Abstract

Claims (41)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions stored thereon for provisioning a database, wherein the computer-readable instructions when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

receive a first selection of a database engine and software version for a database to be provisioned;

receive a second selection of a cloud and region for the database to be provisioned;

receive a third selection of a performance standard for the database to be provisioned;

receive a fourth selection of a connectivity configuration for the database to be provisioned;

receive a fifth selection of a recovery point objective service level for the database to be provisioned; and

provision the database based on the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection,

wherein the computer-readable instructions cause the one or more processors to create an instance of a database protection system to protect the database based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.

2 . The non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to deploy an agent to the database to protect the database based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.

3 . The non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to receive the third selection of the performance standard for the database to be provisioned from one or more standardized profiles for the selected database engine.

4 . The non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to receive a sixth selection of a service configuration including whether a password is used to access the database.

5 . The non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to receive a sixth selection indicating whether the database is to be provisioned as a high-availability database.

6 . The non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to display a sequence of user interfaces to receive the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.

7 . A database management system comprising:

one or more memories having computer-readable instructions stored thereon to provision a database; and

one or more processors that execute the computer-readable instructions to:

receive a first selection of a database engine and software version for a database to be provisioned;

receive a second selection of a cloud and region for the database to be provisioned;

receive a third selection of a performance standard for the database to be provisioned;

receive a fourth selection of a connectivity configuration for the database to be provisioned;

receive a fifth selection of a recovery point objective service level for the database to be provisioned; and

provision the database based on the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection,

wherein the computer-readable instructions cause the one or more processors to create an instance of a database protection system to protect the database based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to deploy an agent to the database to protect the database based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.

9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to receive the third selection of the performance standard for the database to be provisioned from one or more standardized profiles for the selected database engine.

10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to receive a sixth selection of a service configuration including whether a password is used to access the database.

11 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to receive a sixth selection indicating whether the database is to be provisioned as a high-availability database.

12 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to display a sequence of user interfaces to receive the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.

13 . A method comprising:

receiving a first selection of a database engine and software profile for a database to be provisioned;

receiving a second selection of a cloud location for the database to be provisioned;

receiving a third selection of a compute profile for the database to be provisioned;

receiving a fourth selection of a network profile for the database to be provisioned;

receiving a fifth selection of a protection level for the database to be provisioned;

provisioning the database based on the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection; and

creating an instance of a database protection system to protect the database based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising deploying an agent to the database to protect the database based on one or more of the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.

15 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising receiving the third selection of the compute profile for the database to be provisioned from one or more standardized profiles for the selected database engine.

16 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising receiving a sixth selection of a password parameter indicating whether a password is used to access the database.

17 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising receiving a sixth selection indicating whether multiple instances of the database are to be provisioned.

18 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising displaying a sequence of user interfaces to receive the first selection, the second selection, the third selection, the fourth selection, and the fifth selection.
