8. Select the region where you want your cluster to be deployed in the **Region** field. For the best performance, EDB typically recommends that this region should be the same as other resources you have that communicate with your cluster.
27
-
9. Enable or disable high availablity using the **High Availability** slide button. High availability is enabled by default. When high availability is enabled, clusters are configured with one primary and two replicas with synchronous streaming replication. Clusters are configured across availability zones in regions with availability zones. When high availability is disabled, only one instance is provisioned. See [Supported Architectures](../overview/02_high_availibility) for more information.

1. Whether to use private or public networking using the **Networking** slide button. Networking is set to Private by default. Private networking allows only IP addresses within your private network to connect to your cluster. Public means that any client can connect to your cluster’s public IP address over the internet.
36
-
17. Select **Create Cluster**. It might take a few minutes to deploy.
47

6. In the **Networking** section, Whether to use private or public networking using the **Networking** slide button. Networking is set to Public by default. Public means that any client can connect to your cluster’s public IP address over the internet.
48

## DB Configuration
52

In the **Parameters** section, you can update the value of the database configuration parameters, as needed.
53
+
54
+
To update the parameter values, see [Modifying Your Database Configuration Parameters](../using_cluster/03_modifying_your_cluster/05_db_configuration_parameters)

## Availability
59

Enable or disable high availability using the **High Availability** slide button. High availability is enabled by default.
60

See [Supported Architectures](../overview/02_high_availibility) for more information.
In this section, Azure subscription administrators can learn how to initially set up their EDB Cloud account, invite others to join them in exploring what EDB has to offer, and create initial clusters as an account owner so that development can begin.
The database parameters listed on the DB Configuration tab are also referred to as Grand Unified Configuration (GUC) variables. See [What Is a GUC Variable?](https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/what-guc-variable) for more information.

+
The list of parameters is populated based on the type of database you selected on the **Operational Settings** tab when you created your cluster. For more information about the parameters for your database type:

- For Postgres parameters, see [Setting Parameters](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/config-setting.html) and [Server Configuration](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config.html) in the Postgres documentation.
