# Getting Started with Qdrant Managed Cloud
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Qdrant Managed Cloud! This document contains all the information you need to get started.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Before creating a cluster, make sure you have a Qdrant Cloud account. Detailed instructions for signing up can be found in the [Qdrant Cloud Setup](/documentation/cloud/qdrant-cloud-setup/) guide. You also need to provide [payment details](/documentation/cloud/pricing-payments/). If you have a custom payment agreement, first create your account, then [contact our Support Team](https://support.qdrant.io/) to finalize the setup.
|
|
|
|
Premium Plan subscribers can enable single sign-on (SSO) for their organizations. To activate SSO, please reach out to the Support Team at [https://support.qdrant.io/](https://support.qdrant.io/) for guidance.
|
|
|
|
## Cluster Sizing
|
|
|
|
Before deploying any cluster, consider the resources needed for your specific workload. Our [Capacity Planning guide](/documentation/guides/capacity-planning/) describes how to assess the required CPU, memory, and storage. Additionally, the [Pricing Calculator](https://cloud.qdrant.io/calculator) helps you estimate associated costs based on your projected usage.
|
|
|
|
## Creating and Managing Clusters
|
|
|
|
After setting up your account, you can create a Qdrant Cluster by following the steps in [Create a Cluster](/documentation/cloud/create-cluster/).
|
|
|
|
## Preparing for Production
|
|
|
|
For a production-ready environment, consider deploying a multi-node Qdrant cluster (at least three nodes) with replication enabled. Instructions for configuring distributed clusters are available in the [Distributed Deployment](/documentation/guides/distributed_deployment/) guide.
|
|
|
|
If you are looking to optimize costs, you can reduce memory usage through [Quantization](/documentation/guides/quantization/) or by [offloading vectors to disk](/documentation/concepts/storage/#configuring-memmap-storage).
