This topic describes how to create a PolarDB cluster in the PolarDB console.
Background information
A PolarDB for PostgreSQL (Compatible with Oracle) cluster consists of a primary node and up to 15 read-only nodes. We recommend that you retain at least one read-only node. The primary node and read-only nodes use the active-active failover method to implement high availability. A node is a virtual database server. You can create and manage multiple databases on a node.
To fully leverage the performance of PolarDB, your PolarDB cluster needs to be deployed in the same internal network with other Alibaba Cloud services. To make full use of the capabilities provided by PolarDB, we recommend that you deploy PolarDB clusters and Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances in the same VPC.
