Learn how to create and deploy a cluster using Capella Operational Free Tier.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, you must have a Couchbase Capella account. If you do not have one already, Create an Account.

Create and Deploy a Cluster

Every Capella account includes one free tier operational cluster. In this tutorial, you will use the free tier cluster to create and manage student records.

To create and deploy a cluster:

  1. Sign in to Couchbase Capella.

  2. On the Operational Clusters page, click Create Cluster.

  3. Select My First Project as the project for your cluster. (If you’ve already created a project, you can select that instead.)

  4. Under Cluster Option, select Free.

  5. In the Cluster Name field, enter student-cluster.

  6. (Optional) Provide a description of your cluster.

  7. Select one of the available cloud service providers.

  8. Select an available geographic region for your cluster.

    If you are unsure which cloud provider and region to choose, select the default options, for example AWS and US East.

  9. Accept the default CIDR Block for your cluster.

  10. Click Create Cluster to deploy the cluster.

Next Steps

The cluster may take a few minutes to deploy. When the cluster is deployed, you can implement a data model.
