1. Log in and select "Product Service > MapReduce BMR" to enter the cluster list page.
2. (Optional) Select the region. For the region description, please see the Description of Region Selection. Clusters created in different regions are independent of each other.
3. Click "Create clusters", and enter the "Create clusters" page to configure cluster:

4. Choose billing mode on your demands.

   • Prepaid: Payment of orders during the billing cycle of a natural year or natural month, payment before service, and lower price than postpayment.
   • Post-paid: Real-time billing by minutes, deduction by hours, and service before payment.

5. In "Basic configuration" section, you can refer to following instructions to configure basic information of cluster:

   • Cluster name: Enter cluster name ("My Cluster" by default).
   • Administrator password: Used for SSH remote connection to cluster (non-root user and root user apply for ticket) and login to web page applications (HMS and Hue).
   • Confirm administrator password: Re-enter administrator password.
   • Short message switch: It is on by default.
   • Common alarm strategy: It is on by default.
   • Log: It is on by default. Enter the log address (i.e., BOS path) when it is on. Data written in BOS can be used for the presentation of step log, diagnosis and tuning of cluster, and high availability guarantee of cluster. You must have write permission to the address. Click "Create Bucket" if you do not create a bucket on BOS, in other words, if bucket-name does not exist. For more information, please see Create Bucket.
   • Automatic termination: It is off by default. After processing all data, the cluster keeps running and needs automatic release. When the function is on, the cluster is terminated after processing data. The temporary cluster is created.
   • Timeout setup: The function is frozen by default, and it is activated after the automatic termination function is on. After timeout function is activated, if cluster running time is longer than timeout set by you, the system automatically reminds you and processes cluster according to "Action After Timeout" setup.

In "Basic setting of the cluster" section, you can refer to following configuration instructions:

• Image version: Select a suitable image version.
• Built in templates/Optional applications: You can use "Built-in Template" to quickly add applications corresponding to Hadoop, Spark, and Hbase, and you can add custom applications.
• Note: Relational storage fees are not charged if you select default as Metastore when adding hive application. Fees are charged based on RDS charging standards if you select MySQL as Metastore. RDS instance means the created RDS instance, and you need to input the database’s service address, service port, database, user name, and password information.
• Safe mode: Whether to enable the cluster’s Kerberos authentication function. For more information, please see the cluster security mode.
• High availability: After it is enabled, the cluster has two master nodes to support the high availability of Resource Manager, Name Node, and Kerberos.
