edition: If your cluster is General-purpose, you can select this database proxy type, which shares CPU resources with smart elastic
scaling within seconds provided based on business loads.
- Dedicated Enterprise Edition: If your cluster is Dedicated, you can select this database proxy type, which occupies all allocated CPU resources
and provides better stability.
Compared with the previous free edition of PolarProxy, PolarProxy Enterprise Edition
provides additional advanced features such as the multi-primary architecture, compute
nodes with elastic scaling within seconds, and proxy throttling protection. For more
information, see Overview.
Note At present, you can use PolarProxy Enterprise Edition free of charge. In the future,
when to charge the fees is to be determined.
|
| Storage type |
PolarDB supports the High-performance Edition and Standard Edition storage types.
- High-performance Edition: the storage type supported by historical versions of PolarDB. This was the default
storage type for PolarDB clusters purchased before June 7, 2022. It delivers higher
performance, reliability and availability. This storage type is also called PSL5.
- Standard Edition: a new storage type for PolarDB. Standard Edition uses the Smart-SSD technology developed in-house by Alibaba Cloud to compress and decompress data at
the SSD disk level. This storage type can minimize the storage costs of data while
maintaining a high disk performance. This storage type is also called PSL4.
Note The storage type of existing clusters cannot be changed to Standard Edition. To use
Standard Edition, we recommend that you purchase a new cluster, set the storage type
to Standard Edition, and then migrate data to the new cluster.
|
| Storage Cost |
You do not need to specify the required storage when you purchase the PolarDB cluster. You are charged for storage usage on an hourly basis. In addition, you can
purchase storage plans based on your business requirements. For more information,
see Purchase a storage plan.
|
| Cluster Name |
The name of the cluster. The name must meet the following requirements:
- It cannot start with
http:// or https://.
- It must be 2 to 256 characters in length.
If you do not configure this parameter, the system automatically generates a cluster
name. You can change the name after the cluster is created.
|
| Purchase Plan |
Select a purchase plan for the new cluster.
Note This parameter is available only if Billing Method is set to Subscription.
|
| Number |
Select the number of clusters that you want to purchase.
