How to Manage Cluster Groups and Deployment Rules

Organize clusters into groups to help manage and deploy applications. This document outlines how to manage cluster groups and set deployment rules.

Cluster groups​

Cluster groups let you categorize clusters based on criteria such as environment (for example, development, staging, production), geographic location, or any other relevant factor.

To create a cluster group, follow these steps:

  1. On the GlobalAI dashboard access the Clusters Groups section on the sidebar.
  2. Click on the Create cluster group button.

    • Description: Optionally, add a description to explain the purpose of the group.
    • Tags: Optionally, add tags to help categorize and search for the group later.
    • Clusters: From the dropdown menu, select the clusters to include in this group.
    • Deployment Rule: From the dropdown menu, assign deployment rules that will apply to this group.
