## ClickHouse Cloud[​](#clickhouse-cloud "Direct link to ClickHouse Cloud")

ClickHouse Cloud is a fully managed, cloud-native service that delivers the power and speed of ClickHouse without the operational complexities of self-management.
This option is ideal if you prioritize rapid deployment, scalability, and minimal administrative overhead.
ClickHouse Cloud handles provisioning, scaling, maintenance, and updates so users can focus entirely on data analysis and application development.
It offers consumption-based pricing and automatic scaling to ensure reliable, cost-effective performance for analytical workloads. It is available across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with direct marketplace billing options.

## Bring Your Own Cloud[​](#byoc "Direct link to Bring Your Own Cloud")

ClickHouse Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) allows organizations to deploy and manage ClickHouse within their own cloud environment while leveraging a managed service layer. This option bridges the gap between the fully managed experience of ClickHouse Cloud and the complete control of self-managed deployments. With ClickHouse BYOC, users retain control over data, infrastructure, and security policies to meet specific compliance and regulatory requirements, while offloading operational tasks like patching, monitoring, and scaling to ClickHouse. This model offers the flexibility of a private cloud deployment with the benefits of a managed service, making it suitable for large-scale deployments at enterprises with stringent security, governance, and data residency needs.

ClickHouse Private is a self-deployed version of ClickHouse, leveraging the same proprietary technology that powers ClickHouse Cloud. This option delivers the highest degree of control, making it ideal for organizations with stringent compliance, networking, and security requirements, as well as for teams that possess the operational expertise to manage their own infrastructure. It benefits from regular updates and upgrades that are thoroughly tested in the ClickHouse Cloud environment, a feature-rich roadmap, and is backed by our expert support team.
