This document introduces the preparations needed before getting started with TDMQ for MQTT, including creating an account, obtaining permissions, and preparing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) resources.
Operation Steps
1. Create a Tencent Cloud account and complete identity verification.
If you already have a Tencent Cloud account and have completed identity verification, skip this step.
2. Top up your account.
Before you create a TDMQ for MQTT cluster, make sure that your account has sufficient funds to cover the cost of purchasing the cluster. For specific steps on account top-up, see Online Top-up. If your account already has sufficient funds, skip this step.
3. Configure MQTT operation permissions for the account.
If you are using a Tencent Cloud root account, which has operation permissions on all resources by default, skip this step.
4. Create a VPC network and subnet.
Before you create a TDMQ for MQTT cluster, ensure that an available VPC network and subnet exist. For specific steps to create a VPC and subnet, refer to Creating a VPC Network and Subnet. The created VPC network and the TDMQ for MQTT cluster must be in the same region. Cloud products in different regions cannot communicate with each other via the private network. If you already have a suitable VPC network and subnet, skip this step.
5. Set up the environment.
VPC
Prepare Linux servers: This document uses Tencent Cloud Virtual Machine (CVM) as an example. For specific steps to create a CVM instance, see Purchasing a CVM Instance. Make sure that the CVM instance and TDMQ for MQTT cluster are in the same VPC. If you already have an available CVM instance, you can skip this step. Public network environment
