Create a Cluster
- Capella Analytics
- how-to
This topic includes the procedures you follow to create Capella Analytics clusters.
Within a Capella organization, you set up projects to which you can add one or more Capella Analytics clusters.
-
Settings that you configure at the organization level apply to all projects.
-
Settings that you configure at the project level apply to all of the Capella Analytics clusters in that project.
If you choose to add both Capella Analytics clusters and Capella operational databases to the same project, your project-level settings apply to both.
Projects and Clusters
To get started, an authorized user for the organization sets up one or more projects using the Capella UI. Projects organize and manage clusters. For example, you could create separate projects for your production and development environments, for different business units within your company, or for each of your applications. See Create a Project.
After you create a project, you set up one or more clusters. A cluster is a cloud storage environment dedicated to use by Capella Analytics services. See Create a Capella Analytics Cluster.
Before you can set up any data sources and collections, or connect an app to Capella Analytics services, you must use the Capella UI to create a project and a Capella Analytics cluster.
Prerequisites
To create a Capella Analytics cluster, you must have the Project Owner or Project Manager project role and at least one project must exist. See Project Roles.

Click Create Cluster. The Capella Analytics page opens with a list of clusters. Your new cluster displays with a status of Deploying.
For each new cluster, Capella Analytics supplies a Default
database with a Default
scope.
When your cluster is ready, you can click its name to open the workbench.
See Query and Explore with the Workbench.
You can now create a link and add a collection to the Default.Default
database and scope, or create your own databases and scopes before adding links and collections.
