Confirm that your data has been successfully migrated and is accessible. + +2. Configure your application to use the new service: + + 1. Update your application's configuration files or environment variables to point to the new 3-AZ database service's connection string (host, port, username, password). + 2. Restart your application to apply the changes. + 3. Thoroughly test your application's functionality to ensure it operates correctly with the new database endpoint. + +### Clean up + +Once you've fully validated that your application is working correctly with the new 3-AZ database service, and you're confident all data has been transferred and is accessible, you can proceed with deleting the old 1-AZ service. + +This step is crucial to avoid unnecessary costs and maintain a clean infrastructure. + +Follow these instructions to delete the old 1-AZ service: + +> [!tabs] +> Via the OVHcloud Control Panel +>> Navigate to your list of database services, click on the `...`{.action} button on the service line and click on the `Delete`{.action} button to permanently delete the service. +>> +>> ![databases - delete the 1-AZ service](images/databases_delete_1az.png) +>> +> Via the OVHcloud API +>> To delete your service, use the following API call: +>> +>> > [!api] +>> > +>> > @api {v1} /cloud DEL /cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/postgresql/{clusterId} +>> > +>> + +## We want your feedback! + +We would love to help answer questions and appreciate any feedback you may have. + +If you need training or technical assistance to implement our solutions, contact your sales representative or click on [this link](/links/professional-services) to get a quote and ask our Professional Services experts for a custom analysis of your project. + +Are you on Discord?
