Overview

The following chapter provides practical instructions about the available container and instance resource actions - starting with initial activities like creating a postgreSQL container and a database instance, as well as modifying an existing service.

The following table shows the resource actions on level container and instance. The column "Day-2 Action" indicates what actions can be applied on an existing container or instance.

*) Day-2 actions marked with a (!) require a re-start of the Container or the Instance to take effect.

**) If you disable backup encryption the existing backups are no longer accessible and the retention starts from zero.

Entry point for container level resource actions is the container actions dropdown list.

Entry point for instance level resource actions is the instance actions dropdown list.
