Configure Tencent Cloud Access Credentials

NineData uses Tencent Cloud access credentials to create private network endpoints, query required Tencent Cloud resources such as PrivateLink, CVM, CDB, and VPC, and establish private connectivity between NineData and your database.

Permission Policy

Tencent Cloud credentials must include the permissions in the policy below.
