# Create a Bandwidth Cluster

When you create a bandwidth cluster in a specified region, all computing resources created in the city covered by this region with specified pricing model, will be added in to this bandwidth cluster automatically.

{% endhint %}

## Prerequisites

* Currently only bare metal instances and virtual machine instances can be added in to the bandwidth cluster.
* The instance pricing model should be **Pay-as-you-go**; the public network pricing model should be [**Regional Aggregated Burstable 95th**](/welcome/pricing/network-billing/regional-aggregated-burstable-95th.md).

## Procedures

1. Go to **Products** > **Bandwidth Cluster**, and click **Create Bandwidth Cluster**.
2. Select the region where you want your computing resources share one bandwidth commitment and be aggregated to calculate the 95th peak bandwidth.

3. Configure the bandwidth.\
   You can select the available bandwidth commitment or enter the value you want. You will see the corresponding price and burst capability.\
   See [**Regional Aggregated Burstable 95th**](/welcome/pricing/network-billing/regional-aggregated-burstable-95th.md) for more details about bandwidth cluster pricing.
4. Check the **Summary** and click **Confirm Order** and you can view your new bandwidth cluster in the list.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.console.zenlayer.com/welcome/traffic/bandwidth-cluster/create-a-bandwidth-cluster.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
