What databases are supported by E2E DBaaS, and how do I choose one?
A: E2E DBaaS supports MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Valkey, Kafka, and OpenSearch. Compare features like read replica support, snapshot capabilities, or multi-datacenter replication to choose. For example, MySQL/MariaDB suit relational needs, Cassandra for big data, and Valkey for in-memory caching.
How do I manage a MySQL database on E2E Networks?
A: Create a MySQL instance in MyAccount under Database, selecting version, plan, and VPC. Connect using mysql -h <host> -P 3306 -u <username> -p <password>, ensuring URL encoding for special characters. Manage via CLI with commands like CREATE DATABASE, GRANT PRIVILEGES, or DROP TABLE.
What are Parameter Groups, and how do I use them?
A: Parameter Groups are sets of configuration values (e.g., innodb_buffer_pool_size, max_connections) for tuning database performance. Create one under Database > Parameter Group, attach it to a DBaaS instance, and sync changes. Edit or delete groups as needed to optimize settings.
How do Committed DBaaS Plans work?
A: Committed DBaaS Plans offer cost savings for Master Nodes, Slave Nodes, and Read Replicas. Launch via MyAccount, with infra credits deducted upfront. Convert hourly plans to committed via the Manage DBaaS section, and set auto-renewal or hourly billing post-commitment. No auto-termination is supported.
