Key/Value Databases
enStratus Key/Value Databases (KV Databases or KVDB) are a simple solution for storing your data for high availability and scalability. With a KV database you get only what you need. You can simply query your data and return the results without having to manage different schemas for your stored data sets. You do not need to worry when storing new data because it is automatically indexed for you.
Overview:
enStratus currently supports the creation and termination of Amazon SimpleDB domains. See Amazon SimpleDB for more information and current pricing.
KV databases are large collections of data organized into separate domains. The data is stored in hash tables that contain key to value pairs. The key to value pairs are attributes that can be searched in lexicographical queries.
Creating a Key/Value Database:
To launch a new KV database in the enStratus console click on Platform > Key/Value Databases. Then click “+ add key/value database”.
In the Create Key/Value Database form you will see the different fields for creating the KVDB.
The Name field is for a custom name to associate with your database.
The Description field can be a custom description for your database.
The Label field helps you organize your KVDB instances by providing a unique color label.
Billing Code and User Group are the billing code and user group attributes that enStratus will use to track billing charges and access rights tied to the user management and billing code offerings of enStratus.
Upon save the KV database is launched. It can take up to 15 minutes to appear in the enStratus console.
Terminating Key/Value Databases:
To terminate a KVDB click actions > terminate in the Key/Value Databases table.
