Adding Cluster Instance Nodes

Precautions

• To add nodes, instance status must be Available, Deleting backup, or Checking restoration.
• Nodes cannot be added to a DB instance that is being backed up.
• A DB instance cannot be deleted while nodes are being added.
• An instance node can be added within 5 minutes. The time required depends on the number of nodes to be added.
• Adding nodes does not affect cluster services.
• When adding a shard node for a cluster DB instance, ensure that the node class is greater than or equal to the highest class of a shard in the instance.

Pricing Details

• A pay-per-use instance is still billed on an hourly basis after new nodes are added.

• If you add nodes to a yearly/monthly instance, you will pay price difference or get a refund.
• For details, see Product Pricing Details.
