createCluster

Creates a new cluster with the specified parameters.

To create a cluster in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), you must provide a cluster subnet group name. The cluster subnet group identifies the subnets of your VPC that Amazon Redshift uses when creating the cluster. For more information about managing clusters, go to Amazon Redshift Clusters in the Amazon Redshift Cluster Management Guide.

VPC Block Public Access (BPA) enables you to block resources in VPCs and subnets that you own in a Region from reaching or being reached from the internet through internet gateways and egress-only internet gateways. If a subnet group for a provisioned cluster is in an account with VPC BPA turned on, the following capabilities are blocked:

• Creating a public cluster

• Restoring a public cluster

• Modifying a private cluster to be public

• Adding a subnet with VPC BPA turned on to the subnet group when there's at least one public cluster within the group

For more information about VPC BPA, see Block public access to VPCs and subnets in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
