Creating and Editing a Host Cluster

Prerequisites

• You have the permission to create resources. If not, contact the project administrator to grant you the permission.
• You have created a resource pool if you select Self-hosted as the Execution Resource Pool.

Creating a Host Cluster

1. Go to the Basic Resources page.
   • In the target project, choose Settings > General > Basic Resources. The Host Clusters page is displayed.
   • Choose CICD > Deploy. Click Basic Resources. The Host Clusters page is displayed by default.

   OS	Yes	Linux or Windows.
   Host Connection Mode	Yes	Direct connection: Select a host bound with an EIP as the target host to connect to CodeArts. Proxy: Select a host bound with an EIP as the proxy host to connect to CodeArts. If the target host cannot connect to the public network, select the proxy mode.
   Execution Resource Pool	Yes	A resource pool is a collection of physical environments where commands are executed during software package deployment. Official resource pool: You can use an official resource pool hosted by Huawei Cloud. Self-hosted resource pool: You can also host your own servers as a self-hosted resource pool on Huawei Cloud. For details, see Creating a Self-hosted Resource Pool. Both Official and Self-hosted pools support adding IPv6 addresses for target hosts. To use a Self-hosted resource pool, perform the following operations: Configure a Self-hosted resource pool by referring to Creating a Self-hosted Resource Pool. On the Basic Information tab page of the target application, select Self-hosted for Execution Resource Pool.
