First steps​

  1. Create an account

    Navigate to https://control.aerospike.cloud. You can sign up with either a Google account or with an email address and password.

  2. Create an organization

    Your organization allows you to grant access privileges to other users. The organization name can be 1-100 characters long. Once an organization is created, the name cannot be changed.

  3. Create a database

    • Click Databases in the left-side navigation.

    • Click Create new.

    • Choose a name for your database. The database name can be 1-100 characters long.

    • Click the Create Database button.

      The new database appears in your list of databases along with its status. New databases take about 10-15 minutes to launch. When the status changes to Running, the database is ready.

  4. Create an API key

    API keys authenticate users for database access.

    • In the Databases panel, select the database for the API key.

    • Select API Keys from the top navigation.

    • Click New API Key.

    • Enter a name for the key and click Generate Key.

    • The new key's secret appears in the dialog box. Copy it and store it in a safe place. If you lose the key secret, there is no way to retrieve it; you must delete the key and generate a new one.
