InfluxDB OSS {{< current-version >}} does **not** support clustering.
For high availability or horizontal scaling of InfluxDB, use the commercial
clustered offering, [InfluxDB Enterprise](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/).

- For information about creating an InfluxDB Enterprise cluster, see
  [Install an InfluxDB Enterprise cluster](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/introduction/installation/).
