# Cluster

Redis Cluster provides a way to run a Redis installation where data is automatically sharded across multiple Redis nodes. A client that connects to a cluster handles command redirections and talks to each node in the cluster directly.

Medis supports Redis Cluster out of the box. To connect to a cluster, fill in the host address and port number of any node in the cluster in the connection settings modal. You can also enable SSL mode and fill in the username and password if they are required.

Once connected, Medis will discover other nodes in the cluster automatically and dispatch commands to the correct node by calculating the slot of keys.

## Caveats

At the moment, commands invoked in the command query view will be sent to a random node in the cluster.
