# Create a cluster
|
|
|
|
Qdrant Cloud offers two types of clusters: **Free** and **Standard**.
|
|
|
|
## Free Clusters
|
|
|
|
Free tier clusters are perfect for prototyping and testing. You don't need a credit card to join.
|
|
|
|
A free tier cluster only includes 1 single node with the following resources:
|
|
|
|
| Resource | Value |
|
|
|------------|-------|
|
|
| RAM | 1 GB |
|
|
| vCPU | 0.5 |
|
|
| Disk space | 4 GB |
|
|
| Nodes | 1 |
|
|
|
|
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/).
|
|
|
|
The choice of cloud providers and regions is limited.
|
|
|
|
It includes:
|
|
|
|
- Standard Support
|
|
- Basic monitoring
|
|
- Basic log access
|
|
- Basic alerting
|
|
- Version upgrades with downtime
|
|
- Only manual snapshots and restores via API
|
|
- No dedicated resources
|
|
|
|
If unused, free tier clusters are automatically suspended after 1 week, and deleted after 4 weeks of inactivity if not reactivated.
|
|
|
|
You can always upgrade to a standard cluster with more resources and features.
|
|
|
|
## Standard Clusters
|
|
|
|
On top of the Free cluster features, Standard clusters offer:
|
|
|
|
- Response time and uptime SLAs
|
|
- Dedicated resources
|
|
- Backup and disaster recovery
|
|
- Multi-node clusters for high availability
|
|
- Horizontal and vertical scaling
|
|
- Monitoring and log management
|
|
- Zero-downtime upgrades for multi-node clusters with replication
|
|
|
|
You have a broad choice of regions on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
|
|
|
|
For payment information see [**Pricing and Payments**](/documentation/cloud/pricing-payments/).

## Create a cluster
|
|
|
|
This page shows you how to use the Qdrant Cloud Console to create a custom Qdrant Cloud cluster.
|
|
|
|
> **Prerequisite:** Please make sure you have provided billing information before creating a custom cluster.
|
|
|
|
1. Start in the **Clusters** section of the [Cloud Dashboard](https://cloud.qdrant.io/).
|
|
1. Select **Clusters** and then click **+ Create**.
|
|
1. In the **Create a cluster** screen select **Free** or **Standard**
|
|
Most of the remaining configuration options are only available for standard clusters.
|
|
1. Select a provider. Currently, you can deploy to:
|
|
|
|
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
|
|
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
|
|
- Microsoft Azure
|
|
- Your own [Hybrid Cloud](/documentation/hybrid-cloud/) Infrastructure
|
|
|
|
1. Choose your data center region or Hybrid Cloud environment.
|
|
1. Configure RAM for each node.
|
|
> For more information, see our [**Capacity and Sizing**](/documentation/cloud/capacity-sizing/) guidance.
|
|
1. Choose the number of vCPUs per node. If you add more
|
|
RAM, the menu provides different options for vCPUs.
|
|
1. Select the number of nodes you want the cluster to be deployed on.
|
|
> Each node is automatically attached with a disk space offering enough space for your data for a default setup.
|
|
1. Select additional disk space for your deployment.
|
|
> This can be required, if you want to store all data on disk and only use RAM for caching.
|
|
1. Review your cluster configuration and pricing.
|
|
1. When you're ready, select **Create**. It takes some time to provision your cluster.
|
|
|
|
Once provisioned, you can access your cluster on ports 443 and 6333 (REST) and 6334 (gRPC).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should now see the new cluster in the **Clusters** menu.
|
|
|
|
## Next steps
|
|
|
|
You will need to connect to your new Qdrant Cloud cluster. Follow [**Authentication**](/documentation/cloud/authentication/) to create one or more API keys.
|
|
|
|
You can also scale your cluster both horizontally andvertically. Read more in [**Cluster Scaling**](/documentation/cloud/cluster-scaling/).
|
|
|
|
If a new Qdrant version becomes available, you can upgrade your cluster. See [**Cluster Upgrades**](/documentation/cloud/cluster-upgrades/).
|
|
|
|
For more information on creating backups of a cluster and restore from them, see [**Backups**](/documentation/cloud/backups/).
