Data replication
 According to your settings, the primary DB instance can replicate data to the
standby DB instance in asynchronous or semi-synchronous mode.
 If the primary DB instance fails, RDS can fail over to the standby DB instance
Storage Storage immediately to continue to provide database read and write services. After the
failover, the data replication roles of the primary and standby DB instances are
exchanged.

DB Instance Lifecycle Management
DB instances are the smallest management units used by RDS. Each is an isolated database environment
on the cloud. A DB instance can contain multiple user-created databases. You can use the same tool or
program to access these databases. You can use the RDS console or APIs to create DB instances and
manage them easily. Add

 Change associated parameter groups
Buying an RDS DB Instance
Scenarios
You can quickly buy a DB instance on the RDS console.
Procedure
Connecting to an RDS DB Instance
Scenarios
You can connect and manage DB instances using the Data Admin Service (DAS) service or other clients. By default, you
have the remote login permission. It is recommended that you use the DAS service to connect and manage DB instances,
which is more secure and convenient.
This slide uses DAS as an example to describe how to connect to a DB instance. For details about how to connect to a DB
instance through a client, see "Connecting to a DB Instance" in the Relational Database Service Getting Started.
Procedure
Creating a Read Replica
Scenarios
Read replicas are used to enhance the read capabilities of primary DB instances and reduce the load on primary DB
instances. After DB instances are created, you can create read replicas for them.
A maximum of five read replicas can be created for a primary DB instance.
Procedure
Changing a Single DB Instance to Primary/Standby
Scenarios
You can change the DB instance type from single to primary/standby to improve the instance reliability while retaining
the original instance resources.
Procedure
Manually Switching Between Primary and Standby
DB Instances
Scenarios
If you choose to create primary/standby DB instances, RDS will create a primary DB instance and a synchronous standby
DB instance in the same region. You can access only the primary DB instance. The standby instance serves as a backup. If
the primary DB instance fails, the standby DB instance is promoted to the new primary instance and takes over services
for failover support.
Procedure
Changing the CPU or Memory of a DB Instance
Scenarios
You can change the CPU or memory of a DB instance as required. If the status of a DB instance changes from Changing
instance class to Available, the change is successful.
Procedure
Rebooting a DB Instance
Scenarios
You may need to reboot a DB instance for maintenance purposes. For example, if the status of a DB instance is
Abnormal, you can try rebooting it to restore its status to Available. After modifying some parameters, you must reboot
the DB instance for the modifications to take effect. You can reboot a primary DB instance or a read replica on the
management console.
Procedure
Renaming a DB instance
Scenarios
This section describes how to change the name of a primary DB instance or read replica.
Procedure
Deleting a Pay-per-Use DB Instance
Scenarios
You can manually delete the following DB instances that are not in use to release resources:
 Primary DB instances
 Read replicas
Procedure
Modifying an Automated Backup Policy
Scenarios
When you create a DB instance, an automated backup policy with a 7-day backup retention period is enabled by default. You can also disable
it. However, it is strongly recommended that you enable the automated backup policy for data restoration. After a DB instance is created, you
can modify the automated backup policy as needed. RDS backs up data based on the automated backup policy you have set. For DB instances
with the ultra-high performance, the automated backup policy cannot be disabled.
RDS automatically backs up data at the DB instance level. If a database is faulty or data is damaged, you can restore it from backups to ensure
data reliability. Backups are saved as packages in OBS buckets to ensure data confidentiality and durability. Since backing up data affects the
database read and write performance, you are advised to enable automated backups during off-peak hours.
Procedure
1. Log in to the HUAWEI CLOUD management console.
2. Click Fees in the upper right corner of the page. The Billing Center page is displayed.
3. In the navigation tree on the left, choose Unsubscriptions and Changes > Unsubscriptions, select the order to be unsubscribed from,
and click to Unsubscribe in the Operation column.
4. On the Instance Management page, locate the target DB instance and click its name.
5. On the Backup & Restore page, click Modify Backup Policy. If you want to enable the automated backup policy, click .
6. If you want to enable the automated backup policy, click .
7. Click OK to save the modification.
Creating a Manual Backup
Scenarios
RDS allows you to create manual backups of a running primary DB instance. You can use these backups to restore data.
Manual backup will be retained until you delete them manually.
Procedure
Restoring a DB Instance to a Point in Time
Scenarios
You can use existing automated backups to restore DB instances to a point in time.
Procedure
Restoring a Backup
Scenarios
You can use an automated or manual backup to restore a DB instance to the status when the backup was created. You
can restore the DB instance to a new or an original DB instance.
Procedure
Scaling a DB Instance
Scenarios
You can scale up storage space if it is no longer sufficient for your requirements. When the DB instance status is Storage
full, data cannot be written to databases.
Procedure
Configure DB Engine Parameters
Scenarios
You can modify parameters in user-created parameter groups.
Procedure
Viewing Monitoring Metrics
Scenarios
Cloud Eye monitors RDS operating status. You can view the RDS monitoring metrics on the management console.
Monitored data takes some time for transmission and display. The RDS status displayed on the Cloud Eye console is the
status of the last 5 to 10 minutes. If your RDS is newly created, wait for 5 to 10 minutes and then view the monitoring
data.
Procedure
1. Log in to the HUAWEI CLOUD management console.
2. Under Management & Deployment, click Cloud Eye.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Cloud Service Monitoring > Relational Database Service.
