Configuring an Instance

After a LakeFormation instance is created, you can perform the following operations on the instance on the Overview page.

  • Modifying Instance Specifications: Change the QPS value of the instance. Only exclusive instances support this operation.
  • Setting an Instance as Default: Set the instance as the default one. If no instance ID is specified when other services interconnect with the LakeFormation instance, this operation will modify the instance interconnected with the service.

Modifying Instance Specifications

  1. Log in to the LakeFormation console.
  2. In the upper left corner, click and choose Analytics > LakeFormation to access the LakeFormation console.
  3. Select the target LakeFormation instance from the drop-down list box on the left.
  4. Click Scale Instance in the upper right corner of the page. The Scale Instance page is displayed. Shared instances do not support this operation.
  5. Select the target QPS valueand click Next.
  6. Confirm the instance information and its modified specification, and click Submit.

Setting an Instance as Default

  1. Log in to the LakeFormation console.
  2. In the upper left corner, click and choose Analytics > LakeFormation to access the LakeFormation console.
  3. Select the target LakeFormation instance from the drop-down list box on the left.
  4. Check the value of Default Instance in the Basic Information area.

    • true indicates that the instance is the default instance.
    • false indicates that the current instance is not the default instance.

    If the current instance is the default instance, the Set as Default button is unavailable.

  5. To set the instance as the default one, click Set as Default in the upper right corner of the page, confirm the operation impact, and click OK.

    If other services need to connect to LakeFormation and no LakeFormation instance ID is specified, the system automatically accesses the default instance. This default instance change may affect the services that use LakeFormation. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
