Choose a Storage Size, Software Version, and IOPS
Using the preset options, 100 GB for storage and the latest version of MariaDB Xpand on SkySQL should be fine.
If you are using AWS as your cloud provider, you will also need to make a choice on IOPS. The preset option is fine for that choice too.
Specify storage size, software version, and IOPS (AWS only) to meet your requirements.
