Launching Your First MySQL DB System
Step 1 - Pre-requisites
1. 1. Create
a compartment and
user group to
organize the resources and access. In this example, we create a compartment
named as MySQL_Sandbox, and
a group MySQL_Test_Group. Log-in the Console as
an Administrator,
under the Identity menu, create a MySQL_Sandbox compartment, and
a group MySQL_Test_Group. Add
the OCI user you will use to work with MySQL Database Service to the group.
2. Define
the required MySQL Database Service policies (Identity
menu). In our example, if your user is in the group MySQL_Test_Group and
you want to restrict your MySQL DB Systems to the compartment MySQL_Sandbox, add
the following policy statements:
a. create a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). Just click on the "Start VCN Wizard" button, choose "VCN with Internet Connectivity", give a name, confirm the compartment, keep the default CIDR blocks (10.0.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/24, 10.0.1.0/24) and DNS Resolution options, then click the buttons "Next", and finally "Create".
Step 2 - Create a MySQL DB System
1. Using
the Console,
select the menu Database > MySQL > DB Systems > Create MySQL DB
System.
1. Inform
your DB System preferences, ensuring you choose the compartment where your
VCN and Subnets are configured from the pre-requisites. Give your DB System a
name, select the Availability Domain and Fault Domain you want to place your DB
System. Then you can choose a configuration, as the VM.Standard.E2.1.Built-in,
define the Storage Size and click the "Next" button.
1. You
will now provide the Database information: MySQL Administrator credentials, and
confirm where the network information, and click "Next".
1. Finally,
just confirm if you want to enable Automatic Backups and click
"Create".
1. Your
new MySQL DB System will be ready to use after a few minutes. You can perform
the following Step 3 in parallel while waiting.
1. The
state Creating will change to Active, indicating that your DB System is ready
to use. When the DB System is Active, click on the left "Endpoints"
resources and check the Address to connect to the DB System.
