Managed MySQL Database Create
POST
https://api.linode.com/v4/databases/mysql/instances
This command is currently only available for customers who already have an active Managed Database.
Provision a Managed MySQL Database.
Restricted Users must have the add_databases grant to use this command.
New instances can take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to provision.
The allow_list is used to control access to the Managed Database.
IP addresses and ranges in this list can access the Managed Database. All other sources are blocked.
If 0.0.0.0/0 is a value in this list, then all IP addresses can access the Managed Database.
Entering an empty array ([]) blocks all connections (both public and private) to the Managed Database.
All Managed Databases include automatic, daily backups. Up to seven backups are automatically stored for each Managed Database, providing restore points for each day of the past week.
All Managed Databases include automatic patch updates, which apply security patches and updates to the underlying operating system of the Managed MySQL Database during configurable maintenance windows.
If your database cluster is configured with a single node, you will experience downtime during this maintenance window when any updates occur. It’s recommended that you adjust this window to match a time that will be the least disruptive for your application and users. You may also want to consider upgrading to a high availability plan to avoid any downtime due to maintenance.
The database software is not updated automatically. To upgrade to a new database engine version, consider deploying a new Managed Database with your preferred version. You can then
migrate your databases from the original Managed Database cluster to the new one.
This command is currently only available for customers who already have an active Managed Database.
Remove a Managed MySQL Database from your Account.
Requires read_write access to the Database.
The Database must have an active, failed, or degraded status to perform this command.
Only unrestricted Users can access this command, and have access regardless of the acting token’s OAuth scopes.

Managed MySQL Database Update
PUT
https://api.linode.com/v4/databases/mysql/instances/{instanceId}
This command is currently only available for customers who already have an active Managed Database.
Update a Managed MySQL Database.
Requires read_write access to the Database.
The Database must have an active status to perform this command.
Updating addresses in the allow_list overwrites any existing addresses.
IP addresses and ranges in this list can access the Managed Database. All other sources are blocked.
If 0.0.0.0/0 is a value in this list, then all IP addresses can access the Managed Database.
Entering an empty array ([]) blocks all connections (both public and private) to the Managed Database.
Note: Updates to the allow_list may take a short period of time to complete, making this command inappropriate for rapid successive updates to this property.
All Managed Databases include automatic patch updates, which apply security patches and updates to the underlying operating system of the Managed MySQL Database. The maintenance window for these updates is configured with the Managed Database’s updates property.
If your database cluster is configured with a single node, you will experience downtime during this maintenance window when any updates occur. It’s recommended that you adjust this window to match a time that will be the least disruptive for your application and users.

Request Body Schema
allow_list
array
of strings
A list of IP addresses that can access the Managed Database. Each item can be a single IP address or a range in CIDR format.
By default, this is an empty array ([]), which blocks all connections (both public and private) to the Managed Database.
If 0.0.0.0/0 is a value in this list, then all IP addresses can access the Managed Database.
label
string
3..32
characters
A unique, user-defined string referring to the Managed Database.
type
string
Request re-sizing of your cluster to a Linode Type with more disk space. For example, you could request a Linode Type that uses a higher plan.
Needs to be a Linode Type with more disk space than your current Linode.
Resizing to a larger Linode Type can accrue additional cost. Review the price output in the
Types List operation for more information.
You can’t update the allow_list and set a new type in the same request.
Any active updates to your cluster need to complete before you can request a resize. The reverse is also true: An active resizing needs to complete before you can perform any other update.
