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

- For information about creating an InfluxDB Enterprise cluster, see
  [Install an InfluxDB Enterprise cluster](/{{< latest "enterprise_influxdb" >}}/introduction/installation/).
