If you have the Organization Owner role, you can create a {{{ .premium }}} instance as follows:
-
In the TiDB Cloud console, navigate to the My TiDB page, and then click Create Resource in the upper-right corner.
-
On the Create Resource page, select Premium as your plan.
-
Enter a name for your {{{ .premium }}} instance, and then choose a cloud provider and a region where you want to host your instance.
-
(Optional) To group this {{{ .premium }}} instance in a project for management, click Group Your Instance in a Project, and then select the target project for the instance. If there is no project in your organization, you can create one by clicking Create a Project.
-
In the Capacity area, set the maximum number of the Request Capacity Units (RCUs) for your instance.
RCUs represent the compute resources provisioned for your workload. TiDB Cloud automatically scales your instance within this range based on demand.
Note:
You will be billed for the Minimum Billing RCU shown below the maximum number of RCUs, even if your actual usage is lower. The maximum RCU value must be set in increments of 100.
-
For {{{ .premium }}} instances, only regional high availability is enabled, and it is not configurable. For more information, see High Availability.
-
Click Create.
The instance creation process begins. If this is your first instance in the selected region, provisioning typically takes about 30 minutes. If the selected region already has existing instances, the process is faster and usually completes within about 1 minute.
After your instance is created, follow the instructions in Connect to TiDB Cloud via Public Endpoint to create a password for your instance.
Note:
If you do not set a password, you cannot connect to the instance.
