Creating a Hazelcast Database
This page covers the configuration specific to Hazelcast — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode

- Combined — A single pool of members forming one Hazelcast cluster. Best for most deployments.
- Topology — Role-separated member tiers, each scaled and resourced independently.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of Replicas | Number of Hazelcast members in the cluster. Required. |
License
Hazelcast Enterprise features require a license.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| License Secret | Name of the Kubernetes Secret containing your Hazelcast license key. |
