Through the [**Clusters**](https://app.simplismart.ai/clusters) section, you can efficiently manage your compute resources, allowing for optimal allocation and monitoring of your computational power. ## **Enter Basic Details** * **Name**: Provide a name for your cluster. This name will become your cluster slug. * **Cloud Account**: Select the cloud account where the cluster will be created. * **Region**: Choose the region for your cluster. * **Hosted Zone**: Select the appropriate hosted zone. After entering all the necessary details, click on the **Create Cluster** button to create the cluster. Alt Text *** ## Node Group Addition * When you see the **Success** status, it means your cluster including the **Auxiliary node pool** is fully provisioned, allowing you to move forward with creating a **Node Group**. Alt Text * Click on the **Add Node Group** button on the top-right. * **Name**: Provide a descriptive name for your node group. * **Accelerator**: Select the appropriate accelerator for your workloads. * **Capacity Type:** You can choose the node to be a **On Demand** instance or a **Spot instance**. * **Machine Type**: Choose the machine size that meets your performance requirements. * **Scaling Configuration**: Define the minimum and maximum number of nodes. Alt Text *** ## **Viewing Cluster Details** * The status will show `success` once the node group is successfully created and the cluster is now ready for use. * Once the **Node Group** is created, you can view its information by clicking on the **Overview** tab. * Click on the **Deploy** button to deploy the model to the node. You can find the deployment page [here](/model-suite/deployments/creating-a-deployment). Alt Text *** ## **Monitoring your cluster** You can track the overall usage and performance of your cluster to ensure optimal operation, by clicking on the **Monitor** tab. Alt Text * **Date Range**: Select the date range for which you want to view monitoring metrics. * **Pod Info**: View detailed information about the pods in your cluster. * **GPU and GRAM Utilization**: Monitor the usage and performance of GPUs and GRAM.
