Advanced configurations

Create an advanced configuration on the Advanced Clusters page. When you configure the properties in the advanced configuration, you can associate the configuration with a runtime environment. You can create an advanced configuration from an existing configuration. The new configuration uses the existing configuration as a template. You can specify a runtime environment for the new configuration and you can also edit the other properties.

After you create the configuration, use the page to view a summary of the configurations that are available in your organization. The summary includes information that you can quickly reference, such as the node instance types and the minimum and maximum number of nodes that the cluster can have.

The following image shows the Advanced Clusters page:

To run a job using the advanced configuration, use the runtime environment that is associated with the advanced configuration.

If you edit the advanced configuration when the advanced cluster is running, you must stop the cluster for the changes in the configuration to take effect. When you stop the cluster, the cluster is deleted and the running jobs are stopped. The cluster starts up again when you run another job.

You can create a new advanced configuration from an existing configuration. The new configuration uses the existing configuration as a template. You can change any of the fields in the new configuration, but by default you only need to change the Runtime Environment field.

You can delete an advanced configuration only when the Secure Agent is running. When you delete a configuration, all provisioned resources are automatically deleted. If the agent is not running and you want to delete the provisioned resources, run the commands to list and delete clusters. For more information about the commands, see Command reference.
