• EC2-VPC – Your cluster runs in a virtual private cloud (VPC) that is logically isolated to your AWS
account.
If you deploy on EC2-VPC, you will control access to your cluster by associating one or more VPC
security groups with the cluster. For more information, go to Security Groups for Your VPC.
To create a cluster in a VPC, you must first create an Amazon Redshift cluster subnet group by providing
subnet information of your VPC, and then provide the subnet group when launching the cluster. For
more information, see Amazon Redshift Cluster Subnet Groups (p. 25).
For more information about VPC, go to Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) product detail
page.
Your AWS account can launch a cluster either into both platforms or only into EC2-VPC, depending on
the AWS region.To determine which platform your account supports and then deploy a cluster, do the
following:
1. Decide on the AWS region in which you want to deploy a cluster. For a list of AWS regions in which
Amazon Redshift is available, go to Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General
Reference.
2. Find out which EC2 platforms your account supports in the chosen AWS region.
You can find this information in the EC2 console. For step-by-step instructions, go to Supported
Platforms in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
3. If your account supports both EC2 platforms, choose the platform on which you want to deploy the
Amazon Redshift cluster. If your account supports only EC2-VPC, you deploy your cluster in VPC.
4. Deploy your Amazon Redshift cluster.
You can deploy a cluster by using Amazon Redshift console or programmatically using the Amazon
Redshift API or the SDK libraries. For more information, click one of the links provided at the beginning
of this topic.

This section explains how to create, modify, get information about, delete, and reboot a cluster by using
the Amazon Redshift console. In general, you accomplish these tasks by viewing the cluster performance
dashboard.The dashboard is a list of clusters that shows at a glance the status of the cluster (e.g.
available), the DB Health of the cluster (e.g. healthy), whether the cluster is undergoing maintenance,
and count of recent events.
