To create a cluster, follow the steps below:

  1. Click Create New Cluster in the top right corner of the screen.

  2. Set a name and choose the channel. Currently, there are two channels available:

  • Stable: Provides the latest feature and patch releases ready for most users at a minimal risk. The releases follow semantic versioning and can be updated to the next minor or patch release without data loss.
  • Alpha: Provides preview releases in preparation for the next stable release. They provide a short-term stability point to test new features and give feedback before they are released to the stable channel. Try these to ensure the upcoming release works with your infrastructure. These releases cannot be updated to a newer release, and therefore are not meant to be used in production.
