Create Global Cluster

This guide explains how to create a global cluster.

If you need to enable the global cluster feature for an existing cluster, see Manage Cluster.

📘Notes

This feature is available only to Dedicated clusters in a Business Critical project.

Before you start​

  • Ensure you are a Project Admin.

Create a global cluster​

Turn on the switch next to Global Cluster in Cluster Settings and provide a name for the global cluster. A global cluster must have 1 primary cluster and 1 to 5 secondary cluster.

The cloud provider, cluster type, number of query CU should be consistent with those of the primary cluster.

The following demo shows how to create a global cluster via the web console.

After you create a global cluster, Zilliz Cloud:

  1. Provisions a global cluster and both its primary and secondary clusters. All primary and secondary clusters appear in CREATING status.

  2. Once the provision of both the primary and secondary clusters completes, the clusters appear in RUNNING status and supports data replication.

You can monitor the data synchronization status and lag on the Global Topology tab of the Global Cluster page.
