Creating a Cluster

Function

This API is used to create a cluster.

The cluster must run in a VPC. Before creating a cluster, you need to create a VPC and obtain the VPC and subnet IDs.

This API is an asynchronous API. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to create a cluster.

Calling Method

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
cluster	Yes	CreateClusterInfo object	Definition Cluster object. Range Non-null object.

**Table 3** CreateClusterInfo
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
node_type	Yes	String	Definition Node flavor ID. To obtain the value, call the API for querying flavors and view the id field in the API response. Constraints N/A Range The value must be the flavor ID returned by the API for querying flavors. Default Value N/A

name	Yes	String	Definition Cluster name. Constraints The value must be unique. It must contain 4 to 64 characters and start with a letter. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed. Range 4 to 64 characters Default Value 8000
user_name	Yes	String	Definition Administrator username for logging in to a DWS cluster. Constraints Only lowercase letters, digits, and underscores (_) are allowed. The value must start with a lowercase letter or an underscore (_). The value can contain 1 to 63 characters. The value cannot be a keyword of the DWS database. Range 1 to 63 characters Default Value dbadmin
user_pwd	Yes	String	Definition Administrator password for logging in to a DWS cluster. Constraints N/A Range The value can contain 12 to 32 characters. The value can contain at least three types of the following characters: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (~!?,.:;_(){}[]/<>@#%^&+\|\=-). The value must be different from the username or the username spelled backwards. Default Value* N/A
public_ip	No	PublicIp object	Definition Public IP address. If the parameter is not specified, public connection is not used by default. Constraints N/A Range N/A Default Value null
number_of_cn	No	Integer	Definition Number of CNs deployed. Constraints N/A Range 2 to Number of cluster nodes. The maximum value is 20. Default Value 3
enterprise_project_id	No	String	Definition Enterprise project ID for a cluster. If this parameter is not specified, the default value 0 (indicating that the ID of the default enterprise project) is used. Constraints N/A Range N/A Default Value 0
tags	No	Tags object	Definition Tag. By default, no tags are specified for the cluster. Constraints N/A Range N/A Default Value null

**Table 4** PublicIp
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
