Overview
Lumen's Relational DB Service is a database-as-a-service product that provides instant access to a database instance with SSL support, daily backups, restore functionality, basic monitoring and a replication option with auto-failover. Users can configure the amount of CPU, Memory, and Storage based on their database needs. They can choose to replicate their instance for a more highly available solution. As the customer's capacity needs grow, they can easily scale their CPU, RAM, and/or Storage with the click of a button.
Prerequisites
- Access to the Lumen Cloud Platform as an authorized user
- Existing Relational DB Instance
Deleting a Relational DB Instance
-
Browse to Lumen Cloud’s Relational DB UI through the Control Portal or directly at rdbs.ctl.io.
-
Navigate to the “Database Instances” screen. Identify and click on the database subscription you would like to delete. This takes you to a details screen specific to that subscription.
-
From the details screen. Click the 'delete' button in the upper right corner of the page. Then, click 'Yes' when prompted. This will delete any replica databases as well. Note: it's not possible to delete a replica without deleting the entire instance.
-
As part of the Delete process, we automatically execute one last backup. This backup will be kept for 3 months. This is to help safeguard people from themselves. And allows you a very easy way to recover if you choose to. If you know for sure you won't use it you can manually delete that backup.
