Hello,

The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce **v1.11.1** of the ScyllaDB Cloud  
Terraform provider, which adds **X Cloud support** to the `scylladbcloud_cluster`  
resource.

## Highlights

### X Cloud cluster support

X Cloud is ScyllaDB Cloud’s autoscaling cluster, powered by the  
tablets-based replication. Instead of managing a fixed node count and  
instance type, customer define a _scaling policy_ and the ScyllaDB Cloud handles  
capacity automatically — scaling up as storage demand grows and scaling back  
down when it drops.  
More: [X Cloud Clusters](https://cloud.docs.scylladb.com/stable/cloud-setup/cluster-types/xcloud-clusters.html#)

To create an X Cloud cluster, use the new `scaling` block in place of the  
`node_type` and `min_nodes` fields:

```hcl
resource "scylladbcloud_cluster" "xcloud" {
  name = "My_XCloud_Cluster"
  cloud = "AWS"
  region = "us-east-1"
  cidr_block = "172.31.0.0/16"

  enable_vpc_peering = true
  enable_dns = true

  scaling {
    instance_families = ["i8g"]

    storage_policy {
      min_gb = 500
      target_utilization = 0.75
    }

    vcpu_policy {
      min = 6
    }
  }
}

```

The `scaling` block accepts the following nested configuration:

| Field | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `instance_families` | Yes | Instance families for autoscaling (e.g. `["i8g","i7i"]`). |
| `storage_policy.min_gb` | No | Minimum physical storage in GB. The cluster will not scale below this threshold. |
| `storage_policy.target_utilization` | No | Target storage utilization as a fraction (0–1). Defaults to `0.8`, maximum `0.9`. |
| `vcpu_policy.min` | No | Minimum vCPU count. The cluster will not scale below this baseline. |

Both `storage_policy` and `vcpu_policy` are optional. If omitted, ScyllaDB  
Cloud will assume 0.

## Standard clusters are unchanged

There are no breaking changes for Standard clusters in this release. Existing  
configurations using `node_type`, `min_nodes`, and `availability_zone_ids`  
continue to work without modification.

## Full documentation

The complete argument reference for `scylladbcloud_cluster` is available at the  
[Terraform Registry](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/scylladb/scylladbcloud/latest/docs/resources/cluster).

For a deeper look at how X Cloud autoscaling works — including storage  
utilization targets, instance families — see the  
[X Cloud Clusters documentation](https://cloud.docs.scylladb.com/stable/cloud-setup/cluster-types/xcloud-clusters.html).
