Activate FPT Database Engine service

Activating FPT Database Engine initializes the backend components that database clusters run on. You do this once per VPC, before anyone on your team can provision a cluster.

Activation and deactivation change database availability for the whole VPC, so grant these permissions only to high-privilege roles such as Tenant Admin or Cloud Platform Admin.

Required permissions​

Activation takes approximately 8 to 10 minutes. When it finishes, the service status changes to Active and you can create a database.

Deactivate the service​

Deactivating blocks every create and manage operation in the selected VPC.
