Create A Paid Cluster

  • Capella Operational
      +
      Create a cluster to store and access data in Couchbase Capella.

      To modify options for an existing Capella cluster, see Modify a Paid Cluster.

      This section does not apply to Capella free tier operational clusters. To get started with a free tier operational cluster in Capella, see Create an Account and Deploy Your Free Tier Operational Cluster.

      Prerequisites

      • You have a project in your organization. For more information about projects, see Manage Projects.

      • You have the Project Owner or Project Manager role for that project. For more information about project roles, see Project Roles.

      • Capella allows only one free tier operational cluster per organization at any time. These clusters also have limited configuration options.

      Procedure

      To create a new cluster in a Capella project:

      1. On the Operational Clusters page, click + Create Cluster.

      2. Choose the project where you want to create your new cluster.

        To find a project or filter your list of projects, enter a project name in the Project list.

      3. Click Continue.

      4. Choose your Cluster Option to pre-configure settings for your cluster. For more information about the available cluster options, see Basic Cluster Options.

      5. Enter a Cluster Name and Description.

      6. Choose your preferred Cloud Service Provider and Region. For more information about the available Cloud Service Providers for Capella, see Cloud Service Provider, Region, and CIDR Block.

      7. Enter a CIDR Block for your cluster, or accept the default. For more information about how to configure a CIDR block, see Cloud Service Provider, Region, and CIDR Block.

        Restrict public access
        If Couchbase has given your organization access to the restrict public access feature, this option appears here. When you restrict public access, you’re restricting access to your cluster only through Capella’s private networking options. For more information, see Restrict Public Access.

      8. Choose a version of Couchbase Server to deploy on your cluster. For more information about Couchbase Server versions, see Couchbase Server Version.

      9. Do one of the following:

        1. For a Free cluster, choose a cloud service provider and your preferred region.

        2. For a Single Node cluster, choose your Services and node compute and storage amount.

        3. For a Multi-Node cluster, choose a base node template, then customize your node’s compute, storage, and IOPS configuration.

        4. For a Custom cluster, add Service Groups, then assign nodes with a specific compute, storage, and IOPS configuration to each Group.

        For more information, see Services and Service Groups, Node Configuration, Compute Configuration, or Storage Configuration.

      10. Choose a Support Plan for your cluster. For more information about support plans, see Support Plan.

      11. Choose the Availability Zone configuration for your cluster. For more information about Availability Zone configurations, see Availability Zones.

      12. Click Create Cluster.

      Accounts with a paid plan can deploy a free tier operational cluster alongside their paid operational clusters.

      Next Steps

      Capella creates and deploys your cluster in your chosen cloud provider’s region. The process typically takes less than 5 minutes, but this can change based on cluster size and cloud provider performance.

      After your cluster shows a status of Healthy, you can:
