Creating a workgroup with a namespace

Complete the following steps to create a workgroup. For more information about workgroup configuration, see Workgroup properties.

  1. Choose the Serverless dashboard. Then choose Create workgroup.

  2. Enter the workgroup name.

  3. Choose an IP address type for the workgroup. Choices include:

    • IPv4 – With this option, your Amazon resources only communicate over the IPv4 addressing protocol.

    • Dual-stack mode – With this option, your Amazon resources can communicate over the IPv4, IPv6, or both addressing protocols. Also, you must associate an IPv6 CIDR block with the VPC and subnets used for your workgroup in the Amazon VPC. You can use the Amazon VPC console to create an Amazon VPC or update an existing Amazon VPC to use IPv6 addressing. For more information, see IPv6 support for your VPC; in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

  4. Choose a Virtual private cloud (VPC) for Amazon Redshift Serverless. This assigns the workgroup to a specific virtual network in your Amazon environment. When using dual-stack mode, the Amazon VPC you choose must support IPV6 addressing. For more information about an Amazon VPC, see Overview of VPCs and subnets.

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

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

  7. Select the base RPU capacity that conforms with your requirements.

Choose a namespace

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 workgroup selections

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

  2. Choose Save.

After you create the workgroup, it's added to the Workgroups list.
