Creating a Virtual Warehouse with ARM compute instance types using CDP CLI

In Cloudera Data Warehouse 1.9.1-b233 (released July 26, 2024), you can select a compute instance type while creating a Virtual Warehouse. However, this is supported only using the BETA CDP CLI. By following the steps in this topic, you can create a Virtual Warehouse with regular or ARM-based instance types.

The following ARM-based instance types are supported starting with the 1.9.1-b233 release of Cloudera Data Warehouse on cloud:


Cloud provider	ARM instance type	Virtual Warehouse type
AWS	r7gd.4xlarge r6gd.4xlarge	Impala
Azure	Standard_E16pds_v5	Impala

You must install the BETA CDP CLI on your Kubernetes cluster.

Connect to the Kubernetes cluster on which you want to create a Virtual Warehouse.
Run the following command to list the supported instance types:
```
dw describe-allowed-instance-types
```
Run the command to create a Virtual Warehouse:
For example:
```
dw create-vw --cluster-id <value> --dbc-id <value> --vw-type <value> --name <value> --instance-type <value>
```
Specify the instance type you want to use for your Virtual Warehouse using the --instance-type option.

For the complete list of options, see the documentation for the create-dw command.
