Issue descriptionIssue description

After you create a Yandex Data Processing cluster, its nodes remain in the UNKNOWN state.

SolutionSolution

A cluster may be in the UNKNOWN state if you are creating its VMs without public IP addresses. They are not available from the internet and do not have internet access by default.

To grant online access to these instances, you will need to use a NAT gateway.

  1. Create a NAT gateway.
  2. Add a route table, selecting the gateway you created as a next-hop node.
  3. Link the routing table to the subnet with the cluster's VMs.
  4. Set up security groups if required. If you do not use security groups, skip this step.

As a result, the cluster should change to RUNNING within a few minutes.

If the issue persistsIf the issue persists

If the above actions did not help, create a support ticket. Provide the following information in your ticket:

  1. ID of the Yandex Data Processing cluster in question.
  2. Date and time when you started creating the cluster.
