Buying a Custom MRS Cluster

This section describes how to create an MRS cluster on the MRS console.

MRS consists of multiple big data components, and you can select the cluster type that best fits your service requirements, data types, reliability expectations, and resource budget.

You can quickly buy a cluster using the preset cluster template or select the component list and advanced settings to manually buy a cluster.

On the MRS console, a maximum of 10 clusters can be created concurrently, and a maximum of 100 clusters can be managed.

Prerequisites

Video Tutorial

This tutorial demonstrates how to create an MRS cluster on the management console and configure software, hardware, and advanced settings.

The UI may vary depending on the version. This tutorial is for reference only.

Buying a Custom MRS Cluster

  1. Go to the Buy Cluster page.
  2. Click the Custom Config tab.

    Pay attention to quota reminders when creating a cluster. If the resource quota is insufficient, request a quota increase as prompted before creating the cluster.

  3. In the Basic Configuration area, set basic information about the MRS cluster.

    • Billing Mode: Billing mode of a cluster. MRS provides two billing modes: yearly/monthly and pay-per-use. For details about billing, see Billing Modes.
    • Region: Region where the resource to be created is located. Resources in different regions cannot communicate with each other over the intranet. To improve access speed and reduce network latency, select the region nearest to you.

  4. Configure the MRS cluster information as prompted.

    When creating a cluster, you need to configure the cluster version, network, node specifications and quantity, and other advanced settings.

  5. After the cluster information is configured, click Buy Now.

    • For any doubt about the pricing, click Pricing details in the lower left corner.
    • If you select the pay-per-use billing mode, the order may fail to be placed because the account may be in risk. In this case, contact technical support.

  6. Click Back to MRS Cluster List to view the cluster status.

    Wait for the cluster creation to complete. The initial status of the cluster is Starting. After the cluster is created, the cluster status becomes Running.
