Creating your first Virtual Warehouse

This topic provides the high-level steps needed to create a Virtual Warehouse in Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) Private Cloud on both Red Hat OpenShift 4.6 clusters and Embedded Container Service (ECS) clusters.

After you have registered an environment with Management Console, click Data Warehouse in the left menu to navigate to the Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) service. Then perform the following steps:

1. Activate the environment to use with the CDW service. See Activating OpenShift and ECS environments.
2. Use the default Database Catalog that was created automatically when the environment was activated in Step 1, or create a new Database Catalog. See Adding a new Database Catalog.
3. After creating the Database Catalog, you can create a Virtual Warehouse. See Adding a new Virtual Warehouse.

Now that you have a Virtual Warehouse, and you can start submitting workloads.
