The first step in using Aiven for Apache Cassandra® is to create a service. You can do so either using Aiven Console or the Aiven CLI.

Create an Aiven for Apache Cassandra service using the Aiven Console#

  1. Log in to the Aiven Console.

  2. Follow these instructions to create a new Aiven for Apache Cassandra service.

If you prefer launching a new service from the CLI, Aiven CLI includes a command for doing so.

In order to launch a service, decide on the service plan, cloud provider, and region you want to run your service on. Then run the following command to create an Aiven for Apache Cassandra service named demo-cassandra:

avn service create demo-cassandra       \
   --service-type cassandra             \
   --cloud CLOUD_AND_REGION             \
   --plan PLAN                          \
   --project PROJECT_NAME
