Summary of Changes

Hello @ti-chi-bot, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the TiDB Cloud Proof of Concept (PoC) documentation to clarify the prerequisites for creating a Dedicated cluster. It specifically adds information about the necessity of having a payment method on file before proceeding with cluster creation for PoC purposes.

Highlights

  • Documentation Clarification: A new note has been added to the tidb-cloud-poc.md document, emphasizing that users must provide a payment method (credit card, wire transfer, or cloud marketplace account) before they can create a TiDB Cloud Dedicated cluster for a Proof of Concept. The note also assures users that PoC credits will be applied to eligible expenses.

Code Review

This PR adds a helpful note to the PoC documentation about the payment method prerequisite for creating a Dedicated cluster. The change is well-written. I have a couple of minor suggestions to further improve it by adding a helpful link and rephrasing a sentence for better clarity and conciseness.

My review is guided by the provided documentation style guide, specifically focusing on:

  • Completeness (Line 14)
  • Conciseness (Line 24)
  • Avoiding passive voice (Lines 43-45)

> Before creating a TiDB Cloud Dedicated cluster, you must add one of the following payment methods:

For better readability and conciseness, you can rephrase this sentence to use active voice and simpler wording. This also aligns with the style guide's preference for avoiding passive voice and unnecessary words.12

Footnotes

  1. The style guide recommends avoiding unnecessary words and repetition to keep the documentation concise. (link)

  2. The style guide advises against overusing passive voice, suggesting active voice for clearer and more direct sentences (e.g., 'TiUP starts the cluster' instead of 'The cluster is started by TiUP'). (link)
