## Restricting Cluster Access by IP Range
You can restrict access to your cluster by specifying allowed IP ranges. This ensures that only clients connecting from the specified IP ranges can access the cluster. For more information, see [Client IP Restrictions](/documentation/cloud/configure-cluster/#client-ip-restrictions).

* The cluster mode is automatically enabled to allow distributed deployments and horizontal scaling.
* The maximum amount of payload indexes per collection is set to 100. Larger numbers of payload indexes lead to performance degradation (starting with Qdrant v1.16.0).

You can set default values for the configuration of new collections in your cluster. These defaults will be used when creating a new collection, unless you override them in the collection creation request.

## Restart Mode
The cloud platform will automatically choose the optimal restart mode during version upgrades or maintenance for your cluster. If you have a multi-node cluster and one or more collections with a replication factor of at least 2, the cloud platform will use the rolling restart mode. This means that nodes in the cluster will be restarted one at a time, ensuring that the cluster remains available during the restart process.

It is possible to override your cluster's default restart mode in the advanced configuration section of the Cluster Details page.

## Shard Rebalancing
When you scale your cluster horizontally, the cloud platform will automatically rebalance shards across all nodes in the cluster, ensuring that data is evenly distributed. This is done to ensure that all nodes are utilized and that the performance of the cluster is optimal.

You can deactivate automatic shard rebalancing by deselecting the `rebalancing_strategy` option. This is useful if you want to manually control the shard distribution across nodes.

## Rename a Cluster
You can rename a Qdrant Cluster by clicking the pencil icon next to the cluster name on the Cluster Details page.
Renaming a cluster does not affect its functionality or configuration. The cluster's unique ID and cluster URLs will remain the same.
