Create the Instance

If the instance does not already exist, create it via your cloud providers recommended steps, ensuring the configuration meets your needs. Take a note of the endpoint URL or Public-IP reported. This information will be required when configuring the replicator service.

Also take a note of the user and password used for connecting to the instance.

Check your security group configuration.

The host used as the Target for applying changes to the instance must have been added to the relevenat security groups. Within the cloud console, configure the networking to allow hosts that are allowed to connect to the instance, and hence update information within the database. The configuration must include the IP address of the Applier replicator, whether that host is within the same cloud environment or external.

Change instance properties

Depending on the configuration and data to be replicated, the parameter of the running instance may need to be modified. For example, the max_allowed_packet parameter may need to be increased.

The process for changing parameters differs between cloud providers and therefore you should consult the documentation appropriate to your provider if you are unsure on how to change database properties
