Create and manage workspaces

Create a workspace in the e6data Console - pick Serverless or In Your VPC, your cloud and region - and update it when a new version is released.

A workspace is the top-level container for catalogs, clusters, and queries. This page covers creating one from the Control Plane and updating it over time.

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

From the Control Plane:

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.

See resource naming conventions for naming rules across all resources.

Valid	Invalid
sales-analytics	Sales (uppercase)
prod-1	-prod (starts with hyphen)
my-workspace-2	my_workspace (underscore)
team-a	analytics! (special character)

After creation

Once the workspace shows Running in the Workspaces list:

• 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.

Workspaces list reference

The list shows the following for each workspace:

Column	Description
Workspace Name	The name you provided
Status	Running, Provisioning, Disabled, or Error
Type	Serverless or In Your VPC
Cloud	AWS or Azure
Region	The region you selected

Available row actions: Open (launch the Compute Plane), Enable / Disable, and Delete. See Workspace settings.
