Change a HCP Vault Dedicated cluster tier
The HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) automates the deployment and configuration of all resources needed to run HCP Vault Dedicated on the cloud service provider (CSP) associated with the HashiCorp Virtual Network (HVN).
You can also change the tier (and size) of a cluster as needed with no planned downtime. This allows you to scale up your cluster from a lower tier to meet workload demands during peak hours, and scale down the cluster when needed.
Note
You can not scale a cluster down to the development tier.
Log into the HCP Portal.
From the Vault clusters page, click the Vault cluster you want to change the tier for.
Click Manage and select Edit configuration.
Click the Cluster Tier pulldown menu and select the desired tier.
(Optional) If supported by the selected tier, click the Cluster Size pulldown menu and select the desired cluster size.
Click Next.
Click Apply changes.
The cluster update process will begin. The cluster will remain accessible by HCP Vault Dedicated clients during the update.
