ovhcloud cloud managed-database create

Create a new managed database service

Synopsis

Use this command to create a managed database service in the given public cloud project. There are two ways to define the creation parameters:

  1. Using only CLI flags:

    ovhcloud cloud managed-database create --engine mysql --version 8 --plan essential --nodes-pattern.flavor db1-4 --nodes-pattern.region DE

  2. Using your default text editor:

    ovhcloud cloud managed-database create --engine mysql --editor You will be able to choose from several examples of parameters. Once an example has been selected, the CLI will open your default text editor to update the parameters. When saving the file, the creation will start.

Note that it is also possible to override values in the presented examples using command line flags like the following:

ovhcloud cloud managed-database create --engine mysql --editor --version 8
