# Manage EMQX Tables Deployments

This guide covers how to manage your EMQX Tables deployments in the EMQX Console, including:

- Network Management
- Monitoring resource usage
- Deleting a deployment

::: tip Prerequisite

You must have an active EMQX Tables deployment created in your project. See [Create an EMQX Tables Deployment](./emqx_tables_create_deployment.md) for setup instructions.

:::

## Network Management

EMQX Tables allows you to securely access your deployment using AWS PrivateLink. This is particularly useful when you want to establish a private connection between your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and EMQX Tables without exposing traffic to the public internet.

To configure AWS PrivateLink for your deployment:

1. Click **Network Management** from the left menu in your EMQX Tables deployment.
2. Click **+ PrivateLink**.
3. Follow the instructions in the **Guidelines** dialogue to create a VPC endpoint in your AWS Console.
4. Paste the **Endpoint ID** and click **Create PrivateLink**.

## Monitor Resource Usage

To monitor the resource usage and performance of your EMQX Tables deployment:

1. Enter your EMQX Tables deployment from the Console **Overview** page, or from your project page.
2. In the left menu of the EMQX Tables deployment, click **Monitor**.

The **Monitor** page displays real-time and historical metrics, including:

| Metric                        | Description                                                  |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **CPU usage (%)**             | Current and historical CPU utilization                       |
| **Memory usage (GB)**         | RAM consumption of your deployment                           |
| **Storage (GB)**              | Compressed data size stored                                  |
| **Egress Traffic (GB)**       | Data transferred out from EMQX Tables                        |
| **WCU** (Write Capacity Unit) | One WCU can handle one standard insert request (up to 1 KB in size) per second. This metric helps evaluate ingestion performance. |
| **RCU** (Read Capacity Unit)  | Measures read throughput. Like WCU, it reflects operational performance |

You can view data over various time ranges: 1 Hour, 1 Day, 3 Days, 7 Days, 1 Month, and 3 Months.

## Delete a Deployment

To remove an EMQX Tables deployment:

1. Go to **Deployment Settings** in the left menu.
2. Click **Delete Deployment**.
3. Confirm the operation in the prompt.

::: tip **Warning**

Deletion is permanent. All data and credentials will be lost.
