InfluxDB Cloud Now Beta on Azure

InfluxDB Cloud is now available in beta on Microsoft Azure, offering a serverless time series data platform with automatic scaling, instant-on deployment, and automatic backup. The service is based on open-source InfluxDB 2.0 and extends the availability of InfluxDB to more regions, including Azure Western Europe. This new service is designed for development and trial workloads, and users can sign up for a free account at cloud2.influxdata.com. InfluxDB Cloud on Azure differs from InfluxDB Enterprise on Azure in terms of its serverless architecture and lack of role-based access control (RBAC). The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of InfluxDB Cloud is estimated to be significantly lower than that of traditional time series databases, with one customer reporting a saving of half an FTE (full-time equivalent) in system administration effort. However, the service is not yet production-ready and only offers the free tier for now, with a planned general availability (GA) release date to be announced.
