Could you tell us more? What do you see? Can you attach screenshot? To create cluster you can follow below documentation. Under performance section you can specify workter type and how many nodes you need in your cluster.
But maybe your options are limited due to policies that can exists within your organization.

It seems to be probably access issue. Check with your workspace admin if the unrestricted cluster creation option is enabled for you.

Hi @Ganeshch ,

Oh, that explains everything. Free edition has following limitations:

"Free Edition users only have access to serverless compute resources. Custom compute configurations and GPUs are not supported. Additionally, outbound internet access is restricted to a limited set of trusted domains."

Yes if you are using legacy community version you will be able to create clusters but with free edition it is limited serverless compute
