Creating a workgroup with a namespace

Choose the Serverless dashboard. Then choose Create workgroup.

Enter the workgroup name.

Choose a Virtual private cloud (VPC) for Amazon Redshift Serverless. This assigns the workgroup to a specific virtual network in your Amazon environment. For more information about VPCs, see Overview of VPCs and subnets.

Choose one or more VPC security groups. For more information, see Control traffic to resources using security groups.

Under Subnet, specify one or more subnets to associate with your database. These subnets are contained in the VPC you chose previously and must be in three distinct Availability Zones. For more information, see Considerations when using Amazon Redshift Serverless.

Select the base RPU capacity that conforms with your requirements.

Choose either Create a new namespace, and enter the namespace name, or Add to an existing namespace, and select the namespace from the drop-down list.

For Database name and password, specify the name of the first database. You can also specify an admin other than your default console admin, by editing the Admin user credentials.

For Permissions, you choose Associate IAM role to associate specific IAM roles with your namespace and workgroup. For more information about associating IAM roles with Amazon Redshift, see Identity and access management in Amazon Redshift.

You can customize your encryption settings by creating a new key or choosing a key other than the default. For Audit logging, choose the logs to export. Each log type specifies different metadata. Choose Continue to review your choices.

Review your settings under Review and create. It shows the settings you chose in the previous steps.

Choose Save.
