Parameter description

**Table 2** Parameter description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	Yes	String	Specifies the DB instance name. The DB instance name of the same DB engine is unique for the same tenant. The value must be 4 to 64 characters in length and start with a letter (from A to Z or from a to z). It is case-sensitive and can contain only letters, digits (from 0 to 9), hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
datastore	Yes	Object	Specifies the database information. For more information, see Table 3.
region	Yes	String	Specifies the region ID. The value cannot be empty. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see Regions and Endpoints.
availability_zone	Yes	String	Specifies the AZ ID. The value cannot be empty. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see Regions and Endpoints.
vpc_id	Yes	String	Specifies the VPC ID. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see section "Virtual Private Cloud" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference. The value cannot be empty. The string length and whether the string complying with UUID regular expression rules are verified.
subnet_id	Yes	String	Specifies the subnet ID. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see section "Subnet" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
security_group_id	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the security group where a specified DB instance belongs to. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see section "Security Group" in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
password	Yes	String	Specifies the database password. The value must be 8 to 32 characters in length and contain uppercase letters (A to Z), lowercase letters (a to z), digits (0 to 9), and special characters, such as ~!@#%^*-_=+? You are advised to enter a strong password to improve security, preventing security risks such as brute force cracking.
disk_encryption_id	No	String	Specifies the key ID used for disk encryption. The string must comply with UUID regular expression rules. If this parameter is not transferred, disk encryption is not performed.
mode	Yes	String	Specifies the instance type. Cluster, replica set instances are supported. Valid value: Sharding ReplicaSet
flavor	Yes	Array of objects	Specifies the instance specifications. For more information, see Table 4. For details about how to obtain the value, see the response values of flavor in Querying All DB Instance Specifications.
backup_strategy	No	Object	Specifies the advanced backup policy. For more information, see Table 5.
ssl_option	No	String	Specifies whether to enable SSL. Valid value: The value 0 indicates that SSL is disabled by default. The value 1 indicates that SSL is enabled by default. If this parameter is not transferred, SSL is enabled by default.

**Table 3** datastore field data structure description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
type	Yes	String	Specifies the database type. DDS Community Edition is supported. The value is DDS-Community.
version	Yes	String	Specifies the database version. The value is 3.2 or 3.4.
storage_engine	Yes	String	Specifies the storage engine. Currently, DDS supports the WiredTiger storage engine. The value is wiredTiger.

**Table 4** flavor field data structure description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
type	Yes	String	Specifies the node type. Valid value: For a cluster instance, the value can be mongos, shard, or config. For a replica set instance, the value is replica.
num	Yes	Integer	Specifies node quantity. Valid value: mongos: The value ranges from 2 to 16. shard: The value ranges from 2 to 16. config: The value is 1. replica: The value is 1.
storage	This parameter is optional for all nodes except mongos. This parameter is invalid for the mongos nodes.	String	Specifies the disk type. Valid value: ULTRAHIGH, which indicates the type SSD. This parameter is valid for the shard and config nodes of a community edition cluster instance, replica set instances. This parameter is invalid for mongos nodes. Therefore, you do not need to specify the storage space for mongos nodes.
size	This parameter is mandatory for all nodes except mongos. This parameter is invalid for the mongos nodes.	Integer	Specifies the disk size. The value must be a multiple of 10. The unit is GB. For a cluster instance, the storage space of a shard node can be 10 to 1000 GB, and the config storage space is 20 GB. This parameter is invalid for mongos nodes. Therefore, you do not need to specify the storage space for mongos nodes. For a replica set instance, the value ranges from 10 to 2000.
spec_code	Yes	String	Specifies the resource specification code. For details about how to obtain the value, see the response values of spec_code in Querying All DB Instance Specifications.

**Table 5** backup_strategy field data structure description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
start_time	Yes	String	Specifies the backup time window. Automated backups will be triggered during the backup time window. The value cannot be empty. It must be a valid value in the "hh:mm-HH:MM" format. The current time is in the UTC format. The HH value must be 1 greater than the hh value. The values of mm and MM must be the same and must be set to any of the following: 00, 15, 30, or 45. Example value: 08:15-09:15 23:00-00:00
keep_days	No	String	Specifies the number of days to retain the generated backup files. The value range is from 0 to 732. If this parameter is set to 0, the automated backup policy is not set. If this parameter is not transferred, the automated backup policy is enabled by default. Backup files are stored for seven days by default.

The values of region and availability_zone are used as examples.
