Purchase Method

Last updated: 2024-04-25 15:16:56

    Overview

    This document describes how to purchase and configure a TencentDB for Redis instance in the following two ways:
    Console: You can configure the instance parameters and directly make a purchase in the web console.
    API: You can call the CreateInstances API to make a purchase.

    Preparations for purchase

    You have registered a Tencent Cloud account and completed identity verification.
    Click here to complete identity verification.
    You have determined a region and AZ for the instance. For more information, see Regions and AZs.
    You have determined the specification and performance requirements of the instance. For more information, see Memory Edition (Standard Architecture) and Performance.
    You have determined a VPC and security group for the instance. For more information, see Virtual Private Cloud and Configuring Security Group.
    To deploy the instance across multiple AZs in the same region, learn more about the architecture of multi-AZ deployment first.
    To support read/write separation, learn more about how it is implemented first.
    You have checked out the billing details of the instance. For more information, see Billing Overview. Database fees for one hour will be frozen when you create a pay-as-you-go database. Make sure that your account balance is sufficient before making a purchase.

    Purchasing in the console

    1. Log in to the TencentDB for Redis purchase page with your Tencent Cloud account.
    2. Configure the instance as needed based on the parameter descriptions below:
    Parameter
    Required
    Description
    Billing Mode
    Yes
    Currently, only pay-as-you-go is supported.
    Region
    Yes
    Select a region where your instance resides. You should select a region closest to you to reduce access latency.
    Note that the region cannot be changed after the instance is successfully created.
    We recommend that you select the same region as the CVM instance for private network communication.
    Instance Edition
    Yes
    Select the Memory Edition. The CKV Edition is unavailable currently.
    Compatible Version
    Yes
    It is a high-performance edition based on open-source Redis and compatible with Redis 6.2, 5.0, 4.0, and 2.8.
    v2.8 is unavailable currently, and v4.0 or later is recommended. To purchase v2.8, submit a ticket.
    Architecture
    Yes
    v4.0 or later supports the standard architecture and cluster architecture, while v2.8 only supports the standard architecture. For more information on the product architecture, see Memory Edition (Standard Architecture) and Memory Edition (Cluster Architecture).
    Memory
    Yes
    Configure the required memory size (0.25–64 GB) if you select Standard Architecture for Architecture.
    Replica Quantity
    Yes
    Select the number of database replicas. Multiple replicas provide master-replica high availability, enhancing the data security. Replicas can also be used to enhance the read-only performance.
    The replica quantity may vary by region or edition as configured in the console by default.
    Shard Quantity
    Yes
    Set the number of shards as needed if you select Cluster Architecture for Architecture. The more the shards, the larger the cluster storage capacity.
    Shard Capacity
    Yes
    Set the capacity of each shard if you select Cluster Architecture for Architecture.
    Specs Preview
    -
    Preview the selected specification and the supported maximum number of connections and maximum network throughput to verify whether they meet your expectations.
    Read-Only Replica
    No
    Specify whether to enable read/write separation. You can also enable it later as needed. For more information, see Read/Write Separation.
    Network Type
    Yes
    Currently, only VPC is supported.
    AZ
    Yes
    Choose whether to enable multi-AZ deployment. Both single-AZ deployment and multi-AZ deployment are supported. Multi-AZ deployed instances have higher availability and better disaster recovery capability than single-AZ deployed instances. For more information, see Multi-AZ Deployment.
    For single-AZ deployment, select the AZ of the master node in **Master Node Group (Master AZ)**.
    For multi-AZ deployment, select the master AZ from the drop-down list of **Master Node Group (Master AZ)**, and specify the AZs for replicas in the drop-down lists of replicas.
    IPv4 Network
    Yes
    Select the VPC and subnet. We recommend that you select the same VPC in the same region as the CVM instance to be connected to.
    VPCs are region-specific (e.g., Guangzhou), while subnets are AZ-specific (e.g., Guangzhou Zone 1). One VPC can be divided into one or multiple subnets, which are interconnected over the private network by default. Different VPCs are isolated over the private network by default, no matter whether they are in the same or different regions.
    You can switch the VPC after instance purchase as instructed in Configuring Network. You can also click Create VPCs and Create Subnets to create the desired network environment as instructed in Creating VPC.
    Port
    Yes
    Custom port. The default port is 6379. The value range is [1024,65535].
    Parameter Template
    Yes
    Select the parameter template associated with the instance.
    You can apply a parameter template to configure parameters in batches for the instance.
    The system will automatically adapt the corresponding default template based on the selected compatible version and architecture. For more information, see the default template in Applying Parameter Templates.
    Project
    Yes
    Assign your instance to a project for easy management.
    Tag
    No
    Add tags to your instance for easy classification and management. Click Add to select tag keys and values.
    Security Group
    Yes
    Set security group rules to control the inbound traffic to your database. You can either select a security group from the Existing Security Groups drop-down list or click Custom Security Groups to create one and set inbound rules. For more information, see Configuring Security Group.
    Instance Name
    Yes
    Enter up to 60 letters, digits, hyphens, and underscores.
    Set Password
    Yes
    Select the password authentication method, which can be Password Authentication (default value) or Passwordless Authentication.
    Password
    No
    If you select Password Authentication for Set Password, you need to set an access password for the instance according to the following requirements:
    It can contain [8,30] characters.
    It must contain at least two of the following four types: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, and symbols (()`~!@#$%^&*-+=_|{}[]:;<>,.?/).
    It cannot start with a slash (/).
    Confirm Password
    No
    Enter the access password for the instance again.
    Quantity
    Yes
    You can purchase up to 30 pay-as-you-go instances at a time. 1–100 instances can be purchased in each region.
    Terms of Service
    Yes
    Read TencentDB Service Level Agreement and Service Level Agreement and select I have read and agreed to.
    3. After verifying that the parameters are correctly configured, click Buy Now. After the purchase success message is displayed, click Go to Console. After the instance becomes Running in the status , you can use it normally.
    Note:
    After activating TencentDB for Redis, make sure that your account balance is sufficient. An insufficient balance may cause overdue payments or even instance repossession. For more information, see Payment Overdue.
    For subsequent operations, see Creating TencentDB for Redis Instance.
