title: Private Cluster
---

**Private Cluster** is a dedicated and isolated computing environment where **nodes** (virtual machines or containers) are securely deployed. These clusters are designed for **enhanced security, performance, and compliance**, with resources isolated from other tenants. Private Clusters are ideal for workloads that require **strict data privacy, high availability, or regulatory compliance**. Within this environment, users can fully manage their network configurations, and **node deployment**, offering **tailored control** over their infrastructure.

**Key features**
- **Enhanced Security and Isolation:** Operates in isolated environments with strict access controls, reducing risks of breaches.
- **Greater Control and Customization:** Full control over hardware, software, and configurations tailored to specific needs.
- **Improved Performance and Predictability:** Dedicated resources ensure consistent performance without interference from other users.
- **Regulatory Compliance:** Enables adherence to industry regulations by offering control over data storage and handling.
- **Integration with On-Premises Systems:** Easily connects with existing infrastructure, supporting hybrid cloud deployments.

## Accessing Private Cluster Details

Navigate to the sidebar and click on the Private Cluster tab to view its configuration.

The interface will display:
 - **Host Details** 
 - **Monitoring Information** 
 - **Audit Logs**

### Host details

#### Host Overcommit

Host overcommit allows allocating more virtual CPUs than the physical CPUs available on a host. 

**For example :**  
With an overcommit ratio of **1.5x** or **2x**, the effective CPU count is increased by **1.5 times** or **2 times**, enabling higher resource utilization but with a trade-off of potential performance impact if all workloads peak simultaneously.

:::info Note
**Once a host is overcommitted, it cannot be reverted back to its original state.**

### Monitoring

Monitoring in a private cluster tracks **CPU and Memory utilization** per host, providing host-wise visibility across multiple nodes.

### Audit Logs

Audit logs provide a comprehensive record of activities and cost-related information within the cluster.

#### Action Logs
Action Logs record **host overcommitment events**, providing visibility into when and how CPU resources are overcommitted within the cluster.

#### Billing Logs

Billing Logs display **host billing entries**, allowing you to monitor and verify resource consumption costs at the host level.
