**Table 2** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
cluster	Yes	CreateClusterBody object	Cluster object.

**Table 3** CreateClusterBody
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
instance	Yes	CreateClusterInstanceBody object	Instance.

name	Yes	String	Cluster name It can contain 4 to 32 characters. Only digits, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed. The value must start with a letter.
instanceNum	Yes	Integer	Number of clusters. The value range is 1 to 32.
backupStrategy	No	CreateClusterBackupStrategyBody object	Automatic snapshot creation policy, which is disabled by default. The automatic snapshot creation policy is enabled only if backupStrategy is not left blank.
httpsEnable	No	Boolean	Whether communication is encrypted on the cluster. The value can be true or false. By default, communication encryption is disabled. If httpsEnable is set to true, authorityEnable must be set to true. true: Communication is encrypted on the cluster. false: Communication is not encrypted on the cluster. This parameter is supported in clusters 6.5.4 or later.
authorityEnable	No	Boolean	Whether to enable authentication. The value can be true or false. Authentication is disabled by default. true indicates that authentication is enabled for the cluster. true indicates that authentication is enabled for the cluster. This parameter is supported in clusters 6.5.4 or later.
adminPwd	No	String	Password of the cluster user admin in security mode. This parameter is mandatory only if authorityEnable is set to true. The administrator password must meet the following requirements: The password can contain 8 to 32 characters. Passwords must contain at least three of the following character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters (~!@#$%^&*()-_=+\\|[{}];:,<.>/?). Weak password verification is required for a security cluster. You are advised to set a strong password.
enterprise_project_id	No	String	Enterprise project ID. When creating a cluster, associate the enterprise project ID with the cluster. The value can contain a maximum of 36 characters. It is string 0 or in UUID format with hyphens (-). Value 0 indicates the default enterprise project.
tags	No	Array of CreateClusterTagsBody objects	Cluster tag.
payInfo	No	payInfoBody object	Parameters used for purchasing a yearly/monthly cluster.
ipv6_enable	No	Boolean	Whether to enable automatic IPv6 address assignment for the cluster. The default value is false.

**Table 4** CreateClusterInstanceBody
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
flavorRef	Yes	String	Instance flavor. For details about the current instance flavor, see the name attribute in Obtaining the Instance Specifications List.
volume	Yes	CreateClusterInstanceVolumeBody object	Volume information. You do not need to set this parameter when flavorRef is set to a local disk flavor. Currently, the following local disk flavors are supported: ess.spec-i3small ess.spec-i3medium ess.spec-i3.8xlarge.8 ess.spec-ds.xlarge.8 ess.spec-ds.2xlarge.8 ess.spec-ds.4xlarge.8
nics	Yes	CreateClusterInstanceNicsBody object	Subnet ID.
availability_zone	Yes	String	Availability zone (AZ). You need to specify the AZ name. By default, a single AZ is specified. If multiple AZs are specified, use commas (,) to separate AZ names. Take CN North-Beijing4 as an example. If three AZs are selected, the value of availability_zone is cn-north-4a,cn-north-4b,cn-north-4c. If a single AZ is used, the value of availability_zone is empty by default. NOTE: NOTE - If multiple AZs are selected, the name of each AZ must be unique, and the number of nodes must be greater than or equal to the number of AZs. - If the number of nodes is a multiple of the number of AZs, the nodes are evenly distributed to each AZ. - If the number of nodes is not a multiple of the number of AZs, the absolute difference between node quantity in any two AZs is 1 at most. - Obtain AZ names fromRegions and Endpoints.

**Table 5** CreateClusterInstanceVolumeBody
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
volume_type	Yes	String	Volume type COMMON: common I/O HIGH: high I/O ULTRAHIGH: ultra-high I/O ESSD: ultra-fast SSD
size	Yes	Integer	Volume size. The value must be greater than 0 and a multiple of 4 and 10. For details about the local disk size, see the diskrange attribute in Obtaining the Instance Specifications List. Unit: GB

**Table 6** CreateClusterInstanceNicsBody
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
vpcId	Yes	String	VPC ID, which is used for configuring cluster network.
netId	Yes	String	Subnet ID (network ID).
securityGroupId	Yes	String	Security group ID.

**Table 7** CreateClusterDatastoreBody
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
version	Yes	String	Elasticsearch/Logstash engine version. For details, see CSS Supported Cluster Versions.
type	Yes	String	Engine type. The value can be elasticsearch, logstash, or opensearch.

**Table 8** CreateClusterBackupStrategyBody
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
period	Yes	String	Time when a snapshot is generated every day. Snapshots can only be generated on the hour. The format is HH:mm z: HH:mm refers to the hour time and z refers to the time zone. For example, 00:00 GMT+08:00 and 01:00 GMT+08:00. NOTE: The default value is 00:00 GMT+08:00. When frequency is set to HOUR, you do not need to specify period. By default, snapshot creation starts from the next hour after the settings are successful.
prefix	Yes	String	Prefix of a snapshot that is automatically created, which is manually entered. Enter up to 32 characters and start with a lowercase letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed.
keepday	Yes	Integer	Set the number of retained snapshots. The value ranges from 1 to 90. Expired snapshots will be automatically deleted on the half hour. The deletion policy applies only to automated snapshots that are executed at the same frequency as the current automatic snapshot creation policy.
bucket	No	String	Name of the OBS bucket used for backup.
basePath	No	String	Storage path of the snapshot in the OBS bucket.
agency	No	String	IAM agency used to access OBS. If none of the bucket, basePath, and agency parameters are specified, the system will automatically create an OBS bucket and an IAM agency. If the creation fails, you need to manually configure correct parameters.
frequency	No	String	Frequency of automatically creating snapshots. NOTE: The default value is DAY. If this parameter is set to HOUR, the scheduled task is executed every hour. If this parameter is set to DAY, the scheduled task is executed every day. If this parameter is set to SUN, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI or SAT, the scheduled task is executed at the specified day of every week. For example, SUN indicates that the task is executed once every Sunday. The number of retained snapshots depends on the execution frequency and indexes set in the automatic snapshot creation policy. If the execution interval is short or the index data volume is large, the number of retained automatic snapshots may not reach the preset value. Set this value based on actual conditions.

**Table 9** CreateClusterTagsBody
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	Yes	String	Separate multiple AZs with commas (,). For example, to specify three AZs in CN North-Beijing4, you can set availability_zone to cn-north-4a,cn-north-4b,cn-north-4c. By default, a single AZ is created when this parameter is not specified.
value	Yes	String	Tag value. The value can contain 0 to 43 characters. It can only contain digits, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

**Table 10** payInfoBody
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
payModel	Yes	Integer	Subscription period type. 2: Monthly 3: Yearly
period	Yes	Integer	Subscribed periods. If payModel is 2, the value range is 1 to 9. If payModel is 3, the value range is 1 to 3.
isAutoRenew	No	Integer	Whether to automatically renew the subscription. If this parameter is not specified, the subscription is not automatically renewed. 1: Yes 2: No (default value)
isAutoPay	No	Integer	Indicates whether to enable automatic payment from your Huawei Cloud account. This parameter takes effect only for yearly/monthly clusters. 1: Yes. (Discounts and coupons are automatically selected. The fee will be automatically deducted from your Huawei Cloud account.) If the automatic payment fails, an unpaid order will be generated, and you need to manually complete the payment. (During manual payment, you can still modify the discounts and coupons that were automatically selected.) 0: No. (The customer needs to manually pay for the bill. Discounts and coupons can be used.) The default value is 0.
