On the opened screen, choose parameters of your new deployment:
|
||||
|
||||
* `Deployment type`
|
||||
* `Deployment name` – a unique name for your deployment;
|
||||
* `Global settings` – choose between:
|
||||
* Single - for affordable, performant single-node deployments;
|
||||
* Cluster - for highly available and multi-tenant deployments;
|
||||
* `Region` – AWS region where deployment will run;
|
||||
* Desired `storage capacity` for storing metrics (you always can expand disk size later);
|
||||
* `Retention` period for stored metrics.
|
||||
* `Size` of your deployment [based on your needs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/understand-your-setup-size.html)
|
||||
* Cloud provider - for deployments on AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.
|
||||
* Region - cloud provider region where deployment will run;
|
||||
* `Tier and storage` – choose between:
|
||||
* [Tier](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics-cloud/tiers-parameters/) – predefined set of parameters for your deployment [based on your needs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/understand-your-setup-size.html);
|
||||
* Retention – desired retention period for stored metrics;
|
||||
* Storage - desired storage capacity for storing metrics (you always can expand disk size later);
|
||||
|
||||
We provide recommended capacity depends on how much data your ingestion rate and retention period involve,
|
||||
as well as on the size of each data point. We assume each data point is 0.8 byte based on our experience
|
||||
with VictoriaMetrics Cloud and take the ingestion rate and retention period from your deployment configuration.
|
||||
We suggest using the recommended capacity for retention periods of one month or less.
|
||||
If you need to keep data longer (6 months or more), you can start with a smaller storage size and increase it over time.
|
||||
If you ingest high cardinality data, this increases the data point size, and you may need more storage than we recommend.
|
||||
Please note that while you can increase storage size, you cannot reduce it due to AWS limitations.
|
||||
We charge $0.09 per GB-month for SSD storage.
|
||||
Since VictoriaMetrics Cloud doesn’t charge extra for storage, we recommend using enterprise features like [downsampling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#downsampling)
|
||||
and [retention filters](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#retention-filters) to optimize disk space.
|
||||
You can find the formula for calculating the recommended storage [here](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/understand-your-setup-size/#retention-perioddisk-space).
|
||||
Feel free to adjust parameters as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
* `Advanced settings` – additional parameters for your deployment:
|
||||
* `Deduplication` – defines interval when deployment leaves a single raw sample with the biggest timestamp per each discrete interval;
|
||||
* `Maintenance Window` – when deployment should start an upgrade process if needed;
|
||||
|
||||
Also see the [Tier Parameters and Flag Parameters Configuration](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics-cloud/tiers-parameters/).
|
||||
This document provides an overview of tier parameters and predefined flag settings for VictoriaMetrics Cloud.
