Getting Started
First steps
Create an account
Navigate to the Aerospike Cloud signup page. You can sign up with either a Google account or with an email address and password.
Create an organization
Your organization allows you to grant access privileges to other users. The organization name can be 3-100 characters long. Once an organization is created, the name cannot be changed.
Create a database
Each organization receives a free 14-day trial of Aerospike Cloud. If you want to activate the free trial, you can do that now. If you'd rather go straight to purchasing a service agreement, follow these steps.
Click Create Database.
Select either Hourly for hourly billing or Free Trial to create a test database.
Specify database details.
Choose a name for your database. The database name can be 1-100 characters long.
Choose a cloud provider and region to host your database.
For hourly billing databases, select a storage option. Storage options have different capacities for transactions per second (TPS) and peak reads/writes per second.
The selected capacity determines the monthly base price. Storage and transaction usage is billed at the end of the month based on actual usage.
Click Continue to billing for hourly billing databases or Create Database for free trial databases.
Enter your billing information.
Click Create Database in the lower-right corner.
The new database appears in your list of databases along with its status. New databases take about 10-15 minutes to launch. When the status changes to
Running
, the database is ready.
Create an API key
API keys authenticate users for database access.
From your list of databases, select the database for the API key.
Select API Keys from the center navigation.
Click New API Key.
Enter a name for the key and click Generate Key.
The new key's secret appears in the dialog box. Copy it and store it in a safe place. If you lose the key secret, there is no way to retrieve it; you must delete the key and generate a new one.
