{{< cloud-name >}} is a fully managed and hosted multi-tenanted version of the InfluxDB 2.0 time series data platform.
|
||||
The core of InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 is built on the foundation of the InfluxDB open source time series database. But it is
|
||||
much more than a database — it is a time series data platform that includes services for monitoring,
|
||||
dashboards, analytics, and processing events and metrics.
|
||||
|
||||
InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 is API-compatible and functionally compatible with InfluxDB OSS 2.0.
|
||||
The primary differences between InfluxDB OSS 2.0 and InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 are:
|
||||
|
||||
- Scrapers collecting data from specified targets are not available in the cloud
|
||||
- A cloud instance currently includes only a single user and a single organization
|
||||
- Retrieving data from a CSV source using the [`csv.from()`](/v2/reference/flux/functions/csv/from) function is not supported
|
||||
|
||||
Important new features in InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 include:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Free plan (rate-limited)**: Designed for getting started and for the hobbyist, you can skip downloading and installing and jump right in to exploring InfluxDB 2.0 technology.
|
||||
- **Flux support**: [Flux](/v2.0/query-data/get-started/) is a standalone data scripting and query language that increases productivity and code reuse. It is the primary language for working with data within InfluxDB 2.0. Flux can be used with other data sources as well. This allows users to work with data where it resides.
|
||||
- **Unified API**: Everything in InfluxDB (ingest, query, storage, and visualization) is now accessible using a unified [InfluxDB v2 API](/v2.0/reference/api/) that enables seamless movement between open source and cloud.
|
||||
- **Integrated visualization and dashboards**: Based on the pioneering Chronograf project, the new user interface (InfluxDB UI) offers quick and effortless onboarding, richer user experiences, and significantly quicker results.
|
||||
- **Usage-based pricing**: The new pricing approach offers more flexibility and ensures that you only pay for what you need. The Pay As You Go plan automatically adjusts for projects based on data needs.

Everyone starts with the rate-limited [Free plan](/v2/cloud/rate-limits/free-tier). You can try out InfluxDB Cloud as long as you like, but the data retention is limited to new data (within the last 72 hours) only. Other limits are in place for query and writes, but you should be able to monitor 5-10 sensors, stacks or servers comfortably. If you want to remove the rate limits, you can upgrade tp the [Pay As You Go](/v2/cloud/rate-limits/pay-as-you-go-option) plan.

## Differences between InfluxDB Cloud and InfluxDB OSS
|

{{< cloud-name >}} is API-compatible and functionally compatible with InfluxDB OSS 2.0.
|
||||
The primary differences between InfluxDB OSS 2.0 and InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 are:
|
||||
|
||||
You'll see charts showing the data trends over the past 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days based on the time range selected in the drop list located in the upper left.

To view your data, click **Usage** in the left navigation menu.
|
||||
- [InfluxDB scrapers](/v2.0/write-data/scrape-data/) that collect data from specified
|
||||
targets are not available in {{< cloud-name "short" >}}.
|
||||
- {{< cloud-name "short" >}} instances are currently limited to a single organization with a single user.
|
||||
- Retrieving data from a file based CSV source using the `file` parameter of the
|
||||
[`csv.from()`](/v2/reference/flux/functions/csv/from) function is not supported;
|
||||
however you can use raw CSV data with the `csv` parameter.
|
||||
- Multi-organization accounts and multi-user organizations are currently not
|
||||
available in {{< cloud-name >}}.

## Review rate limits
|

|
||||
To optimize InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 services, [rate limits](/v2.0/cloud/rate-limits/) are in place for Free plan users.
|
||||
|
||||
To upgrade to the Pay As You Go option, discuss use cases, or increase rate limits,
|
||||
reach out to <a href="mailto:cloudbeta@influxdata.com?subject={{< cloud-name >}} Feedback">cloudbeta@influxdata.com</a>.
|
||||
- **Free Plan (rate-limited)**: Skip downloading and installing InfluxDB 2.0 and
|
||||
jump right in to exploring InfluxDB 2.0 technology.
|
||||
The Free Plan is designed for getting started with InfluxDB and for small hobby projects.
|
||||
- **Flux support**: [Flux](/v2.0/query-data/get-started/) is a standalone data
|
||||
scripting and query language that increases productivity and code reuse.
|
||||
It is the primary language for working with data within InfluxDB 2.0.
|

Flux can be used with other data sources as well.
|

This allows users to work with data where it resides.
