Application Management

Introduction

MAS uses applications to isolate resources of different users in the same instance. Resources (such as MySQL and Redis monitors) created in an instance must be associated with an application. By default, IAM users can only view and manage their own applications and resources. You can use your account to view and manage all applications and resources created by IAM users under your account.

Creating an Application

1. Log in to the MAS console. On the Multi-Active Instances page, click an instance to go to its console.
2. Click the Applications tab, and click Create.
3. Enter the application information, then click OK.
