Setting the required resources for a database

For a Tonic Ephemeral database, you can specify disk space and compute resources. After you set these values for a database, you cannot change them.

Disk space allocation

In the Disk space allocation field, specify the size in gigabytes to allocate to the database and to each of its snapshots. For a free trial, a database cannot use more than 100 GB.

Ephemeral uses that value to calculate the amount of space being used by the current databases and snapshots, and to determine the amount of disk space that can be used before Ephemeral displays a warning. For information about how to monitor disk space usage and configure the alert threshold, go to Monitoring the disk space usage and configuring the alert threshold.

Compute resources

From the Compute resources dropdown list, select the option to use for the combination of vCPUs and memory:

  • Nano - 0.125 vCPU with 0.5 GB RAM

  • Micro - 0.5 vCPU with 2 GB RAM

  • Small - 1 vCPU with 4 GB RAM

  • Medium - 2 vCPU with 8 GB RAM

  • Large - 4 vCPU with 16 GB RAM
