Creating vector buckets

A vector bucket is a designated space for storing and querying vectors. Before using vectors, you must create a vector bucket. This topic describes how to do so.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have signed up for a Volcano Engine account and completed real name verification. For instructions, see Account registration and Real Name Verification.

For regions that currently support the vector bucket feature, see Regions and endpoints.

Notes

Each account can have up to 100 vector buckets per region.

Steps

In the left navigation pane, click Vector bucket list - Beta.

In the upper-left corner of the displayed page, click Create vector bucket.

Configure the vector bucket parameters.

Consist only of lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-). Start and end with a lowercase letter or number.
