A new CLI option --switch-instance-type is added to the update-database command to switch the instance types to custom instance types for the COD clusters after the database creation. You must have the COD_USE_CUSTOM_INSTANCE_TYPES entitlement to use this option.
If you plan to scale up the cluster vertically or change the existing instance type to any custom instance type, you can use the --switch-instance-type option. However, the custom instance types must be included in the allowlist by the Cloudera Operational Database. Use the list-supported-instance-types command to fetch the list of supported instance types.
Following is an example of the usage.
cdp opdb update-database --environment-name <env_name> --database-name <database_name> --switch-instance-type instanceGroup=INSTANCEGROUP,instanceType=instancetype
This is available starting in COD v1.46 and you do not need to upgrade to a higher version of COD to benefit from this feature.
