Cluster operations

After you create a cluster, you can perform cluster operations to optimize performance, control costs, and ensure high availability. Cluster operations allow you to resize, pause, resume, or even recreate clusters as your data warehousing needs evolve.

Common use cases include scaling compute capacity for peak workloads, pausing clusters during inactive periods to reduce costs, and recreating clusters with different configurations or in different Availability Zones for disaster recovery.
