The overall workflow for using Cloud DB for PostgreSQL on the NAVER Cloud Platform is as follows: ![clouddbforpostgresql-procedure_01_vpc_ko](https://cdn.document360.io/6998976f-9d95-4df8-b847-d375892b92c2/Images/Documentation/clouddbforpostgresql-procedure_01_vpc_en.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T15%3A47%3A49Z&se=2026-10-27T16%3A47%3A49Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Zoh7VteancKt1tr%2BoT2wQjgIi5NWLp6MXCTqlYTKFds%3D) Each step is described as follows: [1. Create an application server](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-procedure#1%EC%95%A0%ED%94%8C%EB%A6%AC%EC%BC%80%EC%9D%B4%EC%85%98%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1) [2. Configure the connection environment](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-procedure#2%EC%A0%91%EC%86%8D%ED%99%98%EA%B2%BD%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%95) [3. Test the application server connection](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-procedure#3%EC%95%A0%ED%94%8C%EB%A6%AC%EC%BC%80%EC%9D%B4%EC%85%98%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%A0%91%EC%86%8D%ED%85%8C%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8) [4. Create a PostgreSQL server](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-procedure#4PostgreSQLServer%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1) [5. Configure the ACG](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-procedure#5ACG%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%95) [6. Test access to the PostgreSQL server](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-procedure#6PostgreSQLServer%EC%A0%91%EC%86%8D%ED%85%8C%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8) ## 1. Create an application server First, create an application server (APP server) that will communicate with the PostgreSQL server you create in Cloud DB for PostgreSQL in the NAVER Cloud Platform console. Because Cloud DB for PostgreSQL is currently accessible only within the NAVER Cloud Platform, the application server must also be located within the NAVER Cloud Platform. In the NAVER Cloud Platform console, you can create an application server (APP server) in**Menu** > **All Services** > **Compute** > **Server** menu. For detailed instructions, see: - [Quick guide to creating an application server](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-start) - [Guide to creating an application server](/docs/en/server-create-vpc) ## 2. Configure the connection environment After you complete the application server creation, configure the connection environment so you can access the application server. There are two ways to configure the connection environment: - Configure access to the private domain using a public IP on the NAVER Cloud Platform - Configure external access using the SSL VPN on the NAVER Cloud Platform When you configure access using a public IP, check the administrator (root) password required to access the server by using the **administrator password check** feature. When you configure access using SSL VPN, you can access the DB server by installing an SSL VPN client on your personal PC. Using SSL VPN is more secure when the server is used for administrative purposes. For detailed instructions, see: - [Quick guide to configuring a public IP or SSL VPN](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-start) - [Guide to configuring a public IP](/docs/en/vpc-publicip-vpc) - [Guide to configuring SSL VPN](/docs/en/sslvpn-start-vpc) ## 3. Test the application server connection After you complete the connection environment configuration, test whether you can successfully connect to the application server by using a terminal program. You can see the following guides: - [Guide to connection testing](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-start) - [Download the PuTTY terminal program](https://www.putty.org/) ## 4. Create a PostgreSQL server After you complete the application server connection test, create an PostgreSQL server that will communicate with the application server. You can create a PostgreSQL server directly from **Menu** > **All Services** > **Database** > **Cloud DB for PostgreSQL** in the NAVER Cloud Platform console without submitting a separate service request. For detailed instructions, see: - [Quick guide to creating a PostgreSQL server](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-start) - [Guide to creating a PostgreSQL server](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-postgresqlserver) ### Server redundancy configuration You can configure server redundancy to prevent data loss and minimize service impact in the event of a failure. Cloud DB for PostgreSQL creates a primary DB server and a secondary DB server and provides automatic failover to the secondary server if the primary server fails. Because access is available through DNS, no additional application changes are required. ![clouddbforpostgresql-procedure_02_vpc_ko](https://cdn.document360.io/6998976f-9d95-4df8-b847-d375892b92c2/Images/Documentation/clouddbforpostgresql-procedure_02_vpc_en.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T15%3A47%3A49Z&se=2026-10-27T16%3A47%3A49Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Zoh7VteancKt1tr%2BoT2wQjgIi5NWLp6MXCTqlYTKFds%3D) To configure server redundancy, select **Support high availability** when creating the PostgreSQL server. ### Monitoring and event management You can monitor server performance and operating system status and review events for running PostgreSQL servers from the NAVER Cloud Platform console to manage database services in a stable manner. You can also configure events and notifications (alarms) by using Cloud Insight on the NAVER Cloud Platform. Caution Additional charges apply when you subscribe to Cloud Insight. For information about Cloud Insight and its pricing plans, see [**Services > Management & Governance > Cloud Insight**](https://www.ncloud.com/product/management/cloudInsight) on the NAVER Cloud Platform portal. You can refer to the following guide(s): - [Guide to using monitoring](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-monitoring) - [Guide to checking events](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-event) - [Guide to configuring events and notifications](/docs/en/cloudinsight-cloudinsightoverview) ### Administrative and operational permission management In addition to the main account, you can create sub accounts to configure various management and operation permissions for Cloud DB for PostgreSQL. You can design permissions by using system-managed and user-created policies in Sub Account on the NAVER Cloud Platform. Note Sub Account is a free service with no additional charges. For detailed information about Sub Account and its pricing, see [**Services > Management & Governance > Sub Account**](https://www.ncloud.com/product/management/subAccount) on the NAVER Cloud Platform portal. For detailed instructions, see: - [Quick guide on administrative and operational permissions management](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-subaccount) - [Guide on managing administrative and operational permissions](/docs/en/subaccount-overview) ### Log and backup file storage You can securely store log files or backup files generated on the PostgreSQL server by using Object Storage on the NAVER Cloud Platform. Caution Additional charges apply when you subscribe to Object Storage. For information about Object Storage and its pricing plans, see [**Services > Storage > Object Storage**](https://www.ncloud.com/product/storage/objectStorage) on the NAVER Cloud Platform portal. For detailed instructions, see: - [Log and backup file storage guide](/docs/en/storage-storage-6-1) ### Configure read load balancing You can configure read load balancing for the PostgreSQL server by using the Load Balancer on the NAVER Cloud Platform. Caution Additional charges apply when you subscribe to Load Balancer. For information about Load Balancer and its pricing plans, see **[Services > Networking > Load Balancer](https://www.ncloud.com/product/networking/loadBalancer)** on the NAVER Cloud Platform portal. For detailed instructions, see: - [Quick guide to Load Balancer](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-postgresqlserver) - [Load Balancer user guide](/docs/en/networking-loadbalancer-loadbalanceroverview) ## 5. Configure the ACG Configure the Access Control Group (ACG) of the PostgreSQL server so that the application server can access the PostgreSQL server. For detailed instructions, see: - [Quick guide to configuring the ACG](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-start) - [Guide to configuring the ACG](/docs/en/compute-compute-2-3) ## 6. Test access to the PostgreSQL server Test whether you can successfully connect to the created PostgreSQL server by using an PostgreSQL client. For detailed instructions, see: - [Guide to connection testing](/docs/en/clouddbforpostgresql-start)
