vocab: title: ScyllaDB Vocabulary description: >- Key terms and concepts used across the ScyllaDB Cloud Management API and ScyllaDB Admin REST API. source: https://cloud.docs.scylladb.com/stable/api-docs/ terms: - term: cluster definition: >- A set of ScyllaDB nodes organized as a distributed database deployment. Managed via the ScyllaDB Cloud API; identified by a numeric clusterId. - term: datacenter definition: >- A logical grouping of nodes within a cluster, typically corresponding to a cloud provider region. Referred to as "dc" in API paths. - term: node definition: >- An individual ScyllaDB database instance within a datacenter. Nodes are the fundamental unit of capacity and replication. - term: accountId definition: >- Numeric identifier for a ScyllaDB Cloud account. Required as a path parameter in most API endpoints. - term: cloudProviderId definition: >- Numeric identifier for the underlying cloud provider (0 = AWS, 1 = GCP). - term: scalingMode definition: >- Determines how cluster capacity is managed. Values: STANDARD (manual node count) or XCLOUD (auto-scaling). - term: encryptionAtRest definition: >- Boolean flag indicating whether data stored on cluster nodes is encrypted at rest using provider-managed keys. - term: userApiInterface definition: >- The client protocol interface exposed by the cluster. Values: CASSANDRA (CQL) or ALTERNATOR (DynamoDB-compatible). - term: firewallRule definition: >- An IP CIDR block entry in the cluster allowlist that permits network access to the cluster's CQL or Alternator port. - term: vpcPeering definition: >- A network connection between the ScyllaDB Cloud VPC and a customer VPC on the same cloud provider, enabling private connectivity. - term: clusterRequest definition: >- An asynchronous operation record tracking the progress of a long-running cluster action such as create, resize, or delete. - term: vectorSearch definition: >- Optional capability add-on nodes attached to a cluster that provide approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) vector similarity search. - term: maintenanceWindow definition: >- A scheduled time window during which ScyllaDB Cloud may apply automatic maintenance updates to a cluster. - term: scyllaVersion definition: >- The ScyllaDB software version running on cluster nodes, expressed as a semantic version string (e.g., "5.4.0"). - term: instanceType definition: >- The cloud provider VM instance type used for cluster nodes (e.g., i3.xlarge on AWS). - term: cidrBlock definition: >- An IPv4 CIDR notation network range (e.g., "10.0.0.0/16") used for VPC configuration or firewall allowlist rules. - term: bearerToken definition: >- A ScyllaDB Cloud personal access token passed in the Authorization HTTP header as "Bearer " to authenticate API requests. - term: status definition: >- Lifecycle state of a cluster or async request. Common values include ACTIVE, CREATING, DELETING, FAILED, QUEUED, IN_PROGRESS, COMPLETED. - term: regionId definition: >- Numeric identifier for a cloud provider region where the cluster or datacenter is deployed.
