Parameter description

**Table 2** Parameter description
Name	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	Yes	String	Specifies the DB instance name. Instance name, which can be the same as an existing name. The instance name must contain 4 to 64 characters and must start with a letter. It is case sensitive and can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). It cannot contain other special characters.

region	Yes	String	Specifies the region ID. The value cannot be empty. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see Regions and Endpoints.
availability_zone	Yes	String	Specifies the AZ ID. You can select multiple AZs to create a cross-AZ cluster based on az_status returned by the API described in Querying Database Specifications. The value cannot be empty. For details about how to obtain this parameter value, see Regions and Endpoints.

The value must be 8 to 32 characters in length and contain uppercase letters (A to Z), lowercase letters (a to z), digits (0 to 9), and special characters, such as ~!@#%^*-_=+? Enter a strong password to improve security, preventing security risks such as brute force cracking.
disk_encryption_id	No	String	The key ID used for disk encryption. The string must comply with UUID regular expression rules. If this parameter is not transferred, disk encryption is not performed.
mode	Yes	String	Specifies the instance type. Cluster, replica set, and single node instances are supported. Valid value: Sharding ReplicaSet Single NOTE: The version 5.0 does not support single node instances.
