Create cluster

Create cluster

A cluster is an object composed of multiple nodes that is automatically managed by the MemStore service. When creating or deleting a cluster, the service automatically changes the cluster status while performing the operation. A cluster consists of multiple nodes, and each node functions as either a Primary or a Replica.
There are the following methods to create a new cluster in the MemStore service.

info

• The Security Group applied to the cluster must allow port 6379 for cluster access.
• t1i instance types may take a few minutes to tens of minutes to transition to Running status after initial creation.
  Additionally, if the CPU credit is insufficient, tasks that put a load on the CPU may not operate properly, so caution is needed.

caution

User authentication is not supported for Redis OSS engine versions 5 or lower.

1. Go to Data Store > MemStore on the KakaoCloud Console.

2. Click the Create cluster button in the Cluster menu.

Create new cluster

Use cluster mode

1. In the configuration options, select Create a new cluster and click the Enable button for Cluster Mode Setting.

Restore cluster

info

• Restoration is available only when cluster mode is disabled.
  

caution

• Restoration is not available for Redis OSS engine versions 7 or higher when restoring from a user file.
• When restoring from an existing MemStore backup, restoration may fail if the cache size of the source backup is greater than 60% of the memory of the target cluster flavor.

Disable cluster mode

1. In the configuration options, select Restore cluster.

2. To restore from an existing backup, select Backup Type > MemStore Backup. To restore from a file stored in Object Storage, select Backup Type > User Backup File and enter the Object Storage path of the backup file.

3. Enter the necessary information to create the cluster.
