ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Cloud Create & Connect to Your Cluster Cluster Types Standard Clusters

Standard ClustersΒΆ

If you choose the Standard option during cluster creation, data replication in your cluster can be based on tablets (default) or vnodes, depending on the configuration of your keyspaces.

When you CREATE a keyspace, it has tablets enabled by default. To use vnodes-based data replication, you must explicitly disable tablets when you CREATE a keyspace. See Enabling Tablets in the ScyllaDB documentation for instructions.

A Standard cluster allows you to reach up to 70% storage utilization.
