Creating a postgres data service#

To create a PostgreSQL data service you need a service location. Creating a network resource is optional: if you do not create one, Ametnes manages network access for the location — a shared load balancer publishes the endpoints for the services deployed there — so you create the service and connect. Create your own only if you want to control exposure (see Network Access Resources).

For the full walkthrough, see Provisioning PostgreSQL.

Create the postgres data service#

In the Ametnes Cloud console;

  1. Navigate to the Services left menu.
  2. Click New Service.
  3. Enter Name: PostgresService.
  4. Select Kind: PostgreSQL 17.6 Service.
  5. Select the Location: your data service location. Leave Network unset to let Ametnes manage it.
  6. Set the Admin Password for the postgres user.
  7. Click Create Service and wait for the status ready.

resource "ametnes_service" "service" {
  name        = "PostgresService"
  project     = ametnes_project.project.id
  location    = data.ametnes_location.location.id
  kind        = "service/postgres:17.6"
  nodes       = 1
  capacity {
    storage = 10
  }
  config = {
    "architecture"   = "Starter"
    "admin.password" = "change-me"
  }
}

output "service_connections" {
  value = ametnes_service.service.connections
}

Connect#

Use the connections returned by the service — see the connect section of the provisioning tutorial.
