A DBaaS instance moves through these states as you create, stop, start, and delete it. Its state on the DBaaS list tells you when you can connect and when billing runs.
What each state means
Section titled “What each state means”| State | When you see it |
|---|---|
| Creating | MyAccount is creating the server, right after you click Launch DBaaS. |
| Deploying | The server is up and DBaaS is setting up the database. Billing starts here. |
| Running | Ready: connect and work. |
| Restarting | Briefly, after you restart it. |
| Resuming | After you start a stopped DBaaS instance, until it is Running again. |
| Stopping | Shutting down, right after you stop it. |
| Stopped | After a stop finishes, and when a disk expansion finishes. Billing continues until you delete the DBaaS instance. |
| Upgrading | A plan change or a disk expansion is in progress. |
| Terminating | Being deleted, right after you delete it. |
| Terminated | Fully deleted. |
| Creation Failed | Creation went wrong during Creating. |
