Component: Redshift

Redshift component

The Redshift component is used to represent data warehouses from your Amazon Web Services architecture with Cloudcraft.

Toolbar

The toolbar is displayed when selecting a component. It allows you to customize parts of your component and its visual to your liking.

  • Color. Select a predefined color or enter the hexadecimal value of the color for the component and its accent. The component can use the same color for both 2D and 3D view, or different colors for each.
  • Nodes. Enter the number of nodes for the Redshift cluster.
  • Instance type. Select the Redshift instance type. Changing the instance type changes the hardware details shown in the toolbar to reflect what is used by the hypervisor.
  • Size. Select the size of the Redshift instance. As with instance type, the hardware details shown in the toolbar change to reflect the size.

API

In the Cloudcraft API, a Redshift instance is represented in JSON.
