How to remove a public endpoint

Reviewed on January 04, 2025

When you create a Database Instance, a public endpoint is automatically attributed to it.

For Read Replicas, you can choose whether they take on a public or private endpoint.

If you are using a public endpoint with your Database Instances or Read Replicas, you can remove them anytime in the Scaleway console.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

• A Scaleway account logged into the console
• A PostgreSQL or MySQL Database Instance

1. Click PostgreSQL and MySQL under Databases on the side menu. A list of your Database Instances displays.

4. Scroll to the Network section.

5. Click Remove next to Public endpoint. A pop-up appears.
