A method for a multi-cluster warehouse includes allocating a plurality of compute clusters as part of a virtual warehouse. The compute clusters are used to access and perform queries against one or more databases in one or more cloud storage resources. The method includes providing queries for the virtual warehouse to each of the plurality of compute clusters. Each of the plurality of compute clusters of the virtual warehouse receives a plurality of queries so that the computing load is spread across the different clusters. The method also includes dynamically adding compute clusters to and removing compute clusters from the virtual warehouse as needed based on a workload of the plurality of compute clusters.
