Cloud DB for Cache quickstart

Available in Classic and VPC

NAVER Cloud Platform's Cloud DB for Cache easily and quickly builds DB Server in cloud environments, and operates and manages them to enable stable cache service. The full sequence for utilizing NAVER Cloud Platform's Cloud DB for Cache is as follows:

The descriptions for each step are as follows:

1. Create application server
2. Set access environment
3. Test application server connection
4. Create DB Server (VPC)
4. Create DB Server (Classic)
5. Set ACG
6. Test DB server connection

1. Create application server

First, create an application server (APP server) that will communicate with DB Server to be created from Cloud DB for Cache on NAVER Cloud Platform console. Currently, Cloud DB for Cache is only accessible within NAVER Cloud Platform. Thus, the application server must also reside in NAVER Cloud Platform. The application server (APP server) can be created from the i_menu > Services > Compute > Server menu on NAVER Cloud Platform console.

2. Set access environment

Once you've completed creating an application server, set up an access environment so that users can access the application server. You have 2 ways of setting the access environment, which are described as follows:

Set up access to a private domain using the public IP or port forwarding of NAVER Cloud Platform
Set up external access using SSL VPN of NAVER Cloud Platform

For access settings using public IP or port forwarding, you need to get the admin (root) password required for the server access, using the Get admin password feature. For access settings using SSL VPN, you can access DB Server by installing the SSL VPN client on your personal PC. For better security, it is recommended to use SSL VPN product for administrative purposes.

3. Test application server connection

Once you complete setting up the access environment, use the terminal program to test if you can connect to the application server properly.

4. Create DB Server (VPC)

After you complete testing the application server connection, create a DB Server that will communicate with the application server. The DB Server can be created from the i_menu > Services > Database > Cloud DB for Cache menu on NAVER Cloud Platform console without a separate service subscription request.

Server redundancy configuration

To prevent data loss and minimize service impact in occurrence of failures, you can set server redundancy. Cloud DB for Cache consists of master node and slave node, and provides a feature for automatic failover to the slave node in case of failure in the master node. The master node that has experienced a failure is converted to the slave node after troubleshooting and reintegrated back into the cluster.

To configure server redundancy, click and select Support high availability when creating the DB Server.

Manage monitoring and event

For DB Servers that have been created and are in operation, you can check monitoring for server performance and operating system status as well as occurred events, and manage them for stable cache service from NAVER Cloud Platform console. You can also utilize NAVER Cloud Platform's Cloud Insight to configure event and notification (alarm) settings.

Caution

Additional fees apply when you subscribe to Cloud Insight. To access information about Cloud Insight introduction and pricing plans, see Services > Management & Governance > Cloud Insight in NAVER Cloud Platform portal.

Management and administration permissions

You can create sub accounts in addition to the main user account and set various management and administration permissions for Cloud DB for Cache. You can design permissions by utilizing the System Managed and User Created policies in NAVER Cloud Platform's Sub Account.

Note

Sub Account is a service provided free of charge upon subscription. For more information on Sub Account and its pricing plan, see Services > Management & Governance > Sub Account on NAVER Cloud Platform portal.

Server redundancy configuration

To prevent data loss and minimize service impact in occurrence of failures, you can set server redundancy. When high availability support is selected, Cloud DB for Cache creates an active master server and a standby master server, and performs an automatic failover to the standby master server when a failure occurs in the active master server. As the redundancy is provided in the DNS method, no additional application change is required.
