Yotilla Portal

This section describes how to use the Yotilla portal, which is where you create and manage instances of the Yotilla application.

Create a Yotilla Instance

  1. On the Yotilla portal, click on Add instance to add your first instance.

  2. Enter a name for the new instance and choose the AWS region where it should be created.

    If you are unsure, choose the AWS region that is geographically closest to where your target system is located.

  3. Click on Create. The new Yotilla instance will be created on AWS.

    In the portal, the instance will be in Provisioning state while it is being created. The creation process will take a few minutes to complete.

Manage Instances

You can create more instances as needed by clicking on Add instance. The total number of business attributes used in all instances is displayed at the top of the Portal page. The maximum number of business attributes that you can create on your instances is limited by your subscription plan. For more information, see Pricing and the Yotilla subscription page on AWS Marketplace.

Each instance shows its current state and the AWS region where it is deployed. To see more details about an instance, click on the icon icon.

Delete Instance

To permanently delete an instance, select Delete instance from the dropdown menu. In the dialog that opens, enter the exact name of the instance to confirm that you really want to remove it, then click on Delete.

Deleting an instance will permanently delete all data in the instance. This operation cannot be undone.

The data in the data warehouse on the target system will not be deleted when you delete the Yotilla instance. The data will however no longer be updated, and you will not be able to connect to it using a different instance.
