Shared VPC

Scenario

Ensure the VPC of the database audit instance is the same as that of the node (application side or database side) where you plan to install the database audit agent. Otherwise, the instance will be unable to connect to the agent or perform audit.

Creating a VPC

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner, choose Management & Governance > Resource Access Manager, and go to the resource access management page.
  3. Choose Shared by Me > Resource Shares.
  4. Click Create Resource Share in the upper right corner.

  5. Set resource type to vpc:subnet, choose the corresponding region, and select VPCs to be shared. Click Next: Associate Permissions.

  6. Associate a RAM managed permission with each resource type on the displayed page. Then, click Next: Grant Access to Principals in the lower right corner.

  7. Specify the principals that you want to have access to the resources on the displayed page. Then, click Next: Confirm in the lower right corner.

Using a VPC

  1. Log in to the DBSS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner on the displayed page and select a region.
  3. Select Region, AZ Type, AZ, and Edition Configuration.

    Select an enterprise project. The DBSS you purchase will be put under this project. Billing and permissions management are performed based on enterprise projects.

    For details about the differences between editions, see Edition Differences.

  4. Select the VPC and subnet for database audit. For details about related parameters, see Table 2.

    Parameter

    Description

    VPC

    You can select an existing VPC, or click View VPC to create one on the VPC console.

    NOTE:
    • Select the VPC of the node (application or database side) where you plan to install the agent. For more information, see How Do I Determine Where to Install an Agent?
    • To change the VPC of a DBSS instance, unsubscribe from it and purchase a new one.

    For more information about VPC, see Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

    Security Group

    You can select an existing security group in the region or create a security group on the VPC console. Once a security group is selected for an instance, the instance is protected by the access rules of this security group.

    For more information about security groups, see Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

    Subnet

    You can select a subnet configured in the VPC or create a subnet on the VPC console.

    Name

    Instance name.

    Remarks

    You can add instance remarks.

    Enterprise Project

    This parameter is provided for enterprise users.

    An enterprise project groups cloud resources, so you can manage resources and members by project. The default project is default.

    Select an enterprise project from the drop-down list. For more information about enterprise project, see Enterprise Management User Guide.

    Tag

    (Optional) Identifier of the database audit instance. Adding tags helps you better identify and manage your database instances. A maximum of 50 tags for each instance

    If you have configured tag policies for DBSS, you need to add tags to your DBSS instances based on the tag policies. If a tag does not comply with the policies, DBSS instance may fail to be created. Contact your organization administrator to learn more about tag policies.
