2. Select a target namespace in the upper left corner.
3. Click Create Data Source in the upper right corner.
4. Configure the data source and click OK.

   If you need to create sync links for MySQL or PostgreSQL data sources, ensure that at least one of your data sources is using RDS, that is, its Mode is set to RDS.

Deleting a Data Source

1. Log in to the MAS console, go to the Data Sources page, and click Delete in the row that contains a target data source.
2. Click OK to delete the data source.
