Adding a Datacenter¶

You can add a new datacenter (region) to an existing ScyllaDB cluster to scale out the cluster and provide higher availability (HA).

Choose Action> Add Data Center in your cluster’s view to open a request to add a new datacenter. You’ll need to specify the number of nodes you want to add in that datacenter. The number of nodes you can add equals or is a multiple of the Replication Factor set for your cluster (3, 4, or 5). The cluster status will be verified before provisioning to ensure stability and performance.
