About the service

The Cloud Databases service allows you to quickly deploy the DBMS of the types that you need in various configurations in VK Cloud.

Managing cloud DBMSs does not require deep knowledge of administration. A DBMS instance is created in your personal account in a couple of clicks. VK Cloud takes care of all the work of deploying the instance and its technical support. Depending on the configuration and selected options, the following will be automatically configured:

• data replication between hosts;
• load balancing;
• sharding;
• backup;
• scaling disks as data volumes grow.

In the Moscow region, for some types of DBMS, you can create geo-distributed configurations with hosts in different availability zones (GZ1, MS1 and ME1) to further increase fault tolerance.

After deploying the DBMS instance, all that remains is to create the necessary databases on it, fill them with content, connect your applications to them, configure access and monitoring.

For some types of DBMS, extensions are available. You can install them through your personal account.
