Before you can create your first Data Integration pipeline for a Redis Cloud subscription, you must first deploy the cloud infrastructure needed to host the pipeline and run the workers associated with the pipeline. In Redis Cloud, this is called a **Workspace**. Each Pro subscription can have one Data integration workspace. You only need to set up the workspace once - any pipelines you create for your subscription will run on the workspace until you delete it. You won't be charged for a workspace until you start running your Data Integration pipeline.

## Create a Data Integration workspace

For multiple source databases or Redis subscriptions, see [Plan source connectivity](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/rdi/networking). It explains which endpoint services you can reuse and which connections you configure for each workspace.

To create a Data Integration workspace for an existing [Pro subscription](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/create-database/create-pro-database-new):

1. In the Redis Cloud console, select **Data Integration**.

2. Select **Create workspace** if you have no workspaces yet.

    If you already have a workspace, select **New workspace**.

    ![The new workspace button.](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rc/rdi/rdi-new-workspace-button.png)

    You can also open **Data Integration** from a subscription or database page.
    Select **Create workspace** to use that subscription.

3. Select your Pro subscription if it is not already selected.

4. Review **Data Integration subnet (CIDR)**. The console suggests a dedicated
   `/22` Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) range for the workspace.

    [Plan network capacity for all pipelines](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/rdi/scale-pipeline#plan-workspace-network-capacity)
    before you create the workspace. Choose a `/21` or larger range if you plan
    more than 5 sources or more than 5 processor replicas in total.
    These counts are a conservative planning trigger, not a capacity limit.
    You cannot enlarge the workspace CIDR after creation.

    For Amazon Web Services (AWS), the RDI workspace CIDR must:

    - Be in the same [RFC 1918 private address range](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1918#section-3) as the subscription virtual private cloud (VPC)'s primary CIDR: `10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12`, or `192.168.0.0/16`.
    - Not overlap with existing subscription, peering, transit gateway (TGW), application, database, or RDI workspace CIDR ranges.

    For example, a subscription VPC has the primary CIDR `10.238.252.0/24`.
    The range `192.168.0.0/22` is invalid because it is in a different
    RFC 1918 range. An unused range such as `10.239.0.0/22` is valid.

    If the suggestion is missing or unsuitable, select another unused range.
    It must meet your capacity needs and use the same private address range.
    See [VPC CIDR block association restrictions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-cidr-blocks.html#vpc-resize).

5. Select **Create workspace**.

    ![The create workspace button.](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rc/rdi/rdi-create-workspace-button.png)

Redis Cloud creates the workspace in the background. Select **Create pipeline**
to [create your pipeline](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/rdi/define) while it provisions.
Select **Create pipeline later** to return to the Redis Cloud console.

## View workspace status and details

You can view your workspace in one of the following ways:

- From the Redis Cloud console, go to the **Data integration** page, or
- From your subscription, select the **Data Integration** tab

![Workspace pipeline list showing a streaming pipeline and its Sources column.](https://redis.io/docs/latest/images/rc/rdi/rdi-2-workspace-sources.png)

There, you'll see your workspace and its pipelines. The **Sources** column lists each pipeline's source names and database types. A source with unfinished configuration is marked **Pending setup**. Open its draft to continue setup. To see your workspace details, including the deployment CIDR and region information, select **Workspace actions > Workspace details**.

## Delete workspace

> [!WARNING]
> Make sure to [delete your data pipeline](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/rdi/view-edit#delete-pipeline) before deleting your workspace.

To delete your workspace, select **Workspace actions > Delete workspace** from your workspace.
