# About Qdrant Cloud
|
|
|
|
Qdrant Cloud is our SaaS (software-as-a-service) solution, providing managed Qdrant instances on the cloud.
|
|
We provide you with the same fast and reliable similarity search engine, but without the need to maintain your own infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
Transitioning from on-premise to the cloud version of Qdrant does not require changing anything in the way you interact with the service. All you have to do is [create a Qdrant Cloud account](https://qdrant.to/cloud/) and [provide a new API key](/documentation/cloud/authentication/) to each request.
|
|
|
|
The transition is even easier if you use the official client libraries. For example, the [Python Client](https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant-client/) has the support of the API key already built-in, so you only need to provide it once, when the QdrantClient instance is created.
|
|
|
|
### Cluster configuration
|
|
|
|
Each instance comes pre-configured with the following tools, features and support services:
|
|
|
|
- Automatically created with the latest available version of Qdrant.
|
|
- Upgradeable to later versions of Qdrant as they are released.
|
|
- Equipped with monitoring and logging to observe the health of each cluster.
|
|
- Accessible through the Qdrant Cloud Console.
|
|
- Vertically scalable.
|
|
- Offered on AWS and GCP, with Azure currently in development.
|
|
|
|
### Getting started with Qdrant Cloud
|
|
|
|
To use Qdrant Cloud, you will need to create at least one cluster. There are two ways to start:
|
|
|
|
1. [**Create a Free Tier cluster**](/documentation/cloud/quickstart-cloud/) with
|
|
1 node and a default configuration (1 GB RAM, 0.5 CPU and 4 GB Disk). This
|
|
option is perfect for prototyping. You don't need a credit card to join.
|
|
2. [**Configure a custom cluster**](/documentation/cloud/create-cluster/) with additional nodes and more resources. For this option, you will have to provide billing information.
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you use the Free Tier cluster for testing purposes. The
|
|
capacity should be enough to serve up to 1 M vectors of 768 dimensions. To
|
|
calculate your needs, refer to our documentation on [Capacity and sizing](/documentation/cloud/capacity-sizing/).
|
|
|
|
### Support & Troubleshooting
