Keep DigitalOcean Database Options Ready for Planning

Get a fresh reference for database engines, versions, regions, and sizes before a provisioning decision reaches your plate.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

List Database Options

Tool to list valid database engine, version, region, and size options. use when configuring a new managed database cluster.

Why this helps

Planning a managed database can stall when someone has to stop and look up the valid configuration options first.

  • Keep supported database options easy to find.
  • Reduce lookup work when a new cluster is being planned.
  • Provide a recurring reference in your chosen report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve valid database engines, versions, regions, and sizes and summarize them.
  • 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one run and check that the returned options are clear.

Questions about this workflow

Does retrieving options create a database cluster?

No. It only retrieves valid configuration options. Creating a cluster is a separate action that requires a name, engine, version, region, size, and node count.

Are these options a guarantee that a cluster can be provisioned in every combination?

Use the returned options when planning and confirm the specific configuration details before requesting cluster creation.
