Create Baidu Cloud GaiaDB-X Data Source

NineData supports adding data sources of different types and environments to the console for centralized management. After a data source is added, you can use features such as Database DevOps, Backup and Restore, Data Replication, and Data Comparison. This topic describes how to add a Baidu Cloud GaiaDB-X data source to NineData.

Prerequisites​

  • The server IP address of NineData has been added to the data source allowlist. The server IP address can be viewed by selecting the target region in Access Region on the Create Datasource page.
