Determine Firewall Rules
As part of this tutorial, you will specify a port when you launch your Amazon Redshift cluster.You will
also create an inbound ingress rule in a security group to allow access through the port to your cluster.
If your client computer is behind a firewall, you need to know an open port that you can use so you can
connect to the cluster from a SQL client tool and run queries. If you do not know this, you should work
with someone who understands your network firewall rules to determine an open port in your firewall.
Though Amazon Redshift uses port 5439 by default, the connection will not work if that port is not open
in your firewall. Because you cannot change the port number for your Amazon Redshift cluster after it is
created, make sure that you specify an open port that will work in your environment during the launch
process.
Step 2: Launch a Sample Amazon Redshift
Cluster
Now that you have the prerequisites completed, you can launch your Amazon Redshift cluster.
Important
The cluster that you are about to launch will be live (and not running in a sandbox).You
will incur the standard Amazon Redshift usage fees for the cluster until you delete it. If
you complete the tutorial described here in one sitting and delete the cluster when you are
finished, the total charges will be minimal.
To Launch an Amazon Redshift Cluster
1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://
console.aws.amazon.com/redshift/.
Important
If you use IAM user credentials, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to
perform the cluster operations. For more information, go to Controlling Access to IAM Users
in the Amazon Redshift Management Guide.
2. In the main menu, select the region in which you want to create the cluster. For the purposes of this
tutorial, select US West (Oregon).
