Using Compute Clusters

Compute Clusters enable you to deploy a containerized platform on Kubernetes for Data Services and shared services.

The Compute Cluster architecture offers simplified management, enhanced efficiency, and centralized control that leads to faster deployments, reduced configuration errors and improved system reliability. As multiple Data Services can optionally share the same Compute Cluster, it also lowers the cost of ownership.

When registering a Compute Cluster enabled environment, a default Compute Cluster is created. This default Compute Cluster is tied to the environment, and is used for running critical applications. The default Compute Cluster is labeled as Default Cluster in your environment to distinguish it from the other Compute Clusters.

You can create additional Compute Clusters that inherit the configuration of the default Compute Cluster. You can manage the lifecycle of the additional Compute Clusters as they are independent of the environment.
