Managing your clusters in the cluster panel#

The cluster panels contain the name of the cluster (1), its state (2) a button to terminate the cluster (3), a button to stop the cluster (4) and different tabs to manage the cluster (5). You will now learn more details about these actions and tabs.

Terminating the cluster will destroy it and delete all the resources that were automatically created during the cluster creation. To be sure that you are not terminating a cluster by accident you will be asked to confirm that you want to terminate the cluster. To confirm the termination, check the check box and click on Terminate.

Note

Terminating a cluster does not delete or empty the bucket associated with the cluster. This is because this bucket is needed to restore a backup. You can find more information about backups in the backup documentation.

The general tab#

The General tab gives you the basic information about your cluster. If you have created a cluster with managed users it will only give you the URL of the cluster. If you have created a cluster without managed cluster it will also give you the user name and password that were set for the admin user at cluster creation.
