# Getting started

Available in VPC

Once you've reviewed the Cloud DB Serverless [prerequisites](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-spec), [quickstart](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-procedure), and [glossary](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-glossary), you're ready to start using the service. Your first step is subscribing to Cloud DB Serverless service.

This section explains how to create a DB Cluster in the NAVER Cloud Platform console to use the Cloud DB Serverless service.

## Start using the service

The Cloud DB Serverless service does not require a separate application process, and once you create one or more DB Clusters, the service is considered immediately activated. To create DB Clusters in Cloud DB Serverless:

1. Access the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. In the top-right corner, click **Region & Platform**.
3. Select your region and the **VPC** platform, then click **[Apply]**.
4. In the top-left corner, click **Menu**.
5. Navigate to **All services** > **Database** > **Cloud DB Serverless**.
6. In the **DB Cluster** menu, click **[Create DB Cluster]**.
7. When the **Create** interface appears, navigate to the next steps:
  - Enter Cluster settings: Check the DBMS, configure DB instance specifications, set the Auto Scaling policy, and enter the DB Cluster name.
  - Enter DB settings: Enter the basic DB information, check the DB config settings, and configure the backup settings.
  - Connection settings: VPC and Subnet settings
  - Final confirmation: Final confirmation on entered information
8. Click **[Create]** to start using the service.

### Next steps

You have completed all the initial steps required to use the Cloud DB Serverless service. Check the list of created clusters and proceed with the next steps:

- [DB management](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-dbclusterdetail)
- [DB Cluster information check](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-screen)
- [Monitoring](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-monitoring)

After starting the service, go to Cloud DB Serverless usage and then to DB Cluster to learn how to use the various features provided by the Cloud DB Serverless service.

- Here are some suggested next steps:
  - To create DB Clusters in Cloud DB Serverless service, see [DB Cluster](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-dbcluster).
  - To change DB Cluster settings, see [DB Cluster details](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-dbinstancedetail).
  - To review your understanding of the service, see [Cloud DB Serverless glossary](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-glossary).
  - To understand the complete workflow, see [Cloud DB Serverless quickstart](/docs/en/db-clouddbserverless-procedure).

              Note

              

The Cloud DB Serverless service is charged on a pay‑as‑you‑go basis, with fees applied according to the usage of DB instances, data storage, and backup storage. For detailed information about the service charges, see

- [Navigate to **Services > Database > Cloud DB Serverless > Pricing** on the NAVER Cloud Platform portal](https://www.ncloud.com/product/database/cloudDbServerless#pricing)

## Unsubscribe from the service

Like the service subscription, the Cloud DB Serverless service does not require a separate process for unsubscription. If you delete all the created DB Clusters, your Cluster DB Serverless subscription is now cancelled.

              Caution

              

When you delete a DB Cluster, all data will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
