Edit & Delete Clusters

A cluster is edited from the Configuration tab of its detail page, and destroyed from the chevron menu in that page's persistent header.

Editing a cluster

Open Clusters, click the cluster name, then open the Configuration tab. The tab is the cluster's edit form, with a live read-only CLUSTER DETAILS summary panel pinned on the right.

The DESTROYED-state requirement

We show an information banner at the top of the tab:

To edit cluster details, the cluster <name> must be in the DESTROYED state.

While the cluster is not in the DESTROYED state, only three controls stay editable:

  • Cluster Name
  • Description
  • Stop Each Instance After

We keep every other control on the form disabled until the cluster is destroyed.

Cluster Configuration tab, lower half: Instances, Auto Shutdown, Labels, Metastore, Mounts, Spark Config and Advanced Options

Advanced Options contains a package name field (Enter Package Name), a repository name field (Enter Repository Name), key/value pair rows, a bootstrap shell-script textarea pre-filled with a #!/bin/bash stub, a disk-size field (placeholder e.g., 100), a number-of-disks field (placeholder e.g., 2), and a throughput/IOPS numeric field.

The form has a sticky footer with three buttons:

ButtonEffect
ResetDiscards the unsaved edits and restores the saved configuration
UpdateSaves the configuration without starting the cluster
Update & StartSaves the configuration and starts the cluster. It mirrors the create form's Create & Start and is disabled unless the cluster is in a startable state

CLUSTER DETAILS panel

The panel on the right is a read-only mirror of the saved configuration, it doesn't reflect unsaved edits. It shows Cloud Provider, Cluster Type, Cloud Environment, Compute Type with its vCPU, memory, YCU/hour and disk figures, Acceleration, Disk Volume, Runtime Version as version chips plus capability chips for Notebook, CUDA, Turbo and Thrift, and Labels as key/value pairs, where the reserved keys carry a lock icon.

Destroying a cluster

Destroy is on the cluster chip in the persistent header of the cluster detail page, so it is reachable from any of the five tabs:

  1. Open the cluster's detail page.
  2. On the cluster chip at the right of the header, click the chevron next to the stop/start button.
  3. Choose Destroy, the menu's single item.

Destroying releases the cluster's resources, and we move it through DESTROYING to DESTROYED. Once the cluster reaches DESTROYED, the whole Configuration form becomes editable.

The same chip carries the Stop button, which becomes Start on a stopped cluster.

Clusters can also be acted on from the Action column of the Clusters list page.
