Thanks for the instructions. But How can view the cluster on AWS UI ?

You can follow these below steps.

1. sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/redshift/.

2. On the navigation menu, choose CLUSTERS. The clusters for your account in the current AWS Region are listed. A subset of properties of each cluster is displayed in columns in the list. If you don't have any clusters, choose Create cluster to create one.

3. Choose the cluster name in the list to view more details about a cluster.
