Can I Expand a Single Shard of a Cluster Instance (Scale-Up)?

If you need to vertically expand a single shard of a cluster instance, contact technical support.

For more information about scale-up impacts, see Impact of scaling.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the DCS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select the region where your instance is located.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Cache Manager.
  4. Choose More > Modify Specifications in the row containing the desired DCS instance.
