          Q. What is database connectivity?
          A. This is a function that allows you to create a Cloud Search domain using the data in the NAVER Cloud Platform server or DB server created with Cloud DB, or convert data into a document and upload it. We support the following databases:

          • When connecting to a DB server in a VPC environment with the same account in a VPC environment: MySQL, MariaDB, MSSQL, MongoDB
          • When connecting through the host and public IP of the DB server: MySQL, MariaDB

          Q. What procedure is required to create and connect a database with the server image of Server?
          A. After performing the following steps, connect with the database to create a domain or upload a document from the database.

          1. Create a server by selecting the image type DBMS. (see Creating server (VPC, Classic))
          2. Request a public IP and apply it to the created server. (see Public IP (VPC, Classic))
          3. Add the Cloud Search connection IP and the connection port of the configured DB server to the ACG applied to the server. (see ACG (VPC, Classic))
            • Cloud Search connection IP
              • In a VPC environment, when connecting to a DB server in a VPC environment owned by the same account: 169.254.83.16, 169.254.83.17
              • When connecting through DB server's host and public IP: 115.85.176.%
          4. Add a user who allows access to the Cloud Search connection IP to the DB server.

          Q. What procedures are required to connect to a database in Cloud DB for MySQL?
          A. After performing the following steps, connect with the database to create a domain or upload a document from the database.

          1. Create a DB server in Cloud DB for MySQL. (see DB Server)
          2. Set the public domain on the DB server. (see Managing Public domain)
          3. Add the Cloud Search connection IP and the connection port of the configured DB server to the ACG applied to the DB server. (see ACG (VPC, Classic))
            • Cloud Search connection IP
              • In a VPC environment, when connecting to a DB server in a VPC environment owned by the same account: 169.254.83.16, 169.254.83.17
              • When connecting through DB server's host and public IP: 115.85.176.%
          4. Add a user who allows access to the Cloud Search connection IP to the DB server. (see Managing DB user)
          Note

          For more information about Cloud DB for MySQL, see Cloud DB for MySQL Guide.

          Q. What is the process of uploading DB data?
          A. Uploading DB data proceeds in the following order.

          1. When requesting to upload DB data, it will query the data from the server with the entered information.
          2. It receives data from the DB server and converts it into a Cloud Search document (JSON).
            • It converts documents in chunk units so that the document data is less than 100 MB.
          3. Converted documents are sequentially uploaded to Cloud Search and indexed.
          4. When indexing is complete, you can check the upload result through the console notification.
