Creating a database cluster

You can use an existing EDB Postgres® AI cluster or create a new cluster for the target of the database migration.

To use an existing cluster as a target for the migration, ensure the tables you migrate and the load generated on target don't interfere with existing workloads.

1. Access the EDB Postgres AI Console and log in with your EDB Postgres AI Cloud Service credentials.

2. Select the project where you want to create the database cluster.

   See Creating a project if you want to create one.

3. Within your project, select Create New and Database Cluster to create an instance that will serve as target for the EDB Data Migration Service (EDB DMS).

   See Creating a cluster for detailed instructions on how to create a single-node or a primary/standby high availability cluster.

   See Creating a distributed high-availability cluster for detailed instructions on how to create a distributed high availibility cluster.

4. In the Clusters page, select your cluster, and use the Quick Connect option to access your instance from your terminal.

5. Create a new empty database that you will use as a target for the migration. Alternatively, you can use the default database edb_admin.
