This API is used to create a DCS instance.

Note

The system automatically schedules the task every 3 minutes for checking whether resources are available or sold out.

URI¶

Request¶

Request parameters

Table 2 describes the request parameters.

**Table 2** Parameter description¶
Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
name	String	Yes	DCS instance name. An instance name can contain 4 to 64 characters and must start with a letter. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.
description	String	No	Brief description of the DCS instance. The description supports up to 1024 characters. Note The backslash (\) and quotation mark (") are special characters for JSON messages. When using these characters in a parameter value, add the escape character (\) before the characters, for example, \\ and \".
engine	String	Yes	Cache engine. Value: Redis.
engine_version	String	Yes	Cache engine version. If the cache engine is Redis, the value can be 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, or 6.0.
spec_code	String	No	DCS instance specification code. To obtain the value, go to the instance creation page on the DCS console, and view Flavor Name in the Instance Specification table.
capacity	Float	Yes	Cache capacity. Unit: GB. For a single-node or master/standby DCS Redis 3.0 instance, the value can be 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64. For a Proxy Cluster DCS Redis 3.0 instance, the value can be 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024. For a single-node or master/standby DCS Redis 4.0 or later instance, the value can be 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 24, 48, or 64. For a cluster DCS Redis instance, the value can be 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 512, 768, or 1024.
no_password_access	String	Yes	An indicator of whether a DCS instance can be accessed in password-free mode. true: indicates that a DCS instance can be accessed without a password. false: indicates that a DCS instance can be accessed only after password authentication. Default value: false.
password	String	No	Password of a DCS instance. Note If no_password_access is set to false or not set, the request must contain the password parameter. The password of a DCS Redis instance must meet the following complexity requirements: Must be a string consisting of 8 to 64 characters. Must be different from the old password. Contains at least three of the following character types: Lowercase letters Uppercase letters Digits Special characters (`~!@#$^&*()-_=+\\|{},<.>/?)
vpc_id	String	Yes	VPC ID. Obtain the value by using either of the following methods: Method 1: Log in to VPC console and view the VPC ID in the VPC details. Method 2: Call the API for querying VPCs. For details, see the "Querying VPCs" section in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
security_group_id	String	Yes	ID of the security group which the instance belongs to. This parameter is mandatory when the engine is Redis and engine_version is 3.0. DCS Redis 3.0 instances support security group access control. This parameter is optional when the engine is Redis and engine_version is 4.0 or 5.0. DCS Redis 4.0 and 5.0 instances do not support security groups. Obtain the value by using either of the following methods: Method 1: Log in to the VPC console and view the security group ID on the security group details page. Method 2: Call the API for querying security groups. For details, see the "Querying Security Groups" section in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
subnet_id	String	Yes	Network ID of the subnet. Obtain the value by using either of the following methods: Method 1: Log in to VPC console and click the target subnet on the Subnets tab page. You can view the network ID on the displayed page. Method 2: Call the API for querying subnets. For details, see the "Querying Subnets" section in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
available_zones	Array	Yes	ID of the AZ where the cache node resides and which has available resources. For details on how to obtain the value, see Querying AZ Information. Check whether the AZ has available resources. Master/Standby, Proxy Cluster, and Redis Cluster DCS instances support cross-AZ deployment. You can specify an AZ for the standby node. When specifying AZs for nodes, use commas (,) to separate multiple AZs. For details, see the example request.
product_id	String	Yes	ID of the product that can be created. For details, see Querying Service Specifications. The parameter value is in the format of spec_code-Abbreviation of the billing mode. The abbreviation of the billing mode can only be h, indicating pay-per-use. For example, redis.single.au1.large.1-h indicates a pay-per-use product whose specification code is redis.single.au1.large.1. Note When obtaining the product ID from the product specifications, ensure that the billing mode specified in the product ID is the same as the selected billing mode. For example, to buy a master/standby DCS Redis 3.0 instance billed in pay-per-use mode, you can search for the product ID corresponding to the record whose charging_type is Hourly and spec_code is dcs.master_standby in the response message.
instance_backup_policy	Object	No	Backup policy. This parameter is available for master/standby and cluster DCS instances. For details, see Table 3 and Table 4.
enable_publicip	Boolean	No	An indicator of whether to enable public access for a DCS Redis instance. true: enable. false: disable.
publicip_id	String	No	ID of the elastic IP address bound to a DCS Redis instance. This parameter is mandatory if public access is enabled (that is, enable_publicip is set to true).
enable_ssl	Boolean	No	An indicator of whether to enable SSL for public access to a DCS Redis instance. true: enable. false: disable.
maintain_begin	String	No	Time at which the maintenance time window starts. Format: hh:mm:ss. The start time and end time of the maintenance time window must indicate the time segment of a supported maintenance time window. For details on how to query the time segments of supported maintenance time windows, see Querying Maintenance Time Window. The start time must be set to 22:00:00, 02:00:00, 06:00:00, 10:00:00, 14:00:00, or 18:00: 00. Parameters maintain_begin and maintain_end must be set in pairs. If parameter maintain_start is left blank, parameter maintain_end is also blank. In this case, the system automatically set the start time to 02:00:00.
maintain_end	String	No	Time at which the maintenance time window ends. Format: hh:mm:ss. The start time and end time of the maintenance time window must indicate the time segment of a supported maintenance time window. For details on how to query the time segments of supported maintenance time windows, see Querying Maintenance Time Window. The end time is four hours later than the start time. For example, if the start time is 22:00:00, the end time is 02:00:00. Parameters maintain_begin and maintain_end must be set in pairs. If parameter maintain_end is left blank, parameter maintain_start is also blank. In this case, the system automatically set the end time to 06:00:00.
enterprise_project_id	String	No	Enterprise project ID.
enterprise_project_name	String	No	Enterprise project name.
instance_num	Integer	No	Number of instances to be created in batches. Default value: 1. Value range: 1-100.
private_ips	Array of strings	No	IP address that is manually specified for a DCS instance.
port	Integer	No	Port customization , which is supported only by Redis 4.0 and later instances and not by Redis 3.0 instances. If this parameter is not sent or is left empty when you create a Redis instance, the default port 6379 will be used. To customize a port, specify a port number in the range from 1 to 65535.
rename_commands	Object	No	Critical command renaming , which is supported only by Redis 4.0 and later instances and not by Redis 3.0 instances. If this parameter is not sent or is left empty when you create a Redis instance, no critical command will be renamed. Currently, you can rename the COMMAND, KEYS, FLUSHDB, FLUSHALL, HGETALL, SCAN, HSCAN, SSCAN, and ZSCAN commands.

**Table 3** instance_backup_policy parameter description¶
Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
save_days	Integer	No	This parameter is mandatory when backup_type is set to manual. Retention period. Unit: day. Value range: 1-7.
backup_type	String	No	Backup type. Options: auto: automatic backup. manual: manual backup. The default value is manual.
periodical_backup_plan	Object	Yes	Backup plan. For details, see Table 4.

**Table 4** periodical_backup_plan parameter description¶
Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
begin_at	String	Yes	Time at which backup starts. "00:00-01:00" indicates that backup starts at 00:00:00.
period_type	String	Yes	Interval at which backup is performed. Currently, only weekly backup is supported.
backup_at	Array	Yes	Day in a week on which backup starts. Value range: 1-7, where 1 indicates Monday and 7 indicates Sunday.
