GeminiDB Influx Instance Recycle Bin

You can move unsubscribed yearly/monthly and deleted pay-per-use GeminiDB Influx instances to the recycle bin. You can also rebuild them if necessary.

Usage Notes

  • The recycling bin is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Instances in the recycle bin are retained for 7 days by default, and this will not incur any charges.
  • You can put up to 100 instances into the recycle bin. If the maximum number of instances is reached, you cannot put instances into the recycle bin anymore.
  • If you delete an instance running out of storage, it will not be moved to the recycle bin.
  • Data of a single-node instance cannot be restored after it is moved to the recycle bin.
  • After an instance is deleted, the most recent automated full backup (if no automated full backup is available one day ago, the latest one is retained) is retained and a full backup is performed. You can select any backup file to restore the instance data.

Modifying the Recycling Policy

You can modify the retention period, and the changes only apply to the instances deleted after the modification. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

  1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console.
  2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB.
  3. On the Recycling Bin page, click Modify Recycling Policy. In the displayed dialog box, set the retention period from 1 day to 7 days. Then, click OK.
