Summary

InfluxDB Cloud is a fully managed service on AWS, offering scalable and highly available InfluxDB clusters with storage sizes ranging from 16GB to 256GB, starting at $149 per month, including a single Elastic Load Balancer endpoint for writing and querying data. The service automatically handles consensus and coordination behind the scenes, ensuring high availability and scalability. Users can create retention policies with a replication factor of two to ensure data is up and running even if one node goes down. InfluxDB Cloud will offer multi-region clusters and replication later this year, allowing users to scale out their cluster as needed to meet storage or throughput needs.
