I am new to RedShfit. I have configured AWS CLI in the Windows system. I want to create a cluster with the CLI command. How can I create that?

Hi@akhtar,

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. The below example creates a cluster with a minimal set of parameters. By default, the output is in JSON format.

$ aws redshift create-cluster --node-type dw.hs1.xlarge --number-of-nodes 2 --master-username adminuser --master-user-password TopSecret1 --cluster-identifier mycluster
