Manual renewal

Manual renewal is defined as the renewal mode by default, and tailored to the scenario in which the RDS is put into initial use and renewal is operated by OPS staff on schedule. Weaknesses of manual renewal include monthly operation to manual renewal, complicated operations, and interruption of instance services or data loss likely resulting from the negligence of renewal.

1. Manual renewal supports three ways for now, as detailed below:

Way 1: Enter the “RDS - Instance List” page, and select “Renew” in “RDS - Instance List”.

Automated renewal

The automated renewal is tailored to the scenario in which the RDS is put into long-term use. And, its strengths include convenient operation, prevention against data deletion resulting from the negligence of renewal, and higher security.
