Viewing properties for a workgroup
In Amazon Redshift Serverless, a workgroup is a collection of resources available for use. When you choose Amazon Redshift Serverless, in the Amazon console, you can choose Workgroup configuration from the navigation menu to view a list. You can use the Search box to find workgroups that meet your search criteria. Each workgroup entry has a few properties displayed:
Workgroup - The name of the workgroup. You can select it to view and edit the workgroup's properties.
Status - Shows whether the workgroup is available.
Namespace - The namespace associated with the workgroup. Each workgroup is associated with one namespace.
Creation date - The date the workgroup was created.
Tags - Tags associated with the workgroup.
Workgroup properties
You can list workgroups by choosing Workgroup configuration in the left menu. Then you can choose a workgroup from the list. Several panels show properties for the workgroup. You can also perform actions. General information displays the following:
Workgroup - The name of the workgroup.
Namespace - The namespace associated with the workgroup. You can choose it to view its properties. A workgroup is associated with a single namespace.
Date created - When the workgroup was created.
Status - Indicates if the workgroup resources are available. If it's available, you can connect with a client to the Amazon Redshift Serverless instance, in order to query data or create database resources, or you can connect with query editor v2.
Endpoint - The URL.
JDBC URL - The URL to establish JDBC client connections. You can use this URL to connect with a JDBC driver for Amazon Redshift. For more information, see Configuring a connection for JDBC driver version 2.1 for Amazon Redshift.
ODBC URL - The URL to establish ODBC client connections. It contains properties, like the database and user ID, and their values.
Workgroup version and Patch version - Amazon Redshift Serverless regularly releases new versions and patches. You can use the workgroup version and Patch version numbers to track software updates to your Amazon Redshift Serverless workgroup. For more information about changes and features in specific patches, see Cluster versions for Amazon Redshift.
The Data access tab contains several panels:
Network and security - You can see network properties, such as the Virtual private cloud (VPC) identifier, VPC security group list, Enhanced VPC routing, and the Publicly accessible setting. If you choose Edit, you can change these settings. Additionally, you can select Turn on enhanced VPC routing, which routes network traffic between your serverless database and data repositories through a VPC, for enhanced privacy and security. You can also select Turn on Public Accessible, which makes the database publicly accessible from outside the VPC, allowing instances and devices to connect.
Redshift managed VPC endpoints - You can create managed VPC endpoints to access Amazon Redshift Serverless from another VPC.
The Limits tab has settings for controlling capacity and use limits for Amazon Redshift Serverless. It contains the following panels:
Base capacity in Redshift processing units (RPUs) - You can set the base capacity of the compute resources used to process your workload. For more information, see Understanding Amazon Redshift Serverless capacity.
Usage limits - You can set up to four limits for the maximum compute resources that your Amazon Redshift Serverless instance can use in a time period, and select actions for Amazon Redshift Serverless to perform when reaching those limits. For example, you can set your workgroup to have two limits, one of 500 RPU hours and one of 900 RPU hours. You can have Amazon Redshift Serverless send you an alert when it reaches the first limit of 500 RPU hours, then turn off user queries when it reaches the second limit of 900 hours. These limits help control your costs and make them more predictable.
Query limits - You can set limits on queries, like the timeout setting. These limits help you optimize cost and performance.
The Tabs tab has the Tags panel, which shows any tags that you created for your workgroup. For more information about tagging resources, see Tagging resources overview.
