Create a TiDB Serverless Instance

Port range 1~65535, disable port: 22,25,111,7002,7041,8080,9100,9115

  • Disaster Recovery Settings

It provides two types of disaster recovery: “Same availability zone” and “Cross availability zone”. “Same availability zone” means that all component nodes are deployed in the same availability zone (different nodes of the same service are deployed on different servers), which has good performance. “Cross availability zone” means that different nodes of the same service are deployed in at least three availability zones, which can ensure the service is still available when an availability zone-level failure occurs, but the performance is lower than the “Same availability zone”. Only some regions offer “Cross availability zone”, and all regions default to creating “Same availability zone” instances.

  • Management settings

You can customize the instance name for the instance, the system will default to generate “TiDB”. Set administrator(root) password, you can input it yourself, or click “Randomly generate”.
