# About Qdrant Cloud
|
|
|
|
Qdrant Cloud is our SaaS (software-as-a-service) solution, providing managed
|
|
Qdrant instances on the cloud. We provide you 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 change
|
|
how you interact with the service. All you need is a [Qdrant Cloud account](https://qdrant.to/cloud/)
|
|
and an [API key](/documentation/cloud/authentication/) for each request.
|
|
|
|
Our official [client libraries](/documentation/interfaces/#client-libraries/)
|
|
can help. For example, if you use the [Python Client](https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant-client/)
|
|
you can take advantage of the built-in API key. With that client, you provide
|
|
the API key only once, when the QdrantClient instance is created.
|
|
|
|
*Available as of v1.8.2* <!-- MUST CONFIRM -->
|
|
|
|
You can also attach your own infrastructure as a private region on the Hybrid
|
|
Cloud. Once attached, you can control this cloud using the same tools and UI
|
|
that you use for other cloud providers. For details, see our
|
|
[Hybrid Cloud](/documentation/cloud/hybrid-cloud/) documentation.
|
|
|
|
## Cluster configuration
|
|
|
|
Each instance comes pre-configured with the following tools, features, and
|
|
support services:
|
|
|
|
- Uses the latest available version of Qdrant.
|
|
- Supports upgrades to later versions of Qdrant as they are released.
|
|
- Includes monitoring and logging to observe the health of each cluster.
|
|
- Configurable through the Qdrant Cloud Console.
|
|
- Vertically scalable.
|
|
- Available natively on AWS and GCP, and Azure.
|
|
- Available on other providers if you use the Hybrid Cloud.

## Getting started with Qdrant Cloud
|
|
|
|
To use Qdrant Cloud, you need at least one cluster. You can create one in the
|
|
following ways:
|
|
|
|
1. [**Create a Free Tier cluster**](/documentation/cloud/quickstart-cloud/) with
|
|
one 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 resources. For this option, you need billing information.
|
|
|
|
If you're testing Qdrant, We recommend the Free Tier cluster. 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/).
