Users can create the service by entering the required information for Event Streams and selecting detailed options through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.
According to the policy of Samsung Cloud Platform, the Cloud Monitoring service is scheduled to be discontinued.
Accordingly, Event Streams will no longer be able to monitor resources via Cloud Monitoring after the service improvement work in July 2026.
After that, resource monitoring can be continuously performed through the ServiceWatch service, which was released in October 2025.
- Resources created after the service improvement work in March 2026 are provided with monitoring based on the ServiceWatch service by default.
Detailed information about ServiceWatch can be found in the ServiceWatch 개요.
Create Event Streams
You can create and use the Event Streams service from the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.
- Before creating the service, configure the VPC’s Subnet type as General.
- If the subnet type is Local, the creation of the corresponding Database service is not possible.
- When loading more than 2 TB of large data, backups may take a long time or the database’s performance may degrade. * To prevent this, it is necessary to consider operational aspects such as cleaning up unnecessary data or migrating old data to a statistical collection environment.
