Preparing an ECS
Before using a cluster, you need to use a client to connect to the database. After the client is installed, you can access the cluster via the private network address of the cluster.
Preparing an ECS
For details about how to purchase an ECS, see "ECSs" > "Purchasing an ECS" in the User Guide.
To purchase an ECS, the following requirements must be met:
- The ECS must have the same region, AZ, VPC, and subnet as the CloudTable cluster.
For details about how to create a VPC, see in Virtual Private Cloud.
- The ECS must have the same security group as the CloudTable cluster.
For more information about security groups, see Security > Security Group > Security Group Overview in the Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.
NoteWhen cross-VPC communication is used to access a CloudTable cluster, the network administrator needs to authorize the access to the VPC, security group, and subnet where the cluster resides.
- When creating an ECS, you need to set EIP to Automatically assign. Alternatively, you can bind an EIP to an ECS after the ECS is created.
- To access a Linux ECS, you are advised to use an SSH password.
For details about how to log in to a Linux ECS, see "ECSs > Logging In to a Linux ECS > Login Using an SSH Password" in the Elastic Cloud Server User Guide.
