    Relational Database A database that organizes data into related tables based on the relational data model.
    Non-relational Database A database that does not use the relational table model, commonly used for scalable and flexible data storage.
    Virtual CPU (vCPU) A virtualized processing unit allocated to cloud compute resources.
    RAM Volatile memory allocated to cloud workloads for runtime operations.
    Storage Disk A storage resource used to persist data in cloud environments.
    Compute Processing resources including CPU and memory used to run workloads.
    Flavor A predefined combination of compute resources (vCPU, RAM) for a database instance.
    Cloud Computing A computing model that delivers IT resources (compute, storage, network) on demand over the Internet.
    Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) A managed database service that allows users to consume databases without managing underlying infrastructure.
    Managed Database A database service where the provider handles provisioning, operations, maintenance, and backups.
    Region A geographical area containing one isolated infrastructure.
    Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) A virtual network isolating cloud resources at the tenant level.
    Subnet A segment of the VPC that provides IP address ranges for resources.
    CIDR The IP range notation used to define a subnet.
    Static IP Pool A reserved set of IPs within a subnet that can be statically allocated.

    Database Architecture & Deployment Terms

    Term Definition
    Database Instance A single running database instance on allocated resources.
    Database Cluster A group of database instances working together to provide high availability and scalability.
    Primary Node The node responsible for handling write operations.
    Standby / Replica A node that replicates data from the primary for redundancy or read operations.
    Read Replica A replica optimized for read queries.
    Failover The process of switching to a standby node when a failure occurs.
    High Availability (HA) An architecture designed to ensure continuous operation with minimal downtime.
    Database Proxy An intermediary component that routes application connections to appropriate database instances.
