Manage Clusters

Clusters are compute groups within a VeloDB Cloud warehouse. A paid warehouse can contain multiple clusters, allowing you to isolate workloads such as data ingestion and customer-facing reporting while they share the warehouse's stored data. Each cluster has its own compute resources, cache resources, and cached data.

To open the Clusters page:

1. Log in to the VeloDB Cloud console.
2. In the upper-left corner, select the warehouse to manage.
3. In the left navigation pane, under Compute, click Clusters.

Use the following guides to manage the cluster lifecycle and its resources.

Create a cluster

• Create a cluster to add compute capacity for a workload.

Operate a cluster

• View cluster details to review and edit a cluster's configuration.
• Create and manage a virtual cluster to pair clusters across availability zones for automatic failover.
• Pause and resume a cluster to stop idle compute and resume it when needed.
• Reboot a cluster when you need to restart its compute resources.
• Delete a cluster when its compute resources are no longer required.

Scale a cluster

• Scale a cluster manually, on a schedule, or automatically as workload demand changes.
• Manage Frontend Groups to view and scale Frontend resources for query planning and metadata workloads.
• Configure Workload Groups to control how queries share resources within a cluster.
• Manage warmup jobs to prepare cached data for workloads that need it.
