# Adding a YugabyteDB Cluster

When you add a cluster, a default namespace group (subclient) is automatically created. You can create more namespace groups for data that has different backup requirements.

### Before You Begin

- To configure a YugabyteDB instance, make the following entries while adding a YugabyteDB cluster:

  - Host: Load balancer full name, a public IP address, or a YugabyteDB Anywhere (YBA) host.

  - API token: API token of the user with the following privileges:

    - Admin

    - SuperAdmin

    - BackupAdmin

    You can find the API token by logging on to the YugabyteDB Anywhere console.

  - Storage configuration : The YugabyteDB storage configuration which will be used for backups and restores.

- Network configuration requirement for YugabyteDB deployed on AWS EC2 or Azure Blob Storage:

  If the access node is outside of the YugabyteDB virtual private cloud (VPC), then complete the following steps:

  - Create a peering connection between the access node VPC and the YugabyteDB VPC.

  - For YugabyteDB VPC security group, the port 443 must be open.

  - Both access node and the YugabyteDB Anywhere host must be able to access the S3 bucket or Azure Blob Storage.

- The following keys and tokens for authentication:

  - Amazon S3: IAM or access key and secret key

  - Azure Blob Storage: SAS token
