Configure Connection for Your Federated Database Instance

You must configure the type of connection for your federated database instance. You can set up a Standard connection or a Private endpoint to connect to your federated database instance.

For this tutorial, configure a standard connection. To complete this part of the tutorial, you must first Deploy a Federated Database Instance.

Procedure

To configure the type of connection:

Open the Connect dialog.

Click the Connect button for your federated database instance.

Choose the type of connection that you wish to configure.

You can choose one of the following options:

Standard connection - to configure this type of connection, you must do the following:
1. Add Your IP Address to the IP Access List
2. Create a Database User for Your Federated Database Instance
Private endpoint - to configure this type of connection, you must do the following:
1. Set Up a Private Endpoint for a Federated Database Instance
2. Create a Database User for Your Federated Database Instance

Note

If you specify 0.0.0.0 in your project IP access list, Atlas will accept all connections including those over PrivateLink.

Next Steps

Now that you've configured a standard connection, connect to your federated database instance.
