Enabling Swarms

This menu item lets you enable Swarm clusters, ephemeral ClickHouse® clusters that are scalable pools of self-registering, stateless servers. (The Altinity blog has a discussion of swarms if you’d like to know more.)

This menu item is currently disabled by default, but please contact us and we can enable swarms for your environment.

When swarms are enabled for your environment, clicking this menu item asks you to confirm your choice:

Now you can create swarms using the Launch Cluster Wizard. Simply click the button, go through a simple wizard, and you’ll have a swarm cluster. See the Launch Cluster Wizard documentation for all the details.
