* **VPC Private Links**: Premium customers can connect their Qdrant Cloud clusters to their VPCs using private links.
* **Storage encryption with shared keys**: Premium customers can encrypt their data at rest using their own keys.
* **Topology Aware Multi-AZ Setup**: Premium customers can deploy their clusters across multiple availability zones for higher availability and resilience. This guarantees a **99.95% uptime SLA** for Multi-AZ clusters.

1. Premium tier customers can choose if the cluster should be deployed within a single availability zone, or across multiple availability zones for higher availability and resilience. This can only be chosen during cluster creation and not changed later.
1. Select additional disk space for your deployment.

@@ -103,6 +104,12 @@ To create a production-ready cluster, you need to ensure the following:
Your cluster should have at least 3 nodes, and each collection should have a replication factor of at least 2. This ensures that is one node fails, or is restarted due to maintenance, a version upgrade, or a scaling operation, that the cluster remains fully operational. You can ensure this by checking the **High Availability** checkbox when creating a cluster.
**Multi AZ Deployment (Premium only)**
Premium tier customers can choose to deploy their cluster across multiple availability zones. This ensures that if one availability zone goes down, the cluster remains operational. You can ensure this by checking the **Multi AZ Deployment** checkbox when creating a cluster. This can not be changed later.
Multi AZ clusters need a minimum of 3 nodes, and can only scale to a multiple of 3 (e.g. 3, 6, 9, etc.) to ensure that nodes are evenly distributed across availability zones.
Your collections should have a replication factor of at least 2 (better 3) to ensure that all data is available across availability zones, so the outage of one zone does not compromise the availability of the cluster. Shards will be automatically distributed across availability zones, so that each shard has a replica in another availability zone. Traffic is routed between zones automatically, so that the cluster remains available even if one zone goes down.
**Disk Speed (AWS only)**
We recommend the **Balanced** tier for disks >= 32 GiB, and the **Performance** tier for disks >= 256 GiB.
