Adjusting Shard Quantity
Overview
You can adjust the shard quantity after purchasing a sharded cluster instance to adapt to your changing business scenarios.
Billing
The instance will be billed by the new specifications after its specifications are changed. Make sure that your Tencent Cloud account balance is sufficient to cover the updated billing. For more information, see Specification Adjustment Billing.
Note
After new nodes are added to the cluster, data sync will start without affecting the business.
Do not adjust the node quantity and node computing/storage specifications at the same time.
After the node quantity is adjusted, billing will start based on the new specification.
The name, private network address, and port of the instance remain unchanged after node quantity adjustment.
A started specification adjustment task cannot be canceled.
