# Create a {{{ .byoc }}} Instance
Comment thread
lilin90 marked this conversation as resolved.

This document describes how to create a {{{ .byoc }}} instance in the [TiDB Cloud console](https://tidbcloud.com/).

TiDB Cloud BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) keeps the control plane in TiDB Cloud while deploying the data plane in your own cloud account. Before you create a BYOC instance, your organization must complete BYOC onboarding and prepare the target cloud environment.

> **Note:**
>
> To learn how to create a {{{ .premium }}} instance, see [Create a {{{ .premium }}} Instance](/tidb-cloud/premium/create-tidb-instance-premium.md).

## Before you begin

If you do not have a TiDB Cloud account, click [here](https://tidbcloud.com/signup) to sign up for an account.

Before you create a BYOC instance, make sure that the following requirements are met:

- You have the required organization or project role to create TiDB Cloud resources.
- Your organization has completed the prerequisite BYOC setup for the target cloud provider and region, including the required cloud account permissions. For AWS, this includes the IAM roles required by TiDB Cloud to deploy and manage BYOC resources in your AWS account.

If your BYOC environment is not ready, the **Bring Your Own Cloud** tab is not displayed on the **Create Resource** page. To enable BYOC for your organization, contact your TiDB Cloud account team or [TiDB Cloud Support](/tidb-cloud/tidb-cloud-support.md).

## Steps

If you have the required permissions, you can create a {{{ .byoc }}} instance as follows:

1. In the [TiDB Cloud console](https://tidbcloud.com/tidbs), navigate to the [**My TiDB**](https://tidbcloud.com/tidbs) page, and then click **Create Resource** in the upper-right corner.

2. On the **Create Resource** page, click the **Bring Your Own Cloud** tab.

3. Confirm that **BYOC** is selected as your plan.

BYOC is powered by TiDB X and is designed for large-scale production workloads. It lets you run the data plane in your own cloud account while using TiDB Cloud for automated operations, elastic scalability, and enterprise-grade security.

4. In the **Basic Settings** area, enter a name for your {{{ .byoc }}} instance, and then choose a cloud provider and a region where you want to host your instance.

5. (Optional) To group this {{{ .byoc }}} instance in a project for management, select the target project for the instance.

6. In the **Capacity** area, set the maximum number of Request Capacity Units (RCUs) for your instance. RCUs represent the compute resources provisioned for your workload. TiDB Cloud automatically scales your instance within this range based on demand.

7. For {{{ .byoc }}} instances, the high availability mode is determined by the BYOC deployment configuration. If your BYOC environment is deployed in Regional mode, the instance uses Regional high availability. If your BYOC environment is deployed in Zonal mode, the instance uses Zonal high availability. The high availability mode is not configurable when you create an instance. For more information, see [High Availability](/tidb-cloud/serverless-high-availability.md).

This step contains multiple passive voice constructions ("is determined", "is deployed", "is not configurable"). Rephrasing to active voice and using the second person ("you") improves clarity and readability.

To make the sentence more active and address the user directly, rephrase "the selected region" to "the region... you select".
