Managing Clusters Using the Console

This topic explains how to work with clusters in the Amazon Redshift console.You can use the Clusters

section in the Amazon Redshift console to create, modify, resize, delete, reboot, and back up clusters.

When you don't have any clusters in a region, and you navigate to the Clusters page, you will see an

option to launch a cluster. In the following screenshot, the region is the US East (N. Virginia) region and

there are no clusters for this account.

When you have at least one cluster in the region that you have selected, the Clusters section displays

a subset of information about all the clusters for the account in that region. In the following screenshot,

there is one cluster created for this account in the selected region.
