Warehouse Management
In VeloDB Cloud, the warehouse is a logical concept that includes physical objects such as warehouse metadata, clusters, and data storage.
Under each organization, you can create multiple warehouses to meet the needs of different business systems, and the resources and data between these warehouses are isolated.
Create Warehouse
A wizard page will be displayed if the organization does not have a warehouse. You can create the first warehouse following the prompts.
You can choose to Activate Trial Warehouse for a free trial or New Warehouse for a production environment.
- Each organization gets a 7-day free trial. The trial warehouse is only applicable to the feature experience in the small-scale data volume scenario. In the trial warehouse, you cannot create new clusters, scale the trial cluster, etc. After upgrading it to the paid warehouse, you can use all the features.
- If you choose to start a new paid warehouse directly, that means you have given up the free trial opportunity for the current organization and you may not create a trial warehouse in the future. The fee will be incurred when a new warehouse is started. Paid warehouses are suitable for production environments with complex workload requirements.
Activate Trial Warehouse
Click Activate Trial Warehouse to enter the following page.
After setting the parameters, click Create.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Warehouse Name | Required. Unique within the organization, no more than 32 characters in length, supports English letters, Chinese, numbers, -, _, and the combination of them. |
| Warehouse Mode | Select the service delivery mode, supporting SaaS (Software as a Service) and BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud). |
| Cloud Platform | Select the cloud platform where you want to create the data warehouse. Currently, VeloDB Cloud supports AWS, and will soon support HUAWEI CLOUD, GCP and Azure. |
| Region | Select the region where you want to deploy the data warehouse. To avoid the complexity of cross-regional communication and reduce latency, we recommend that you choose the same region where your application/client is located. If your required region is not among the options, please contact us (opens in a new tab) to apply. |
| Zone | Select the zone where you want to deploy the data warehouse. It is recommended to choose the same zone as that of your application/client. VeloDB Cloud will expand its supported zones based on user needs. |
| Core Version | VeloDB Core 2.0 and the later versions support the separation of storage and computing. Storage is billed based on actual usage, and there is no need to pre-configure storage space. |
Note After confirming the activation of the trial warehouse, you can see the new warehouse in the warehouse selector. It takes about 3 minutes to complete the creation. When the status of the trial warehouse changes from "Creating" to "Running", VeloDB Cloud will automatically create a trial cluster for you, which takes about 3 minutes.

Check Warehouse Details
In the warehouse selector, you can see all the warehouses you are permitted to check.
The warehouse selector will display each warehouse's name, cloud platform, region, and status. The ticked one is your current warehouse.
Hover the cursor over a warehouse, and you will see a pop-up card, which displays the name, ID, core version, cloud platform, region, zone and organization of the warehouse.
Note
- Warehouse ID coding rules: have 8 characters, consisting of uppercase letters and numbers. The first 4 letters represent the cloud platform & region (e.g. US East (N. Virginia) of AWS, AWVA), and the last 4 letters represent the warehouse by a random combination of letters and numbers (such as X7NG).
Switch Current Warehouse
In the warehouse selector, you can scroll and find your target warehouse and switch to it by a simple click.
Upgrade to Paid Warehouse
If you want to reuse the trial warehouse's data, connections, and other configurations, you can go to the Settings page from the navigation bar on the left and click Upgrade to convert to a paid warehouse.
