How-to guides

Users can create the service by entering the required information for EPAS (DBaaS) and selecting detailed options through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.

Cloud Monitoring 서비스 종료 안내

According to Samsung Cloud Platform’s policy, the Cloud Monitoring service is scheduled to be discontinued.

Accordingly, services whose monitoring metrics are linked in Cloud Monitoring will no longer be able to monitor resources through Cloud Monitoring after the service improvement work in November 2026.
After that, resource monitoring can be continuously performed through the ServiceWatch service released in October 2025.

To ensure smooth service usage, proceed with the migration work according to the service termination schedule below.

  1. Resource-Specific Monitoring Service Application Guide

    • New Resources: Resources created after the July 2026 service improvement work are provided with default monitoring using the ServiceWatch service.
    • Existing resources: After the service improvement work in September 2026 We provide monitoring concurrently through Cloud Monitoring and ServiceWatch services
    • During the parallel service operation period, we need to prepare for the Servicewatch transition. *
      Performance and log data backup, the settings configured by the user linked with existing Cloud Monitoring (e.g. Verify the event policies, etc., and perform tasks such as resetting the ServiceWatch service, then complete them.
  2. Notice of the phased termination schedule for the Cloud Monitoring service

    • Console menu termination (September 2026 service improvement work)
      • You cannot access the Cloud Monitoring Console through the Console menu; you can only connect via the separate URLs for each region listed below.
  • Service termination (service improvement work in November 2026)
    • All services of Cloud Monitoring, including the API, will be permanently terminated.
      • After the service ends in November, Cloud Monitoring data cannot be viewed. * Be sure to complete the ServiceWatch migration work within the parallel operation period**.

Detailed information about ServiceWatch can be found in the ServiceWatch 개요.

Create EPAS (DBaaS)

You can create and use the EPAS (DBaaS) service from the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.

안내
  • 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.
  • This service is provided on a Single-AZ basis.

To create EPAS (DBaaS), follow the steps below.

  1. All Services > Database > EPAS(DBaaS) Click the menu. 1. Navigate to the Service Home page of EPAS (DBaaS).

  2. On the Service Home page, click the EPAS(DBaaS) Create button. 2. Go to the Create EPAS (DBaaS) page.

  3. On the Create EPAS (DBaaS) page, enter the information required to create the service and select detailed options.

4 - EPAS (DBaaS) server connection

Scenario Overview

EPAS(DBaaS) Server Connection scenario creates a Bastion host (Virtual Server) and a Database service, and accesses the DB service through the Bastion host. To reliably connect to EPAS (DBaaS) in the Samsung Cloud Platform environment, you need to create a Bastion host and establish a network connection using it. To maintain stability and a high level of security, we recommend configuring the Database service in a Private Subnet environment and setting up the Bastion host in a restricted Public Subnet environment.

This scenario primarily describes creating a Bastion host and Database service, configuring the network environment for Bastion host and Database access, and connecting through a DB client.

  • Since the default policy of the Security Group is Deny All, you must register only the allowed IPs.
  • The All Open (Any IP, Any Port) policy for In/Outbound can expose cloud resources directly to external threats.
    • By specifying the required IP and Port and setting a policy, you can strengthen security.
