Virtual Cluster

Premium plan feature

Virtual Cluster requires the Premium plan. To upgrade, see Plans.

A virtual cluster pairs two physical clusters as active and standby across availability zones. On a failure in the active AZ, VeloDB Cloud automatically fails over to the standby cluster. Real-time data synchronization ensures continuity and prevents data loss.

Prerequisites

Before creating a virtual cluster, ensure you have:

• Two physical clusters in Running state
• The two clusters located in different availability zones

Create a virtual cluster

1. Open the Virtual Cluster page and click New Virtual Cluster.

   

2. Fill in the configuration:

   

   Parameter	Description
   Virtual Cluster Name	Must start with a letter; up to 32 characters; letters, digits, and underscores.
   Active Cluster	The cluster actively serving traffic.
   Standby Cluster	The cluster that takes over on failover. Identical specifications to the active cluster are recommended.

3. Click Confirm to create the virtual cluster. Once created, it appears as a card on the Virtual Cluster overview page.

Manage a virtual cluster

Click a virtual cluster card to open its detail page.

From the detail page you can:

• Switch active/standby — Promote the standby cluster to active. Use this for planned maintenance or to restore the original assignment after a failover.
• Delete — Remove the virtual cluster. This does not delete the underlying physical clusters.
