  • URI example

    https://dds.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/v3.1/0549b4a43100d4f32f51c01c2fe4acdb/flavors?engine_name=DDS-Community&engine_version=3.4&offset=1&limit=20

Request Parameters

Table 1 Parameter description

Name

Type

IN

Mandatory

Description

x-auth-token

string

header

Yes

User token obtained from IAM. For details, see Authentication.

project_id

string

path

Yes

Project ID of a tenant in a region. To obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.

engine_name

string

query

No

offset

Integer

query

No

Index offset.

  • The value must be a positive number.

limit

Integer

query

No

Maximum pieces of specifications information that can be queried

  • The value ranges from 1 to 100.
  • If this parameter is not transferred, the first 100 pieces of specification information can be queried by default.

Response Parameters

Table 2 Parameter description

Name

Type

Mandatory

Description

flavors

Array of objects

Yes

Indicates the DB instance specifications information list. For more information, see Table 3.

total_count

Integer

Yes

Total number of records

Table 3 flavors field data structure description

Name

Type

Mandatory

Description

engine_name

String

Yes

Indicates the engine name.

type

String

Yes

Indicates the node type. DDS contains the following types of nodes:

  • mongos
  • shard
  • config
  • replica
  • single
  • readonly

vcpus

String

Yes

Indicates the number of vCPUs.

ram

String

Yes

Indicates the memory size in gigabyte (GB).

spec_code

String

Yes

Indicates the resource specification code.

Example: dds.mongodb.c6.xlarge.2.shard

NOTE:
  • dds: indicates the DDS service.
  • dds.mongodb: indicates the DDS service.
  • c6.xlarge.2: indicates the node specification. It is a high-memory type.
  • shard: indicates the node type.
  • When querying the specifications, check whether the specifications are of the same series. The specification series includes general-purpose (s6), enhanced (c3), and enhanced II (c6).
    Example:
    • dds.mongodb.s6.large.4.mongos and dds.mongodb.s6.large.4.config have the same specifications.
    • dds.mongodb.s6.large.4.mongos and dds.mongodb.c3.large.4.config are not of the same specifications.

az_status

Map<String,String>

Yes

key indicates the AZ ID, and value indicates the specification status in the AZ. Its value can be any of the following:

  • normal: The specification is on sale.
  • unsupported: This specification is not supported.
  • sellout: The specification is sold out.

engine_versions

Array of strings

Yes

Database versions

For example, DDS mongos node, {"3.4", "4.0"}

Example Requests

None

Example Responses

In the example response, az1, az2, and az3 in the az_status field are example values.
