Provisioning Clusters

Creating a TigerGraph Cloud solution (cluster) is a streamlined process that can take a few minutes to complete.

1. Creating a Solution

On the Clusters page, click the button to create a new cluster.

Step 1: Select a Starter Kit (Free Tier)

For new users, TigerGraph provides Starter Kits. These are pre-configured solutions that include:

• A specific Graph Schema.
• Sample data ready for loading.
• Pre-written GSQL queries for common use cases (e.g., Fraud Detection, Supply Chain).

Step 2: Configure Infrastructure (Paid Tiers)

Professional and Enterprise users can choose:

• Instance Type: CPU and RAM allocation.
• Disk Size: Must be at least 3x the RAM size.
• Region: Strategic geographic placement for low latency.

2. Naming & Subdomains

Each solution requires a unique name and a subdomain.

• Internal Name: Used for organization within your dashboard.
• Subdomain: Forms your unique access URL (e.g., my-project.i.tgcloud.io).

3. Accessing the Solution

Once the status changes to Ready, you can access your solution via:

• GraphStudio URL: Accessible directly in the browser.
• REST Port 443: The default port for all REST requests on TigerGraph Cloud.

[!IMPORTANT] Azure Limitation: The GSQL Web Shell is currently not supported on Azure-hosted clusters due to limitations with the Azure Application Gateway. Use a local GSQL client instead.
