Quickstart

Create a compute federation from the CLI in under two minutes.

1. Install the Vantage CLI — Follow the CLI installation guide if you haven't already.

2. Log in — Run vantage login and authenticate with your Vantage credentials.

3. Create the federation — Run vantage cluster federation create my-federation --description "My first federation". The name must be unique across your organization.

4. List your federations — Run vantage cluster federation list to confirm the federation was created. It appears in the list with its name and description.

5. Add clusters — Federations link clusters together. Use the cluster create or update commands to associate clusters with the federation.

tip

Federations are useful for distributing workloads across clusters in different regions or providers. A job submitted to a federation is routed to an available cluster within it.
