This topic describes how to add a node to an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL cluster.
Prerequisites
An RDS cluster is created.
The RDS cluster is in the Running state.
Background information
When you add a node to an RDS cluster, the read and write requests of the RDS cluster are not affected.
After you add a node, you can specify a weight for the node. This way, the system distributes requests to the node based on the specified weight to implement load balancing.
An RDS cluster consists of up to one primary node and eight secondary nodes.
Billing rules
For more information about the billing rules after nodes are added, see Specification changes.
Procedure
Go to the Instances page. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which the RDS instance resides. Then, find the RDS instance and click the ID of the instance.
In the Instance Topology Management section, click Add or Delete Node.
In the dialog box that appears, select Add Node and click Next.
In the Nodes section of the page that appears, click the
icon or Add Node. Then, specify a zone, node type, and vSwitch for the new node. NoteIf you want to cancel the addition operation, click the
icon to the left of the node. Read and select Terms of Service and click Pay Now.
