On the opened screen, choose parameters of your new deployment:
* `Deployment type`
* `Deployment name` a unique name for your deployment;
* `Global settings` choose between:
* Single - for affordable, performant single-node deployments;
* Cluster - for highly available and multi-tenant deployments;
* `Region` AWS region where deployment will run;
* Desired `storage capacity` for storing metrics (you always can expand disk size later);
* `Retention` period for stored metrics.
* `Size` of your deployment [based on your needs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/understand-your-setup-size.html)
* Cloud provider - for deployments on AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.
* Region - cloud provider region where deployment will run;
* `Tier and storage` choose between:
* [Tier](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics-cloud/tiers-parameters/) predefined set of parameters for your deployment [based on your needs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/understand-your-setup-size.html);
* Retention desired retention period for stored metrics;
* Storage - desired storage capacity for storing metrics (you always can expand disk size later);
We provide recommended capacity depends on how much data your ingestion rate and retention period involve,
as well as on the size of each data point. We assume each data point is 0.8 byte based on our experience
with VictoriaMetrics Cloud and take the ingestion rate and retention period from your deployment configuration.
We suggest using the recommended capacity for retention periods of one month or less.
If you need to keep data longer (6 months or more), you can start with a smaller storage size and increase it over time.
If you ingest high cardinality data, this increases the data point size, and you may need more storage than we recommend.
Please note that while you can increase storage size, you cannot reduce it due to AWS limitations.
We charge $0.09 per GB-month for SSD storage.
Since VictoriaMetrics Cloud doesnt charge extra for storage, we recommend using enterprise features like [downsampling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#downsampling)
and [retention filters](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#retention-filters) to optimize disk space.
You can find the formula for calculating the recommended storage [here](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/guides/understand-your-setup-size/#retention-perioddisk-space).
Feel free to adjust parameters as needed.
* `Advanced settings` additional parameters for your deployment:
* `Deduplication` defines interval when deployment leaves a single raw sample with the biggest timestamp per each discrete interval;
* `Maintenance Window` when deployment should start an upgrade process if needed;
Also see the [Tier Parameters and Flag Parameters Configuration](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics-cloud/tiers-parameters/).
This document provides an overview of tier parameters and predefined flag settings for VictoriaMetrics Cloud.
