datastore	Yes	Object	Database information. For details, see Table 4.
mode	Yes	String	DB instance type. Currently, only the cluster type is supported.
flavor_ref	Yes	String	Specification code.
vpc_id	Yes	String	VPC ID. To obtain this value, use either of the following methods: Method 1: Log in to the VPC console and view the VPC ID on the VPC details page. Method 2: See "Querying VPCs" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
subnet_id	Yes	String	Network ID. To obtain this value, use either of the following methods: Method 1: Log in to the VPC console and click the target subnet on the Subnets page. You can view the network ID on the displayed page. Method 2: See "Querying Subnets" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
security_group_id	No	String	Security group ID. If the network ACL is enabled for the subnet used by the created DB instance, this parameter is optional. If the network ACL is not enabled, this parameter is mandatory. Method 1: Log in to VPC console. Choose Access Control > Security Groups in the navigation pane on the left.

time_zone	No	String	UTC time zone. If this parameter is not specified, UTC is used by default. If this parameter is specified, the value ranges from UTC-12:00 to UTC+12:00 at the full hour. For example, the parameter can be UTC+08:00 rather than UTC+08:30.
availability_zone_mode	Yes	String	AZ type. The value can be single or multi.
master_availability_zone	If availability_zone_mode is set to multi, this parameter is mandatory. If availability_zone_mode is set to single, this parameter cannot be specified.	String	Primary AZ.
slave_count	Yes	Integer	Number of read-only nodes from 1 to 9. A DB instance can have a maximum of 15 read-only nodes.
region	Yes	String	Region ID. The value cannot be empty. To obtain this value, see Regions and Endpoints.
enterprise_project_id	No	String	Enterprise project ID. This parameter is mandatory only when the enterprise project is enabled.
