Create an In-Memory DB Instance

The request creates a new In-Memory DB instance on IONOS DBaaS. Each In-Memory DB instance can contain multiple nodes.

Note:

  • Only contract administrators, owners, and users with Access and manage DBaaS privileges can create and manage In-Memory DB instances, provided the new IAM system is disabled.

  • After creating an instance, you can access it via the corresponding LAN using the same username and password specified during creation.

  • You can only set the username and password via the API while creating an In-Memory DB instance. Once configured, they cannot be updated.

The data center must be provided as a UUID. The easiest way to retrieve the UUID is through the Cloud API.

To make authenticated requests to the API, the following fields are mandatory in the request header:

Response

Your values will differ from those in the sample code. It may contain different IDs, timestamps etc.

You may have noticed that the metadata.state is BUSY and that the instance is not yet reachable. This is because the cloud will create a completely new instance and needs to provision new nodes for all the requested replicas. This process runs asynchronously in the background and might take up to 30 minutes.
