Create MaxCompute Data Source

NineData lets you manage data sources across types and environments in one console. After you add a MaxCompute data source, it is available to supported features such as Database DevOps, Backup and Restore, Data Replication, and Data Comparison. This guide explains how to add an Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute data source to NineData.

Before you begin​

  • 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.
