Reserved Cluster

Gathr offers a reserved cluster to users on a request basis, providing a long-running cluster for peak application deployment periods. This feature allows users to optimize performance, save time on resource provisioning, and choose resource configurations aligned with their timelines.

Request a Reserved Cluster

Gathr users can request for a reserved cluster as follows:

  1. Login to Gathr and navigate to User Profile (in left pane) > Compute Setup tab.

    reserved-cluster

  2. Navigate to the “Request a Reserved Cluster” section and click on REQUEST RESERVED CLUSTER.

    If you have added a cloud account, such as AWS or Databricks, in Gathr, this option will be accessible on the Compute Setup Listing page.

Deploy on Reserved Cluster

Prioritize using a reserved cluster to run your applications.

Use Reserved Cluster

Always: Only leverage the reserved cluster to run the job. If the maximum resources are already utilized, the application deployment will wait for the next available slot.

When Free Slots are Available: Utilize the reserved cluster only if a slot is available. Otherwise, launch an extra small cluster.

Reserved Cluster Used Slots

All Gathr users can check the number of slots used and remaining for applications deployment.

This information is easily accessible by hovering over the Engine icon in the user settings.
