This topic describes how to add a node to an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL cluster.
Prerequisites

- The RDS cluster is in the Running state.
Background information
- When you add a node to an RDS cluster, the read and write requests of the RDS cluster are not affected.
- After you add a node, you can specify a weight for the node. This way, the system distributes requests to the node based on the specified weight to implement load balancing.
- An RDS cluster consists of up to one primary node and two secondary nodes.
Billing rules
For more information about the billing rules after nodes are added, see Specification changes.
