The Memcache management console is a web application used for managing Memcache instances. You can perform operations such as instance creation, network settings, instance management, and password settings through the intuitive user interface of the console.
Prerequisites
Log on to the Memcache management console using an Alibaba Cloud account. If you do not have an Alibaba Cloud account, please click Register.
Console overview
Console home page
For all types of Memcache instances, the interface information on the console home page is the same.
Log on to the Memcache management console and go to the Instance list page, as shown in the following figure (for reference only, please refer to the actual interface).

The Instance list page displays information such as Instance ID, Status, Used memory and quota, Zone, Instance type, Creation time, Billing method, and Network type.
Note: The used memory and quota information is an offline summary compiled by the underlying system based on collected information, so there is a time delay of about 10 minutes.
Maintenance window
You can modify the maintenance window on the Instance information page. Alibaba Cloud will perform production maintenance on the instance during the maintenance window. Transient connections may occur during maintenance. It is recommended that you choose a low-peak period for business as the maintenance window.
