Create and manage workspaces

​

Before you start

• Have an e6data account (refer sign up and login).
• Decide which cloud you’ll deploy to (AWS or Azure).
• Decide on a deployment type - Serverless or In Your VPC. See Deployment models.
• Pick a region - typically where your data resides.

​

Create the workspace

1. Open the Workspaces menu in the left navigation.
2. Click Create.
3. Choose your deployment model:
   • Serverless - e6data manages the compute infrastructure.
   • In Your VPC - compute runs inside your own Kubernetes cluster.
4. Click Continue under your chosen model.
5. Fill in the workspace details:

   Field	Description
   Cloud Provider	AWS or Azure
   Region	Where your data resides (for example, us-east-1, East US)
   Workspace Name	See naming rules below

6. Click Create Workspace.

​

Workspace naming rules

• 1–18 characters long.
• Lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), and hyphens (-) only.
• Must start and end with a letter or number.

​

After creation

• Click Open to enter the Compute Plane.
• Follow the cloud-specific deployment guide to grant storage access (Serverless).
• Once access is granted, register a catalog and create a cluster.
