The Overview page provides guidance on the operation process of the ApsaraDB for OceanBase console and provides information such as resource overview, capacity diagnostics, and SQL diagnostics.
Concepts
ApsaraDB for OceanBase provides two types of database instances: cluster instances and tenant instances.
Cluster instance: In ApsaraDB for OceanBase, a cluster instance is a set of resources required for running OceanBase Database. The cluster instance is associated with several server nodes and cloud resources such as a virtual private cloud (VPC).
Tenant instance: A tenant instance is a separate computing resource that you can obtain after a tenant is virtually isolated in a large cluster based on the unique tenant isolation technology of ApsaraDB for OceanBase. You can create a database in a tenant instance and create tables in the database to independently provide services for upper-layer apps.
For the differences between a cluster instance and a tenant instance, see Instance types.
